Congratulations on your acquisition. The symptoms you describe are not unusual for a well-used B. The steering wander could be caused by any of a number of things, from alignment to the condition of

Wander is not the norm. Having just last night finished a complete rebuild of my front end. I can tell you that there is a night and day difference. It's nice and tight and tracks well. Even though I

Welcome Derek, Give the list a dutch treat. Nice to see another Dutch (?) guy on this list. The rattle sound from the right rear part of your B simply is your fuel pump. It's normal, although the sou

What's the best way Use the Haynes manula and get your hands dirty :-) Actually, Lindsay Porter's book is quite good and you could browse libraries for automotive 'how to' books. Then again, there's
