Hey Guys.
I just bought a 83' 2l petrol transporter camper.
Is there a site where you can order parts and accessories online? what would you recommend?
I know i'm going to have to do an oil change soon.

Re: parts and accessories
Hi Luca. I am by no means an expert but can only relate my short experience with sourcing parts for my T2.
No offence to anyone but I have found that ordering a large quantity of items on line from Europe is by far cheaper than buying in SA. I have just ordered a whole bunch of stuff for my T2 from the UK and including transport it cost me almost half of what I was quoted locally excluding transport. (ive saved over R5k on my "bulk" order by ordering online)
Take some time and look online and make sure of all the costs involved. Pricing is very good in most cases and its actually so easy. Only disadvantage is you may have to wait a little longer than if you purchase locally.
For bigger stuff and one off items, it is probably better to source locally as the transport will cost you.
