Gezzz, that's a lot of work. Thanks for the behind the seen look. Just maintaining an old bus is a job in of its self. How do you find time to enjoy yourselves? Anyway you videos are top notch and I've been thoroughly enjoying the series. _________________ Prosit!

Great final episode. So stressful watching you bump start the bus across France. Hopefully you can squeeze a space to carry a spare starter on your next trip. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

Would you believe the ground strap was entirely missing - Also I completely cracked open the solenoid when trying to undo the nuts and clean up the contacts. So new solenoid and ground strap and it's good to go.
There were no VW shops open en route during our drive back so it was hard to find the part. I did look. Eventually, I found a supplier of the Bosch solenoid I was looking for, guess where?????? Back in Italy where I had started from

A VW starter is that hard to find in .....gulp....Europe ?
I’ve bought one off the shelf in Ajo, Arizona (population 2,500) at the local grocery/general store 5 minutes before closing time.
Great series by the way. It’s amazing for me to see a bus out of Quartzsite AZ, a hamlet I’m well acquainted with, plying the roads of the Alps on the way to Africa and Australia. It’s such a small world. |

It's been a minute, there's been a couple of changes of cast and other things, I won't bore you with all that>
But being the lovely VW people you are I know you will enjoy this episode where I took my brother on a weekend road trip to France....and then broke a screwdriver inside the spark plug hole and had to remove my engine in a dusty car park in France....
Not my proudest moment, but a good story none the less and worth a watch.

A New Kombi Life series is playing. It'll be the last one with this girl, Faith. We broke up in the middle of it (don't ask, it was awful )
Still, Ireland was nice though and the road tripping was good.
The first episode starts with some MacGuiver brake repairs on day 1.

I won't post the other episodes here, but you can find them on the Kombi Life YouTube Channel at the moment if you are interested in exploring Ireland via a Baywindow.
Hope you are all having a great weekend. _________________ Around The World in a VW - Follow the Docuseries
