Ich habe gleich meine Trabbi gekauft. Ich brauche - leider ich weiss nicht das Wort für "rear door support" oder "rear door stay" - Es ist ein Schiebe-Mechanismus, um die hintere Tür offen halten. Hilfe bei dieser wird gebeten.

@Joey-A: ich glaube er meint den Schiebefeststeller. Das Teil wurde verbaut bevor die Gasdruckdämpfer verbaut wurden. War ein Schiebegestänge aus Aluminium und bricht direkt durch, wenn man versucht die Hecktür des Kombis zu schließen ohne zuvor entriegelt zu haben. Da hab ich auch mal lange dran gesucht bis ich eines aufgetan hatte. Mein ´81 Universal hat den auch noch drin.

i guess you've bought an estate? built somewhere in the seventies? the part you're searching is called - as far as i know - "schiebefeststeller" (or something like "manueller haubenaufsteller für kombi anstelle der gasdruckdämpfer"). it's - on a regulary base - only sold by chance by most of the common partsellers, so you'll have to search for a while ... my favorite opinion: directly ask @ www.trabantersatzteile.de . i recommended andré to you, he usually has anything you can imagine, as well for older models. or, otherwise, try to find something at omoma.de or ebay.de ... (hm, asking for spare parts in the forum itself is frequently recognized as a "very big crime" *gg* ) good luck |

Hi PWB601, many thanks for the tip - maybe as a newbie I'll be excused the error - need to learn the etiquette etc. Just for the record, I've bought a 1981 Kombi, quite good condition but like an idiot the first thing I did to it was break the item in question. I'm hoping to bring it to Stoke in September and maybe even to Berlin in November and I'm trying to get it in the est condition I can.

I don't do that - I find the beer goes everywhere. I prefer to drive then drink when I'm not in the car  Seriously though, I would never drink and drive.

hi, well, for your 81 kombi, you'll exactly need this "schiebefeststeller". so we got it  and, you're by far not the first one who broke this fragile thing, so just don't mind when i had my first trabant in 2001, i drove it 'til the clutch slipped (hm, i don't know if slipped is the correct term? aah, sorry about that aweful school english  ) well, it slipped that much, that i wasn't able to have the car out of the 1st gear - then at least i fixed it so nobody is perfect ... guess it's not the last thing you'll break, and, after all, a car is good for using it and not for keeping it in a "better as new" condition in your living room (just my opinion). and things in use get broken sometimes ... that's just the way it is ... i don't know much about the spare part supply in britain, but i think it's a kind of challenge |

I am following the advice to try and get one. Actually the part is so simple that I might be able to make it myself. I love this Trabbi already - I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. Your english is pretty good by the way - better than my german ! Another good thing about being a Trabbi owner is that my german should improve. |

thanks i don't consider my english to be really good ... but at least i'm able to order a cup of coffee, and thats fairly enough to survive for me i do like england though (erm, i'd honestly say that i prefer scotland slightly to england, but i hope you'll forgive me - i'm just fond of the mountains, hillocks, glens, the scenery, the vast space and the small roads  ) yet i don't really know why at all ... i only was there once, since i had a girlfriend from over there quite a lot of years ago but i hope to get back soon ... one of my dreams is still to drive through the highlands and spend a couple o' days on the outer hebrides ... who knows ... perhaps one day

"(erm, i'd honestly say that i prefer scotland slightly to england..." - I've no problem with that, Scotland is a particularly beautiful place. Only problem is that it's full of people who hate the english and the beer is crap ! I have one or two good scottish friends and they won't mind me saying that lol ! On the other hand, I love Berlin - I only discovered it a few years ago but I wish I had seen the Berlin wall before it came down. I am not one of those people who wants the wall put back but I'm just fascinated by the whole cold war era and East Germany etc. even though I know it was a painful experience for many. |

it was - and is - a fascinating time, i fully agree to that. maybe because i've studied history for quite a while well, i'm a foreigner both in england and scotland, so for me there is no difference. england has some outstanding sceneries itself, i just remember cornwall, devon ... some places in the midlands ... but i know what you mean. talking about politics is perhaps not the best idea when visiting a pub ... but that's quite the same in germany. too many guts which dislike either east germany, or west germany, or south germany ... not my thing, it's all the same country, why not sit alltogether and enjoy? hihi, well, and i've never tasted scottish beer, ach is toigh leam uisge beatha na h-alba, i really like the whisky |

"ach is toigh leam uisge beatha na h-alba" - so you know a bit of gaelic !? - that's impressive, not that I speak any myself  oder Personally I think that beer and politics / religion / football can be ok together, it just depends on the mentality of the people involved. I have learned over the years which buttons not to press (if you know what I mean). My fascination about East Germany and the Berlin Wall is about the lengths politicians are prepared to go to in order to achieve their aims. Who in their right mind would build a wall down the middle of a street and separate families etc. - unbelievable ! Still probably a time many people would rather forget.

i do like languages, and uncommon languages are even more fascinating. but it's not more than a hobby at all... sometimes i listen to the news on bbc alba, hm, i guess i get a third of what they say there ... i generally don't have that great problems to learn the very basics of a language in my humble opinion, the worst thing about gaelic is the writing system (even if it is more regular than the english one) ... yes, you're right ... it really depends on the people involved. i know what you mean, but i so-to-say seem to have a remarkable ability to press the wrong buttoms but i also think, the long way from the seventies until the "wiedervereinigung" (reunion) of germany 1989/90 is a pretty good counterexample for the strong will of politicians (or, too, for the will to achieve their aims in the long term, instead of choosing short-term-decisions); in addition, achieve an aim without starting any quarrel or war (which is barely naturally in my opinion |

I've been trying to rationalise why I wanted to own a Trabbi. Obviously it is an icon of the former East Germany and there is a lot of nostalgia even though I am glad that the "Anti fascist protection barrier" has been removed and people are free to travel. I never had to experience anything like the DDR citizens had to and because these people could wait maybe 15 years to own this car means that they should be cherished. Also, I am not a skilled mechanic but the car is so simple that even I can do most of the maintenance. I managed to convince my wife that it was a good idea by telling her that the bodywork is made from recycled materials - she's not so sure about the blue smoke though

Hello Englander! I think a few of us want to see some pictures of Your 28yo station wagon Trabant! Cheers, mate! |

Hi Christian, I can't see how to post pictures on this forum so I sent one to your e-mail address - please forward it to anyone who is interested. The car has been registered in England for a few years now and it has a registration plate which belongs to the year 1981 (ends in the letter "W"). The original DDR plate was "BTF-DT98" and I have some of the original German documents. Headlamps are no problem - you just have to stick a small piece of masking tape towards the right hand side of the lamp glass and it is then legal to drive in the UK.

Here is the photo: Not too bad, with chrome bumpers! And...ehm...BTF-DT98 is not a GDR plate. |

I've just checked the Fahrzeugbrief and yes, there is an entry for Bitterfeld but before that there was one for FTL-**** (Freital), so I guess that was its original plate. It was imported into the UK in 2006. Still haven't figured out how you put a picture into the forum - are you going to enlighten me  . Your'e right, the tape doesn't look great - was going to replace it with clear stick on prisms, but maybe a headlamp change would be better. Mine has 6v electrics though so finding the right lamps might not be so easy. Most scrapyards have cars that are not so old.

To put pictures into the forum: Find a website where You can upload pictures. After the uploading of a picture, a link is indicated which You have to put in Your answer with [IMG] www. (your link) .com [/IMG]...(but no space between the signs)! To find headlamps - if You were a New Zealander, I would recommend http://www.horopitomotors.co.nz/ to You. photo by me: [Bearbeitet von Christian K (02-08-2009 - 21:32)] |
