I’ve just done that job and lost a couple of litres of coolant. Just place a bucket underneath to catch coolant and make sure the engine is cold.

A year ago my gauge started to point way over to the right, with the red light flashing occasionally. No coolant loss and cooling fan kicked in as normal. Swapped temperature sensor for new one and now gauge sits slightly left of LED

If your coolant is colourless it’s probably just water. I’d top it up with water for now and in the near future drain it all off, flush out and refill using pink g13/water mix.

I've just replaced the breather which goes across top of tank.

It has 2 wires coming from it but are not connected to anything. It is in the headlamp aperture on drivers side (RHD) Photo attache...

O'learey motorhomes sell one to replace obsolete units which fit an aperture measuring 14" x 14".
I'm going to replace the skylight soon on my Autohomes Kameo soon.
They are located on A1174 between Beverley and Hull.

Quickest and probably cheapest option is to fix door card by drilling holes through card into tailgate and secure with self tapping screws. If you cover card with fabric, cut a tiny slit in fabric were the hole is and you might never even see the screw heads. Alternatively fit plastic caps to screw ...

Not seen this question asked before.
ON my 1990 model the round VW badge is 100 mm diameter
"TRANSPORTER" is 375mm x 25mm

Doing a great job there Dave, its not very pleasant working outdoors under a makeshift shelter.
Keep the pics coming in.

Sounds similar to problem I had..
Turned out to be a bad connection on the white multiplug connector under the dashpod.
Could also be a bad connection on the oil pressure switch itself.
