No I'm not, but not far away. I've been there alot with my beetle and Type 3. Never actualy gone down the strip, but I recon my 480 would be fully worthy! There are quite alot of RWYB's, we should get together for one and have a 480 track day!!! :hopping:

CEM, rely or maybe just the wire!

Good evening! My rear and front wipers have a mind of their own. The wire going into the boot has had it, but how can I tell it is that and not the CEM or rely? The high level brake light does not work, I have tried changing the bulb, so it does point to the wire, but the fact that the front wiper c...

Finally sorted! The mirror glass did indeed pop off, just like the later ones. So no need to change the whole thing :D Cheers for all your help, Rachel.

Mine is the early type though, would it be as easy? Is there a certain side or place to try prising? Sounds like it's going to be so easy to break the glass....this will be me if it does....:angry:

Mirror, mirror on the........car!

Had a mare trying to get replacement wing mirror glass, so I went to the scrapy. I got hold of a complete wing mirror and so now I have two options I guess. I could replace the whole wing mirror or try to get the glass out. Can I get the glass the out, and how? If I do need to change the whole mirro...
