I like the partslookingup system at Van Cafe a lot.
Real easy to use.
You just click on your type of vehicle..
you get to a list of subsystems ..cooling, engine mechanical etc,
then you get into that list ..
then you get the details and pictures of the part, with explanations
sometimes..
it's perfect.
At Airhead I found a vanagon part after a while..
but I didn't see 'start here for vanagons' ...and then things broken
down by system.
Seemed kinda 'random' to methere.

I had been given a hint that they were the same, Jim said he thought they would work, and they did. I don't know if he now lists them for Vanagon or not. Price was reasonable, delivery was prompt, and shipping was USPS at cost, as I recall. I'll buy from them again if they have what I need.
