right - i'll have another look - don't remember seeing a filament - but thats was because the glass/plastic is blue and not very see-through.

So if i did put in an LED and it did burn out - its only the led i'll knacker - not anything else…? happy to try if thats the case

hmm - what will happen if i do wire it up without the resistor?

There is a resistor on the circuit just before the led/bulb - i remember seeing it before… not got it apart at the moment to confirm exactly what it is. And the bulb/led does look like an led … it has 2 wire legs

cheers - theres no cap on mine that I can tell - seems to be a blue led…or at least nothing thats removable. I've got a couple of red ones knocking about so will try those… i don't think it matters to Mr MOT what colour they are...

thanks for this info … very helpful.

I'm sure i could cover it with a dab of paint if it was too bright … really anything should do for now to get it through the MOT, I can replace with something more suitable at a later date.

Hi I need to replace the mdf/ply door panel that covers the sliding door on my Westy. Does anyone know of where I can get a replacement? I've seen JK do panels but I'm not sure if they're the same (in terms of fixing holes etc) as the Westy ones - has anyone tried them? Also, the Westy ones have som...

Hi all I need to replace my full beam indicator to get it through the MOT … so, does anyone know what voltage rating the LEDs are - there are resistors on the circuit so am not sure whether they might by lower than 12V - hoping I can just pick something up from somewhere - doesnt have to be blue And...

thanks for this … reason i was looking at the tow bar job was everywhere i've looked at the Fiammas says it takes 2 bikes with the option to add an extension to carry 3 … eg here http://www.fiammastore.com/Fiamma-Carry-Bikes-For--Minivans/Fiamma-Carry-Bike-VW-T3-T25 . You seem to have 4….?! confused….

I thought the Fiamma ones only held 3 bikes though...?

Does anybody have any experience of using a tow bar mounted bike rack on the standard Westy fitted tow bar?

I need one to carry 4 bikes, i've seen a few brands around … Halfords, Thule, Maxxraxx, Exodus… does anybody have any experience of any of these?

Many thanks

Well i've found where it is, i have no ramps or axel stands though and with the limited space i had lying under there i couldnt get one of the wires off - corroded probably so could be part of the problem? think its the live, there seems to be a fairly new looking wire bolted on the end which, assum...

we'll you're at least all making me feel better about my van! just been through 5L in about 3000km and starting to worry about it.... though it didn't used to be that bad so somethings not right....

Nowt in Gunzl, have dropped a local welders a message to see if they can help. Anyone else thats having similar issues 'adyjoad' on the brickyard forum pointed me in the direction of this thread which I hadn't come across even after loads of googling: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t...

mines got worse... took me quite a few turns to get it to turn over today - was a bit worried it wasnt going to!

I'll have a go a cleaning the connectors first... once a work out where the starter motor actually is (yes... bit of a engine novice...! if anyone has a picture....)

Thanks lloydy... I'll get the Haynes out to work out where those things are and take a look!

I appreciate this might be a bit vague.. but any guesses would be welcome on whats causing a big 'clunk' sound, usually when turning hard (slowly) ... or sometimes when breaking and almost stopped. Its coming from the front somewhere - underneath the cab area i think. I can't tell if its coming from...
