s the title of the post says...does a lhd speedo assembly (including the surround) all fit in a rhd van?

Also my insurance renewal (with 2gether) came through at £125. Rang them and told them engine changed from 1.6 to 1.9 and because I've changed it myself and not had it done professionally renewal went up to £180!!! Looks like I'll be getting alternative quotes. I am currently in dispute with them (...

I had that problem, am sure it was the dip/main switch on the steering column.

Thank you for that, can now order my bits n pieces

another thread hijack....what throttle cable are you using? is it just a standard one? As I have the same setup on mine and the cable is knackered, has been joined before with one of those little electrical cable connectors

yes, they fit in there lovely. There are pics on my progress thread

My 1982 CU engined camper is running twin Dellorto drla 40's. Do I just get the throttle cable for a CU engined bus? Or is it shorter or longer?

quick update on this. Went armed with a meter and a bit of wiring diagram downloaded from internet. Fuses...........good Bulbs..............good light switch on dash........good hmmmmmm :?: Had already replaced the indicator/main/dip switch But wait....it only acts as a lever for the main/dip..........

If you've got the old style clip-in fuses just check one hasn't popped out of the clip and is in the glove-box. thanks for the reply, but nope, fuses are good. Also it would mean 2 fuses for both lights to not work. I think am going to be busy with a meter tomorrow, wish I could find that stupid ha...

OK, panel light problem found, its the pcb. But still neither full beam or full beam warning light

Help! MOT is due and I have found out I have no main beam. I have just renewed the switch, but no difference. I have no main beam, or flash of same, no main beam indicator light and no panel lights. Also no haynes manual, as the wife sees to have "tidied" it away somewhere. I have found fr...

Thanks for your comments guys, glad you enjoyed the yarn. Top story :ok Looks like you had a great time. We're off to Arran, (again), at the end of May/beginning of June, it's a wonderful place. We stay at Seal Shore, Kildonan on the south of the island. We too will be paying a visit to the distille...

Hmmm, this post could go in a few sections, camping, technical, etc, so if admin feels it should be moved then feel free to do so. Anyway, after owning the van since October and carrying out some work over the winter, we decided the first outing should be not too far by road, so we could make sure e...

Stripped down the switch and it was as filthy as a porn star convention in there. Cleaned it as best as I can and now the wipers self park, and I sometimes get fast speed. Waiting on switch cleaner coming, which I had coincidentally ordered for another project entirely, and hopefully will be sorted....
