Mobile Vw Camper Mechanic Wanted
We are based near Bengeo and have just started a business hiring out classic VW campers.We call ourselves www.drivemycamper.com. It is proving very popular.
However every now and then, we get a niggle with one of the vans - either with the engines or with electrics and we need a mobile mechanic and general van "handy" man, somebody who's practical. We also need somebody who can come out at short notice and take a look.
The engines are new but the design is 36 years old - so no computers needed.
Any ideas[?]

Top VW man around here always was Derek Gunning on Dicker Mill. A whole bunch of us re-built and drove the things as teenagers though. Email me through HOL link. I may be able assist.

Splat, nice one. I am going to email my other half.. I have a dream of camping in one of these little beauties and being a bit of a hippy.. I hope its a success. PS I too used to use Derek Gunning when I had a beautiful "K" reg VW Beetle, my first car.... bless she was beautiful and DG and the guys there in the late 1980's/early 90's looked after her... I still miss her...
