My dad is selling his Peugeot 405 GLX Diesel. Its got tax until end of April and NCT to Feb 2013. Its no minter but cheap motoring at €650 ono. He would accept about 550 for a member sale. I drove it to and from Manchester for the New Year without a hitch. Here is the ad on Donedeal...

Got some surplus parts I need to get out of my Dad's garage. Genuine Hella US spec tombstone rear lenses. There are 2 sets, one fits my 68 bug, the others are slightly larger, possibly for a 71-74 bug. €25 for the big set, €15 for the small one. One of the smaller lenses has a small chip out...

Bought a nice second hand Momo wheel for my bug, but looks like it came with a boss for later Golf/Corrado/Passat basically the hub fits:- Corrado 89-95 8014 Golf, Golf GTI, GTI 16v 89-98 8014 Jetta, Jetta GLI 89-98 8014 Passat...

I have a pair of front Cal Look one piece windows that were in my 68 bug for a short while. These were bought from Machine7 back in the mid 90's when UK cal look was all the craze. Give your bug a different look. Comes with the scraper seals but not the baily channel. 50Euro for the pair...

This is my ad on Donedeal for the Yokohama 195/50-R15 tyres off my 68 bug. Not a great size for a bug unless its slammed, but if an Eircooled member wants them, I'll knock 20 Euro off. Cheers Steve http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/carextras/2711935

Decided that I didn't want to mess around spending my 5 months in Ireland under my bug, so have freshened up the drum brakes on my 68, and now this kit is surplus to requirements. All parts brand new in boxes. Pair of ball joint 2.5 inch dropped spindles. CIP1 Disc Brake conversion kit...

Anyone put dropped spindles on their car and have a spare set of standard height spindles they want to sell. I don't have enough time for all the messing about I'll need to do with narrowing etc to put dropped spindles on my 68 bug, but would like to stick the disc brake kit I have on my car and...

First issue cropped up. Looks like my dad didn't tighten all the wheel nuts on the 68 and I lost a front one yesterday. Has anyone got a spare they can post to me in Castlebar? Thanks Steve

I brought these heads over from Australia a few years ago when I was going to rebuild my single port 1500. I ended up getting a rebuilt 1300 twin port, so they are now no good to me. They are suitable for a 1500/1600 single port engine. Come complete with valves, springs etc. Free to anyone who...

Looking for a good set of seat belts for a 68 beetle. 3 point interia preferred but happy to get any 3 point static belts as well. Also looking for some for the rear as well Alternatively does anyone know a good supplier for them here in Ireland. I've used Securon belts before and they worked...

Just on the off chance anyone has a narrowed beam they want to sell. I'm in Castlebar but will travel for one. Cheers Steve

Just arrived in Castlebar from a hell of a flight (with 3 young kids) from Sydney. Had a look at my beetle parked in my dad's garage and it has 2 flat tyres and needs a brake job! Being 6ft5in I can't drive with the stock steering wheel, so I need to replace it with a sports one. I have a momo...

Have a respected VW Mechanic and collector friend offering a 1950 standard model split beetle for sale here in Australia or for export. It has been converted to RHD but can easily be returned to LHD. He is old school and not computer literate, and asked if I could help publicise the auction...

I enquired about this T25 for sale in Louisburgh Mayo yesterday:- http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/campers/1639877 I was going to get my Dad to go over and have a look, but there was a guy coming from Dublin on the train to look at it with a view to driving it back to Dublin. I thought ah...
