Yeah Ive read your posts on the electric pump CovKid, but seeing as I have had other financial commitments to get the van through the MOT plus I am utter crap with electrics ( hated Physics at school with a passion) I havent been brave enough to look at it...

My Electrics need dire attention, I have no temp gauge, no blower now and a flickery hazard light which I think is dodgy switch and some LEDs to wire in...and dare I say it a intermittent fuel pump issue..thats now going to worry me until I do something about it :D

I need an idiots guide to Electrics to sort things out...and a multimeter, they only are a fiver on ebay...worth a purchase and a crack at it ? :shock: I mean what could possibly go wrong...

Any other members local to you? Theres no substitute for getting stuck in, but a helping hand is good. If its any use, theres a conventional (and easy to read) wiring diagram for earlier volkswagens that uses the same wiring colours. I laminated mine and stuck it on the wall - damned useful. If I can find the link to it, I'll send it to you. Saves a lot of time.

Sounds fab... :idea: theres also a helpful forum who can assist with my electrical meddling.. :idea:

Not sure about local T25 users who are also a dab hand on electrics, will have to have a mooch...
