Re: VW Vanagon GL

Really nice van.....Person ally I'd leave the 2.1 in it. I ran one for 4 years and it's still around here in Dorset what must be 10 years on going strong.
The steering wheel cover might inspire me to cover my T5 one too !!!!!

Re: RS bumper with spots resale or payment ?

Re: '72 T Hesitation & lack of top end

All good advice but take care blowing compressed air into the carbs, crushed floats maybe an unexpected and unwelcome result. Much better and simpler to remove the carbs to clean them properly once you are sure the supply is clean and clear.
