Dying out?  I guess that'll mean more spare parts for mine when it's collectible :)

I just gave mine a service after I  took it on a 6000km round trip (Sydney to Cairns and back) - its running fine...

>>> hey, all. just a heads up. found a set of 4 injectors for $110 - brand new ! perusing the Samba turned up a lead to Auto Zone. they have GP/Sorensen units which are rebadged Lucas rotary disc units. Bosch injectors use a pintel nozzle. even if your local doesn't list them as available you can order from the main page and use the `free ship to home' feature. they have a promo code to save 20 % to boot. now, I know what you Bosch purists are thinking and I'm with you. however, for under $30 each they'll be adequate to keep the Van running til I get the others rehabbed by WitchHunter. oh, wait. a while back Miguel posted a link to a you tube vid on how to back flush them at home. so, I'm spending money to help the economy while saving money to help my wallet. woo hoo!!  it's your Vanagon/Westy. it's your money. it's your decision. I'm just saying ... h t h    mike
