So I'm going to order track end rods etc for my 72 fastback.... My question is how do I know what thread to buy? There's options for RH and LH threads... Little bit confused here lol.

Hi guys sorry another question! My fastback likes to veer to the right unless I'm holding the wheel in a stable position. Obviously I need to sort this so what are the likely courses? I'm thinking steering box or steering damper? When I lowered the front the ball joints had minimal wear as did the t...

Thanks guys...will have a check over the weekend

hi guys was just wondering which fuse is it or what do i need to get for my rear brake lights? both have stopped working, when i put my head lights on the rear bulbs light up but when u press the pedal they dont come on. any ideas?

OK cheers guys... I've just changed the rear shocks lol!!

No the bumpstops havnt been removed.. that I was awere anyway.... I didn't think of the shocks...there newly fitted standard kgb shocks...they could be bottoming out? What would be the cure for that? On the drive shaft subject that was just a guess as my watercooled vws always suffered from drivesha...

Hi guys I've lowered my fast back 2 splines at the back and the drive shafts seems to hit the body on rough bumps etc... Anyone else experiences this and how did u combat it? I know some will say raise it... But for those who didn't did u do a chassis notch or is there another way?

What's the best fix for that?

Ok so you might of remembered see saying about starting issues before...well I changed the ignition switch but it hasn't solved the starting issues.. These issues are..turn the key you get clicks but not starting. Some days she fires straight up others you have to kick start it by touching the start...

I need to get some new chrome trim for my front and rear windows....any idea on the right size? I can't seem to find any anywhere .

Excuse for a new exhaust then lol

She idles spot on and drives spot on too..

Quick question...when the car is up to temp and I'm sitting in traffic or at lights...you can hear some popping from the exhaust...but not when cold...she had recently had a tune up and runs spot on..this just happens when idling...anyone come across this?

What's the best way to get the black box out?

So.. I've just washed the fastback... Took it for a drive as u do..and turned a corner and water was pouring out of the black box under the dash board! Any ideas how to sort this?

Cheers buddy will try it.. But if not... Best place to get 1?

I had the same when I had an empi in mine... Changed it for an original... So much nicer to use. Nice fastback btw

I want to freshen up my cooling on my 72 fastback. I've been looking at thermostatsbut some state they are for an upright engine. Which is the right thermostat and fan and belt etc for our type 3 engines?

Thanks guys for the help....I've since had the car on a ramp and we noticed the heating ducts/tubes that go from the exhaust and attach to the body are missing...so need new ducts and the wires that open the flaps..

Thanks guys....I do have a new heat exchanger to go on that came with the car.

Ok thank you...silly question how do i know if the knobs are closed.. there's a blue arrow on it.. turn it left there's a solid arrow and right there's just an outline of the arrow.

I've not long purchased my first air cooled....it's a '72 fastback. My question is about setting the heating in the car. I have a switch for what looks like the windscreen and 2 knobs which I can turn left or right and the levers either side of the handbrake. And 2 plastic flaps on the dash. Am i ri...
