Have had flasher unit and X-contact (load reduction) units tested. Both are good.
Any other suggestions of where I can look/test please

Not sure when problems started.
Not driven the van for several months.
Again not sure if all failed at same time.

We are in the process of moving, so have been concentrating our efforts in that direction.
But do my answers help provide the answer to the problem. I hope so

Checked all fuses. They are OK.
As I say the Lights work.
Not sure about ignition switch, apart from lights are on the dash when key is turned on.
Could it be one or both of those two 'Crowns' behind the fuses making a bad earth.

Transporter 1985 (12 Fuses)
Indicators, wipers, horn, blower all not working.
Lights are working, and van starts up OK. Fairly new battery.
Suggestions of where the problem might be please.

Thank you for the reply Jim San. Yes, they are the round single ones. So hopefully can be easily replaced. Previously had a look on ebay etc, but could not find any. Had another search on the web sites and found some on, Status VW, £40 each. They tell me one light fits both sides of the van. Would y...

Hi Taking our Transporter T25 camper permanently to Portugal and have checked many web sites for headlight adjustment. On some new cars there is a switch for LHD/RHD but cannot see this on our Transporter! Have had a look on line at the Beam Benders or right hand drive beam converters. Basically sti...

Thanks for the reply Kev, just picked it up, no internet for a few days.
More modifications than I imagined ( bearing in mind the additional challenge of getting replacement parts from UK to CY)
Think I will wait for a good DG replacement to become available.

Hi
Can a DG 1.9 engine be replaced by a 2.1 Fuel Injected Engine reasonably easy, or does it require a lot of modification.
Thanks

Thanks everyone for your help, got the housing off by undoing the clamp bolt, then removing the plastic tube (with 3 little slots cut in it) Removed the switch by removing the little screw. Found the problem, the small arm in the barrel that turns when Key is operated had broken with part of it jamm...

So far have removed, Steering Wheel, Plastic Cowling, Switches from Steering Column,Unpluged Everything,Undone Allen Key Bolt, Ignition Key in Position One (steering unlocked) The only part I don't understand on Wiki, from Red Westie is 'knock around the shear head of the housing clamp bolt (underne...

Sorry it's me again, when I phoned GFS to order what I thought would be a complete Ignition Barrel or switch that fit on my steering column I was informed there are three component parts as follows: 5=ignition switch 928VG0050 at GPB 4.95 from GFS car parts. 1=steering lock 928VG0110 at GBP 13.50 fr...

Thanks for your replies 1664 And Ghost. Think I will order an Ignition Barrel from GFS and hope my Cypriot Electrical Technician!! has not done any damage. Been out and checked the spade where the red lead goes, no reading on the Multimeter, but I think that's down to the Ignition Barrel. Will let y...

Camper van (1900 petrol) will not start as the starter motor will not engage.Having read various posts and Wiki so far I have: Taken the starter motor out and had it bench tested out here in Cyprus, where it seemed to work OK. Have recharged the battery, then let it stand for two days before checkin...

Thank's for your replies Cruz and Kevtherev. Been and had another look at both engines. So now can I make sure I have got this right please; I transfer the water pump/thermostat from my early engine to the later engine. (now the flow and return pipes can be reused, and the pipe work on top of the en...

We had our VW Transporter Type25 Camper shipped over to Cyprus when we moved here. Unfortunately not had a great deal of use over the last three years due to...
