So my 1970 SQ BK (LHD USA Import) hàs failed on the side light colour. How has anyone else got round this? Not got the full sheet back, a rear CV joint also had to be replaced and they tell me a beetle unit is the same fit.

So thinking about rear blinds for our Sq. Would you have just a rear blind, rear and side or none?

Have a look at Type 2 detectives site, they have sold some recently. Very nice looking car.

That's brilliant, really clear. Have decided to put him in for a service with our local air cooled specialist. He has long said the Type 3 was his favourite VW and is looking forward to taking a look. We have a good car at the moment and I want to nudge it along the way to being great. Look forward ...

Thinking about this however i am running a marathon early April so might stick to the running plan.

I have noticed my ignition light flickers faintly as i drive along. Might be something loose or something else? Any suggestions please.

Many thanks,

Hi All,

Not been on for ages, but i do visit a number of FB pages, can we display our 1970 Type 3 Sq again. Has now been converted to manual after the auto gb died on the way home from Lavenham. Also interia carpets have all been fitted now so really looking good.

Cheers all,

Have decided I am going to buy a loud Bluetooth speaker and connect to our phone. Speaker will sit on a bamboo shelf.

Just confirming we will be there, camping with our local VW club, and will take our Sq Back Memphis. By which time he will be a manual and not an automatic.

We are driving down Saturday, from Northants, have booked a B&B. Looking forward to it.

Hi Dave, I will take a photo a post it over. I've also asked back at Paul Medhurst at T2D.

Many thanks,

TH

Thats fine Mike, thanks for looking.

i will ask around.

Looking at the web site "How many left" you get a figure of 42 registered Sq Back on the toad in the UK. Does this seem correct?

Mike, that would be great if you do. Will take a photo of how they are and send it over to you,

I am missing the slider control knobs from the drivers and passenger side panels. The wires are there and can be pulled, moving the flaps. Any availability on the control knobs, or alternatives?

Hope it is ok to copy and paste these.

Many thanks everyone, we had a great time. (Think my earlier post got lost.)

http://www.sywellclassic.co.uk/ Putting a link up fot a weekend show we attend in September. This is probably our favourite event of the year as it has a huge variety of cars, bikes and vintage planes. A really great atmosphere with vintage stalls, 50s & 60s bands and a mix of the usual food stalls,...

We are going to try a short term repair, but will need a floor pan section at some point.

If you are camping forms are due in tomorrow, although they are usually flexible on this by a few days.

So carpets stripped out ready for new being fitted and it was a bit more rusty under there than hoped for. Welding is arranged for a couple of weeks time so will delay new carpet being fitted. As a new owner it is worth mentioning that the rear floor pan section is lower thanvthe front, so this is t...

Thanks for the advice, going to find out about a cooler option and luckily we use a old school Vdub garage for servicing and will ask there for more advice.

Hi all, our 1970 Sq is an automatic and we had planned to occassionally tow our Eriba Puck. Just learned that the original spec stated you should not tow a trailer with an auto. Amyone else out there with this set up? Have you towed or can anyone advise on the risks.


Many thanks,

Yes, we have ours.

Really looking forward to this and hopefully getting lots of advice on owning and maintaining a type 3, still need to pick up a Haynes Manual to aid tinkering.
