My fan has started playing up so they do fail Unfortunately for me I’m at the start of a European road trip to see the eclipse in Spain Only seems to get going with a knock on the motor, which is not exactly convenient I’m hoping that the copious application of wd40 has helped! And who in their righ...

Hello

Any recommendations of a decent quality replacement of the quarterlight frame please

Or are all the ally ones made by the same people?

Don't know if this has been covered on here before, I did do a quick search but nothing came up Just to say that if using pressurized brake bleed systems, Don't pressurize at 20psi The plastic intake nozzle at the clutch master cylinder does not appreciate such pressure as I found out to my rather m...

Note to self. Get wife to check before setting off

Thanks for the replies gents I can confirm that there is no switch on the hand break lever or any wires The cap on the brake fluid reservoir is just a cap, no sensor or float There is a bit of red plastic where the light should be. I've been shopping this morning & have a warning light & han...

My 83/84 Westy has no parking break warning light. Is this normal for early vans? I had a look through the bentley PDF on here and it shows a parking warning light present on earlier air cooled vans its no 73 on the schedule Am I missing something obvious? No switch, or cables present, but oddly doe...

As an update for anyone else who is interested

MK 1 Heated window switch VW part number 321 959 621 DOES fit in the VW t25 dash

Thanks Aidan for the pointer to Stevens VW spares

Thanks Aiden
