Hi 2020 freedom,
Didn't mean to ignore your request for more info, just been so busy buying and fitting 'Brandrup stuff' and other lovely things from the club shop!
September 2013, Sand Beige, BiTDI 180 SE fully loaded with loads of stuff I'm still trying to get to grips with. Two careful previous lady owners, with only 14,000 miles on the clock. Full main dealer service history, although there isn't much as such low mileage.
My brilliant local Independent VW van specialists have been all over it checking for corrosion and anything else which might need attention and have given it 10/10. Had a service and hydraulic oil change last week and having a new cam belt kit fitted next week as despite low mileage, there's always the deterioration factor, and my chaps want to be on the safe side.
It's a lovely immaculate bus which we purchased for a very reasonable price from very nice people.
VW have managed to keep ahead of me again as from '67 it's been a Spilt Screen Samba, a lovely old 'Bay Window' and our brilliant T4 California TD red 'I' 150hp flyer...we just decide to see out our 'bus years' with a nice T5, and along comes the T6!
Having said that, I can't imagine life without a VW bus. When I hang up me driving gloves I think I'll just have one parked on the drive anyway and just go and sit in it and have a beer, but lots of good roads yet in our new super bus!
Having just collected our lovely low mileage T5 California (September 2013) we've been puzzling over these bits we found in a cupboard. Previous owner doesn't know!
