Without looking I'll say you have 2 for the stop lamp, 2 for ajar and 3 for locking the door (those 5 in the door lock) and the last 1 for oil slick activation if the van is produced in certain territories :P

Sorry to hear of this BJT... do you know how Roland gets in & out? I want to block the route as I live very rural and have Roland’s around. I don’t want this happening. Seems a bloody nightmare. Hope you get the loom sorted.


Ps good to see you paying respects and homage to the late great man in your avatar. Sadly I was named after his on screen persona as my mum fancied him in the 60’s..... a ladies man on screen who turned out to be a “raving bender” off screen (her words not mine).

Wish she hadn’t told me that really. :lol:

He had a big nob too so I believe
Roland must of squeezed himself through the gap between the door and light its quite a big one if your a rat you can see my bodging block connectors through there
Then he Thought "f*** you allcock you killed my dad" then eaten the loom then chewed the plastic stuff that goes in to the van
Probably went in to the side of van had a look around my wardrobe couldn't find his way to the tripehound food and went back out
I hope :o
it was probably the same Roland that has been dancing on the mk7s engine :x

I think he's brown bread now I appear to of killed everything round gayskull

I appear to of sorted this now just needs soldering up
3 thick wires connected up any old way and the lock works
Find the 2 brake light wires door side and a brake live and earth van side
Just leaves 3 wires left so 9 chances :?
When they are the wrong way round the interior lights glow when switched off
And mine don't :P
Tools required lots of special brew, a lesbian (to press brake pedal) solder, heat shrink tubing ,rat poison :D
