Was number of probs switch was faulty but a mk3 one fitted the plugs but doesn't quite go on properly have re drilled holes but bolts to short,will go to factors and get longer bolts tomorrow;shame plastic surround won't fit round mk3 stalks.There was also bad earths at the back and the rear light units are old and no amount of wet n' dry and bulb wiggling could get reliable lights;will get brand new chassis cab rear light units (were are the cheapest?)
Also has anyone got light/wiper switch stalk?I have paypal.

The rear lights will be generic rubberlights. They don't really go wrong, unless they have taken a hit, are you sure they are at fault?

I have a small mountain of switches (about 20 pairs) if you want one, you won't get the Mk3 one to fit, it need the casting for the steering lock. We tried that once, did the whole thing, switches casting, steering lock, cowling, but I was never happy with it and the wash would not work with the wipe.

Do did you actually get power at the bulb holders at the back? Do you want a light switch then?

If you want standard lights for a Transit I can't help, if you don't mind a change these might help

It does sound like the switch, but do you have lights on at the front? Silly I know, but have you changed the bulbs? Remember I said you can get new rear lights form Rubberlighs.
