    My handbrake on light bulb occasionally lights up in a pleasing manner. However, it has nothing covering it. I thought it used to have something. I could be mistaken, or my other thought was that it had gone missing at a car show when I left my van open so folk could look inside whilst I was off browsing elsewhere.

    I think it's just a plastic, coloured cover. Has anyone got an un wanted one for sale please?

    Thanks :)

    I think that's what it is! It's a bit intermittent but seems to vaguely correspond with the handbrake :)
    Maybe it's cos mine is a fancy dan US bus? :)

    I've got one in mine. Quite rare and V expensive i think. if you can get one.

    I think the light also comes on if you have a brake issue so it's not just a handbrake on 'warning'

  7. I seem to remember that there are 2 different types but can't recollect the differences. It may be that one type you had to press it to test it.

    Last time I saw any for sale they were about £20 each for the bulb 'bit' and cover but that's a while ago now

  8. The light is a dual circuit brake warning light and on later buses it doubles up as the handbrake warning light too. As far as i can tell you need the correct one fitted and they are somewhat more complex than they would at first appear.. ive heard of ones you press before but not come across one. Just yet a red lens or something to fit over it.
     
  9. Blanking plug is cheaper for the dash so I got rid :)

    Cheers, had the brakes checked this week after handbrake problem. Spookily in time honoured fashion, if I leave my vehicles long enough they seem to self cure. :)

    That or I'm deluded!!

  17. I will contacted the guy in the link on the samba. It's busok.nl. he will ship to the UK but I think if we bought a few it will make shipping overall cheaper. 6 euors not recorded, 12 euros recorded, he said he will combine shipping. I want one as mine is not red it's gone clear.

    Should I start a new thread to gauge interest?

  18. I've bought quite a bit from BUSOK.

    Their service has been very good, as has the quality of the parts, only marred by the high shipping costs which I think is due to the Dutch Postal system

    He also has other parts that have been NLA made again so it might be worthwhile checking the website for any small bits which you'd like but can't get hold of as they might end up effectively be shipped for nothing, that's what I did.
