A Shove in the Right Direction Please?

[melissa]

Thanks. I will give that a try tomorrow after work.

Kombi interior lights are a different size, the 76 on kombi ones are smaller than the earlier ones too. You need a beetle one, and one with the smaller earth terminals.
I am not sure if I have any left at the moment but will check.
Congratulations on the purchase as well, I thought that looked like a great example when I saw it on Ebay.
I hope your daughter enjoys it, and looks after it.
Cheers, Andrew

Thank you Andrew, that saved me pulling one out of the kombi to see if it fits!

Great purchase! I wanted this for myself but could not afford it.

Hope your daughter looks after it! She will definately have something different!

Cheers

Hi Melissa,

Found this while on my daily trawl of UK eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VW-GOLF-MK1-G...1%7C240%3A1318

Should be the right one even though its from a 82

Got heaps of those lights if you need...

Car looks nice and yes those dealer fitted 70s aircon units are ugly as.....

Amen to that

But its aircon all the same, somewhat ineffective but hey.

Thanks for the link but it was driving me mental as it kept falling out so I bought a brand new one yesterday on the way home from work ... $35 ouch!
Looks good though

Good news today - passed the blue slip. Got plates on order - MK 01 VW

Still after a dash mat.

Still after a dash mat.

I have one that I don't need, my Mk1 has perfect dashboard. PM if you are interested.

[melissa]

PM sent.

[GoLfMan]

congrats on the purchase, Im really glad it went to a VW enthusiast who will look after it!

I also have a spare dash mat, will bring it up to Nats if you are interested and you can have it!

Hi Melissa,

mk1 dashmats can be purchased from super cheap (you just have to order it in).

you're probably already aware of Ben Dury Automotive in newcastle (actually in teralba). he does good work on vw's and is a good guy - for sorting out other issues that you don't want to do yourself.

German Auto Parts in the US sell the interior light for US$4.00 plus postage

[melissa]

Thanks guys. I know of Ben Durie but I go to either Neymeyers at Belmont North for my early VW stuff and J & W at Elermore Vale for my later VW stuff. I didnt realise you could still get them brand new but I have accepted RedMk2GTi's offer to buy his.

Fingers crossed the RTA has been quick in making my plates and they will be there Friday for rego day.
