Subject: 1972 1300 Beetle for project Author: Andy [Edit] Date Posted: 16:08:15 02/20/04 Fri A friend has a 1972 1300 VW Beetle that he needs off his hands (or drive more specifically!). It needs some work for an MOT, and is probably a worthwhile project for an enthusiast. I'm sure we're not talking much money at all, but you would need to tow away as it has been stood a year. Tyres are inflated tho, and brakes seem to work. It had all new wings 2 years ago. This car isn't mine, but you could email interest to me at acattanach@btinternet.com and I will pass details on. The car is near Chorley (Clayton Brook). Andy Cattanach.

Subject: Red 'G' light on dashboard Author: Linsey [Edit] Date Posted: 01:21:31 08/21/03 Thu I have a 1971 K reg 1200cc Beetle. On Sunday night, driving up the motorway I reached 75mph (I've been told not to take it over 65). Suddenly the little red light labelled G (left light) on the dashboard came on. Then the other red light came on and the engine cut out. As I pulled into the hard shoulder, and turned everything off (lights etc), I realised there was smoke filling the car, coming from under the back seat. There was no smoke coming from the engine. An hour later (waiting for AA) I tried to turn the engine on again and nothing happened, and was towed home. On Monday night I decided to try and turn the engine on again and it miraculously started up and sounded fine. I've checked under the back seat for scorch marks or any signs of problems (the smoke smelt electrical not rubbery) and there's nothing. The car appears to run fine, but I've only taken it round the block. However, the little red G light remains on all the time, despite getting up to around 20mph. Another thing, is when I first turned the headlights on on Sunday night, there was a smell of burning, but this either went away or I got used to it. I'd been driving on the motorway for around 1 and half hours before the engine died. Is it ok to drive the car? Does anyone know what could be wrong, or why there was smoke and no sign of anything now? There was someone sitting on the back seat at the time - perhaps this could have affected the battery? Help!

Subject: Help...for a sick or fried wiper motor switch Author: Aaron [Edit] Date Posted: 18:48:46 05/26/03 Mon After reconnecting my speedo cluster in my 72 vw bus I noticed the smell of electrical burning. Anyway, I believe that I fried my wiper switch. I ordered a replacement but I want to make sure I don't fry the next one. Any suggestions on what to do? I notice two wires that are not connected in the over populated community of wires. One is brown with a connecting lead and the second is greenish with a connecting lead. I don't know where these go. I think I may have disconnected these when trying to connect my speedo cable to the speedometer cluster. I noticed that there is a connector that is missing a wire on my windshield wiper switch but I am not sure which of the two belongs. When I connected the greenish wire, I blew a fuse. When I connected the brownish wire, it seems to operate the electronic fuel pump....Help..... Have any of you ever experienced a similar situation? I am open to suggestions. Thank you from California Aaron Replies: Re: Help...for a sick or fried wiper motor switch -- aaron, 17:59:46 05/27/03 Tue

The problem is it's 12 years old, so I'd really like to replace the seals before I connect it all up, otherwise I'll probably be heading for Leak city. The only problem is I don't know what car the calipers were originally used on, though I'd suspect it's something from the VW range.

Subject: New to all this Author: Exiled Wool (Paul) [Edit] Date Posted: 14:40:56 01/10/03 Fri Hi everyone. Got my first Beetle, a '72 1302S, and so far so good. What I'm after are general tips for keeping it alive. The engines ok (although it cuts out regularly - probably due to short journeys) but I'll need to get some bodywork done (but not for 18 months or so - cash). I don't have a dry store so I'm looking for tips to keep the body work ok. It's fairly reasonable, although the rear passenger side wing is developing rust after being loosened when the wheel fell off, so I know that needs replacing. Also, does anyone have details of meets in the North West coming up this year, I'm in Waterloo near Liverpool so fairly central for the North West. Finally, I need a pair of running boards and fixings and hope to avoid buying new ones, so if anyone knows of any, please let me know. Feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to respond - I'm using my daughters pc as I'm having trouble with my own - something wrong with IE I think!! Thanks again Replies: Re: New to all this -- neil, 09:06:59 01/11/03 Sat
