both vans I have had , both had problems with getting the headlights to work and both vans it was the same issue......the rocker switches used tend to get grubby inside...very gently prise the switch apart and clean and lube the rocker plate and terminals inside and 'hey presto' [8D]

well a few hours spent today on dolly, she now has working lights all round (except brake lights) looking at them tomorrow. changed the terminals on my temp sender (now working) and fuel sender but due to lack of fuel i dont know if that works yet lol. got the intermittant wipers working and went round it quickly with a sponge and hot soapy water. all silly jobs really but its all gotta be done once i got the brake lights working i will run round it with t cut and start stripping the insides ready to see her naughty bits[:0]

My engine, is this the right air filter as a big hole has been cut in the bonnet because it sits to high?
Mel Gave Dolly A Quick Wash, This Is Her Bad Side [}]
I Know, But At Least It Will Keep Her Cab Dry
Look At This Manky Box[V]
Look Much Better Where It Is Now[!]
This Was Underneath, The Big Hole Was Cut Because The Air Filter Sits Above The Top Of The Bonnet[:0]
Have Fitted A Seal Ring On The Carb Now So It Is Airtight, Missing Pipe, Breather Or Return[?]
Straightened The Filter Box Lid And Fitted A Seal To That As Well So That Is Airtight Too

my air filter is on top in the center (see pic at top of this page) could i have the wrong carb and filter set up?, cheers for the advice about chocking the wheels, i always do lol, i get paranoid everytime that it will fall and squash me lmao usually end up on ramps with chocks in place and axle stands in place in case a ramp collapses lol
Looks a bit like an Morris/austin etc carb and air filter...
Really like the wider steel wheels!
