    • Hiya I don't know how many LT 1's were made in total and nor does Wikipedia. Trying to compare series is also interesting. First of course you have to bear in mind that the LT was VW's first commercial vehicle so there was a different market …

    • Lucky buggers! Photos please! OK the glow plug fuses are actually under the engine cowl to the left hand side of the engine bay. There's a little box on it's own and it's quite likely that one of both fuses in there has cracked. If they aren't it …

    • From a thread on VW LT MKI Owners of the Americas... LT in attached photo has "a complete drivetrain swap by an unknown previous owner. Late 70's early 80's Chevy Suburban or K5 with a Sbc 305, Th350, NP203, Dana 44 and a Corporate 12 bolt. " …

    • One other point - Insurance. I contacted my insurer and told them that I had modified the suspension by upgrading the front coils and rear leaves and that I had fitted bigger wheels and there was no additional raise in my premium (Adrian Flux)

    • By way of an update on this here's a comparison of wheel sizes. Note that the rear wheel arch isn't a problem for bigger wheels but the front wheel arch has a width of 730mm or 28.7 inches at it's widest point.  The default wheel/tyre combo on my…
