Thank you one and all for your suggestions finally got to the bottom of the electrical fault for those interested! 30 pins showed 12.5 v when switch off, 0.17 when switch on.... 58 and 58b pins showed zero when switch off and on .... Went back to the fuse box , the grey cabling from switch to fuses ...

Will double check tomorrow , fairly certain it's all the time , but it may be that the alcohol and good food of the silly season has addled my brain !

Hi there, I don't suppose you have any other ideas. I have replaced both connectors on the switch and also at the fuse box on either end of the grey wire... no change. I have also removed the earth cluster above the fuse box cleaned all the spades and ensured that it is grounding on the body, have a...

Well completed some tinkering wth the electrics

The new switch is getting 12.5 v at both "30" terminals but when the switch is switched there is no power from 58 and 58B terminals.

so will now have to trace the grey wire to the fuse box..... yes please

Thanks again

Andy

Hi all, have a 1981t25, about 3 months ago the side lights front and rear and dash lights started to intermittently not work . Now they don't work at all. Initially the intermittent fault was seemingly remedied by rotating the fuses, the headlight switch now does not operate the side lights or dash ...

Just as a thought make sure that the leisure battery is well charged and properly earthed to the frame ! Mine did similar to yours prior putting in a decent earth !

Good luck !

Thank you,

will try the basics as suggested although as it is a recently rebuilt engine i would have hoped that compression would be good.

Thanks again

Bits ordered thank you,

Good evening, Just wandering if any one has any recommendations for engine tuners / rolling roads in the West Sussex area! The bus a 2.0 l Aircooled is really feeling underpowered a struggle to even reach 65 mph going downhill! And even the most moderate of rises reduces the poor old bus to very low...

Thank chaps for the input! Rethink necessary

Hi all, Just trying to get the westfalia trailer for an August jaunt to applecross in the highlands, the rubber suspension bushes/ dampers are both perished and need replacing ! Does any one have any thoughts as to where I could purchase these ! Also ideally I would like a spare wheel !! Where would...

Likewise I refitted my zig in a different location and redid all my leisure wiring laßt weekend and by and large most connections were the same as the one listed on wiki! Good luck ... Very satisfying when everything worked properly. !!!

Understood ! My driving is s done to suit the van rather than forcing the old beast to conform to modern standards ha ha !!
Which is why I wanted to stick to solex es rather than performance enhancing goodies!

Re your comments about changing driving style I am satisfied with driving at a maximum of 60-70 on motorways/ dual carriageways and happy at 50 mph on normal roads! Not a speed freak but then who would be in a t25! Great vehicle ! Have had it for last 6 years best purchase we ever made ... The only ...
