Hi - pair of rear light units - these are the "alternative quality" units but are new with new lenses (£11) and rubber seals (£12), bulbs (£2) fitted so metal units are technically free :-). £27.50 each from JK with chrome ring minus lens and seal. Needs parallel pin stop/tail bulb rather than...

Hi - will add some pics when I get a photo hosting account (haven't sold much since Photobucket started charging) - in the meantime please PM me for pics. Set of 4 wide five wheels with very good Continental 88T tyres, maybe about half worn. Painted (probably cloud white) nicely on outer side...

Hi - do you want single port or twin port ? The photo shows a single port one (which I have for £45 posted unmolested) cut to accept TP dog house hoover section. If it's twin port or the extension piece - this is what you are thinking of (albeit a while back)...

Hi - my dashboard warning (press and test early 3 pin) switch is goosed as the tabs have broken off the red lens and it simply falls out of the switch. Anyone got a beetle/bay one available at reasonable price :-) Cheers Paul

Hi - Also useul link below ... suggests you have a dimple TDC but notch is ATDC so potentially should be ignored - either way, idle timing is not as important as the max 30 degrees advance under load (3 to 3.5 thousand revs with vacuum disconnected and blocked off)...
