Some fairly boring expenses this week to help keep the old girl in shape.
New Headlight Switch 993.613.531.00 £54.72 plus vat less discount
Noticed a while back that the sidelight warning light would flicker and that a jab to the Headlight Switch would reignite it. Had this happen at the weekend on a run to Classics at the Castle, but this time when I jabbed the lights went out completely
I did plan to pull the switch apart and fix it as it was sure to be down to sticky connections. Unfortunately it wasn't to be as the switch is unserviceable and needed to be broken to get it apart.
Fitting was a bit tricky, but doable with an arm fully inserted under the dash from the footwell.
In addition to this I ordered a new Cat Heat Shield and associated fixings as the one on the car is a bit corroded and looking ratty.
Heat Protection 993.211.214.02 £84.26 plus vat less discount
Combination Screw x8 £1.68 plus vat less discount each
Combination Screw x1 £2.98 plus vat less discount

Locking Bolt x10 £4.48 plus vat less discount each
Nut x 6 £3.27 plus vat less discount each
All told my bill for a switch, a piece of galvanised metal and a handful of fixings. £241.72
Those 'correct' fixings sure add up!
