Thanks for that - I think wipers were still working. I'm aware it's probably a temporary fix .. Did a squirt of contact cleaner sort yours temporarily too?

Thanks people. WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner sprayed onto dash light switch and stalk switch has cured it ! Just to clarify it was sidelights only working on both settings from dash switch, but dip and full beam worked when pulling on stalk to flash (lol). It's a 4 square headlight vanagon. All b...

Sidelights working but not beam - but work when pull full beam arm, but have to hold on. Earth crowns look clean and no corrosion. After a few minutes beam comes on ok and clicking between full and beam works again... All bulbs ok. Any suggestions before I start the very fiddly earth crown check (lh...

Hi all, This is not my van in the pic, but its the same 1.6TD Pretty sure the mechanic has bent the unit down in the pic, causing the wire to short out on the metal holder of the powersteering fluid, then the wire has melted all the way back to the relay box on the left of the pic. Also got no rever...

Great..thanks so far.

Can't see that link on Brickyard...anybody got it?

One of my rear handbrake cables has snapped and so needs replacing. Will probably replace both (have just got hold of 2 from GSF). Van is 1990 1.6TD JX left hand drive vanagon. Rod looks ok from handbrake to past fuel tank,so just the cables need replacing. I don't have a Haynes and can't find expla...

Thanks....yes, I was removing alloys and putting on winter tyres/wheels. I didn't fit the alloys myself, but in my bag of nuts from the original wheels I found the four little bolts (which had obviously been removed to fit the alloys)...I figured if they weren't on with the alloys then they weren't ...

Sorry no pic, but having just taken off the rear wheels I noticed 2 little bolt holes, next to where the wheel bolts stick out. What are they for and do they need to be filled ?!

What is the best manual for 1.6TD ? I don't think there's a Haynes...
