JustKampers

Last Tuesday I received my first order from justkampers.com, containing all the bits I needed to fit my window lifter and a cover to protect the Van from the harsh winter ahead.  The level of service from JustKampers was brilliant the order process was simple and I was kept up to date with how it was being processed and it arrived two days early which was great as I had chosen the free postage option.

Todays The Bay

We picked up our Type 2 Late Bay this afternoon and I felt really sorry for the previous owners as it was clear they were reluctant sellers and drove the half hour route back from the other side of Cambridge in the regular crazy Saturday traffic without incident.

Five minutes after setting off an elderly couple walking along the street smiled and waved at me. At a set of lights, a couple in a car next to me started to wave and smile, this is completely new to me coming from the water-cooled scene.

Finally after reversing it into the parking space on the drive I discovered my 1st mistake and hence began my experience of owning an older VW. I had wound the window all the way down and the window lifter had snapped off, cue a call to my good mate Tom who rushed to the rescue. He showed me how to take the door card off and with a little bit of British engineering we have fudged it so the windows closes and a new part is winging its way to me.
