Ask your questions! That's what the list is here for, after all.
Those who have seen it all and can't be bothered can just delete.
There are usually those present who are happy to reply.

Never mind how often a question is asked by a newbie... there are
always newbies joining, and how can they learn other than by asking?
This also refreshes others' memories.

I have tried myself using the archives, and won't try again.

The Type 2 Transporter models known as "Vanagon" or Type 25 or T3 is
a great vehicle let down by weak transmissions and weaker engines,
not to mention German electrics. But like older VW Transporters, the
body is great and so is the suspension, so if you like you can make
it a great handler (never mind that it's a van). Want reliability or
more power? Repower it... you can fit almost any engine into it (KEP
makes kits), though Subaru engines are the best and most popular
option (there's even a Subaruvanagon list). Other rear-engined
transmissions can also be installed (but best not to look too closely
at Renault or Skoda trans...).

Welcome to the list! You will find some nice people here, including
some with a rather BenT sense of humor...
