SHC wiring loom kit and rev counter arrived to day and it is fitted and is brilliant. I still have one issue though. When I start my engine the oil light doesn't quite go out but glows very dimly. It did this before I fitted the kit so I know it isn't that. There seems to be  some volts getting to i...

I am fitting the square headlight conversion to my van. As I will have two high beam lights on each side instead of one, the current will double. The system has a 10A fuse and one headlamp will pull 4.6A. But two will pull 9.2A which seems very close to the fuse value. My manual doesn't suggest a di...

The LED was not the fault, and yes I see what you mean about high brightness!!!I have basically given up trying to fix it now and ordered a replacement loom from SHC to get rid of the old PCB. It is definitely that which is causing the issue. It has delaminated in places. I tried adding some new wir...

It seems that the LED's are in fact 5mm and 2-2.2V which is totally standard. I just took one out and measured/tested it!I box of 200 of various colours is £4.50 on Amazon. Incidentally, this has not solved my oil light issue. Even with a known working LED fitted, I still get no light!! Copilot, and...

AI Copilot tells me this.... The 171-919-061/B LED is a small instrument panel warning light used in Volkswagen vehicles (like the T25, Golf Mk1/Mk2, Scirocco, Jetta, and Vanagon). It is not a standard "5mm LED" you’d buy off the shelf, but rather a specialized indicator lamp designed to f...

After having my van for ten years, it has just occurred to me that the oil pressure LED does not come on! I think I had assumed that it only came on if there was an issue and I know the buzzer works because it went off one day because the block connector had worked loose on the dash. So I have just ...

Does anyone know a way to remove the transparent screens from the instrument cluster? I think they are glued in. I want to fit a GPS speedo from the front.

Thanks for all your answers. I looks like it's probably not worth doing. Shame as I fancied doing an engine rebuild but if the benefits are not really that good, I think I will look for another project!!

I have a prefectly fine 1.9DG in my van but it does lack a certain get up and go! A second hand 2.1DJ has appeared near me and i am very tempted. I would do a full rebuild so it would be a winter project. Question is, will it be worth it? Power and torque figures look much better but i just wondered...

I am jealous sitting here in cold rainy UK!

As I said before, if you want to see the pictures, you can use the TOR browser and if you don't want to do that, then it would seem you can't see them! I post the pictures because a lot of people can see them and those who can't have an option to use other browsers. Is just isn't worth arguing about!!

Sorry you seem upset abou it but as i said there isnt anything i can do about it! The TOR idea was just a suggestion. You don't actually have to look if you don't want to!

Yes. It is apparently because the IMGUR software this site uses in the UK at least, is no longer available. There is a thread about it in the General Chat section: https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=183300   Out of my control sadly. If you download the TOR browser and look at this website,...

So I have got my WIFI up and running for a test. I opted for a Chinese made router and Puck aerial, suspiciously identical all but the stickers, to the Kuma products but £34 and £29 respectively instead of £170 and £100! I also went for the EE 120gb prepaid sim at £48. It is literally plug and play ...

Does anyone know what this sim actually allows? It sort of suggests to me that you pay a one off price of £48.19 and then have 120GB of data to use as and when you like for 12 months with no monthly contract. I just cannot find a proper explanation of it!!
