Thanks everyone. I guess for the time being I `ll keep looking, I was hoping for the single window one ideally.

Thanks for that dbz846.  I wonder why they are in such short supply?

I have been looking for a replacement Westfalia pop top canvas( one window,grey); they seem to be in short supply. Has anyone had experience with the ones made/supplied by NLAVW?  i.e fabric strength, front window zips and fit etc. the price is pretty good at the moment.

Thanks for the info Cobblers............I`ll look into that.

Cobblers :It's a joy to drive on them and they were really not expensive (£55 each).

Can you say where you got them at that price and presumeably you paid extra for fitting?
Any other suggestions as BF Goodies are too expensive.

To Taigagreen, When I read your first posting, I thought you were being sarcastic,but now I and other readers of this forum know differently. Since you`ve taken the moral high ground,I presume that you have also conveyed your displeasure to the organisers/participants of the charity rallies such as ...

For years I suffered this problem, even with a different propshaft (complete with rubber doughnut) on. I have virtually cured it by putting a large diameter jubilee clip mid way down the prop and by randomly rotating it, have effectively "tuned "out the vibrations.It`s a bit trial and erro...

Thanks to all who were involved for a great weekend. I really should know by now not to abuse my vehicle like this; but you can`t not have a go can you! Lucky nothing broke, but having occasional 4 wheel drive is a bit of a challenge at times.( Must spend out on a new VC sometime ) .

Today I had to fuel up again,same place,and Diesel was £1.37.9 per litre! Cost seem to vary quite a lot depending where you are. Any fresh ideas for fuel savings for all (PETROL AND DIESEL) Syncros?

Having just fuelled up at £1.35 a litre for Diesel I think it`s time to think about fuel economy.The Syncro is already lugging around a lot of extra weight compared to a normal T25 so is at a bit of a disadvantage to start with. So apart from the obvious things like going easy on the throttle has an...

What make of tyres( can`t quite read side wall )? Where from,how much and are they quiet on tarmac?
I`ve got 5 Mefro`s needing some new rubber!

Regarding LEZ,having just checked mine again on line,(I first did it in Feb.2008) it is still the same i.e saying that both from now til 2 Jan 2012 AND 3 Jan 2012 onwards, status IS EXEMPT.So that`s good enough for me!.Afterall the cameras that will be checking the registration number should`nt come...

Does anybody know 100% for sure what is the optimum AT tyre width and what is the Max safe tyre width for 6J steel wheel rims.The best info. that I `ve found on the internet is optimum is 225mm. My Mefro`s are in need of some rubber pref. before VAT goes up in Jan.!

When VAT was temporary reduced to 15% a 2% duty was added to fuel to offset the reduction in Tax collected from motorists.(some say 2p/litre,I`m not sure) Now that VAT has risen back to 17.5% this "hidden"tax has NOT been removed.There was a petition protesting about this, but that has jus...

In answer to what makes a "campervan"(motor caravan), I have a letter from Norwich Union stating that "in order for your vehicle to be rated as a motor caravan,it would have to have the following fixtures: a/ At least one bed with a minimum length of 6 ft. b/ Wardrobe(s) c/ Permanent ...
