Re: No rev counter when headlights are on

When my Golf had the same problem I could get the rev counter to read 1/2 the amount of revs by dimming the dash lights, turned out to be a broken earth wire from the dash. I would guess its an earth wire some where.

Re: headlight and switches

The head light switch blub is very easy to change, once you get the switch out of the dash, the blub should be availble from most motor factors (halford will not sell them) I think mine was a couple of pounds, its made by a company called DL products Ltd and called PCB Buld 12V 1.2w product code - D...

Re: Rattly windows - mk1

Check that there is still the rubbers in the runners inside the door. I had one come out of the runner at the back of the door (near the latch). Its just glued in there.

Re: Respray

The glass has been fitted, spend a long time trying to refit the chrome trim around the front and rear screens, I had sore fingers, what a pain it is to fit the trim in the corners. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/mark1gls/CIMG3630.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/mark1gls/CIMG3632....

Re: trim clips

I have saved the clips but there was a few which I could not catch the plastic pin when I pushed them through. Might have to look into finding some sort of plastic pin to put back in the others. I tried the plastic pin out of the red clips but the are a little bit to small. :crying: I looked on the ...
