Re: Mk1 Speedo Transducer Urgent

Well the tale continues I am now completely up the proverbial swanee. Last weekend The fuse started going again every time I switched the ignition on, therefore no headlights, which are essential this time of year as I work 20 miles away and finish at %:30 when it is getting dark. The Transducer sen...

Re: Mk1 Speedo Transducer Urgent

Unfortunately the Transducer Charles sent had different connections so I am picking up another one from V6pilot. Meanwhile I had disconnected the transducer and that allowed me to use the lights, but now it has started playing up again with the fuse blowing again even though the transducer is discon...

Hi Rich, I hope at some point I will be able to return the favour, if you ever need anything give me a shout, I might just have it. When we were with you I wasn't sure it was the same Bumper, It is :D It is an optical illusion because the one on the car has parts painted black. I am really looking f...

Well Carol and I are home from an epic 390 mile round trip. Setting off in the frost at 6:30am meant we got to Richards fairly early. Again the sincerest thanks to Rich C for the donation of the bumper, it now gives me something sound to clean up and put on. The Vitesse didn't skip a beat and we got...

Hi Rich, Thanks, I am really grateful, not wanting to look a gifthorse etc but can you tell me are the fixings still ok, and is there crazing to the gelcoat? Scuffs and needing bits of filler are fine but sanding off and re gelcoating would be a bit beyond me :) It still sounds a far more fixable pr...

HI All, The insurance company are basically giving me a desultory sum to go away :x so if the bumper is still available Rich I really want it. I am definitely going to be out of pocket on all this but I cant wait for the arguing to be finished, I want the car looking whole again. DLR, many thanks fo...

Hi,
Sorry to all involved, I am having to wait on the infernal Insurance company deciding what they are going to do :roll:

Thank you for the offer of getting it too me, we will have to wait and see, I thought this would be a fairly quick process but they just seem to be prevaricating :x
