Saw this for sale on the Samba website. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1371918 Not sure about the air suspension. :? Also I am not sure how I would feel it I sold my car and then saw it for sale soon after with that sort of mod on it - I know the new buyer can do what they like...

Brilliant thanks for the update - that is really appreciated on the oil to use and volume

All the best

Hi all Please can you let me know how much oil I need to get for an oil change? I have a 1960 356B engine in my A Dont think it would make much difference unless it is a 4 cam !!?!?!?!?! :) Anyway thanks for your help - I have been advised on the best type of oil from oilman on the forum so just nee...

I would have thought that they should be ok You are right that the flapper boxes are spring loaded so that is the tension you need to make them open and close from the control in the car. The only thing to watch for is that the wire is thick enough so that they last long enough and also then they wi...

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone had experience of purchasing / installing / running a turntable for their car in their driveway?

I would be interested in any comments or issues you may have come across.

Thanks alot

Thanks Jeremy I ended up getting PRS to finish off the wiring although they did an extremely thorough job and I paid for that in their hourly rate! At least now I have a thrid brake in the same location at you and it seems very reliable. Nowadays, it seems that most people watch out for the middle t...

Brilliant thanks Phil The best way to focus the mind and get training is to sign up for it !!! I can also vouch for the Silverstone half marathon as I go a very close up look as I ran down the pit lane and the who course - I have not been to Silverstone since 1999 when MS crashed and broke his leg. ...

Hi all I have now got back from Silverstone and checked my time. I am quite pleased with it as I was not sure how I was going to do. I completed the half marathon distance of 13.1miles in 1.49.51 I had hoped to acheive 1hr 50mins so that is great. Please remember that I have also been doing this for...

So this weekend I will be taking part in the Silverstone Half Marathon !! Training has been going well, so the distance is fine, I just want to try to get a quicker time than I have done in training so far. This, I hope will go well and I will set a decent time over the 13.1 miles. Please remember t...

I have been a member since 1998 but do not feel that I see much new stuff anymore from the registry. In fact I can not even remember if I actually renewed in December but I dont think I would be too upset if it turns out I didnt. The magazine is very samey and I think I get more news and information...

Just to keep you updated on my training I have worked out that I have covered 168 miles since I started the current training program in Sept 2012. Looking at the next few months this will increase quite a bit !! Of course I will need to get winter tyres for my feet for the next week or so :brilsmurf...

They just need to colour that orange - eh Keith !!

a/ Could be the rubbery link / junction between the steering column and steering box - if this has perished then you get play there? Also if there is wear in the steering box then there is little play there too. Cheap solution is to change the rubber link, available at most 356 guys. I have hear adv...
