Looks a bit more expensive in general than Gunzl though...

Replacement fridge electronics:

Frigoboat E254412

Requires spade connectors fitting to wires and new mounting points for the box, but other than that is a straight swap for the Danfoss unit.

Calibusje told me about these guys. Lots of useful parts for Westies. In Dutch, but fairly easy to work out, or run it through Google translate.

The pop top latches are actually the bonnet catch from a mk1 Golf!

Yep. Available from VW Heritage should you ever break one...

Those led replacement lights in the shop (link above) are quite sexy, and quite expensive for a full set! Nice to keep the original look.

Koen (Calibusje) had one in his van. It looks oem and works very well, much brighter light with just over 1/3 of the power consumption of the original.

Recently ordered some small parts from them (seat spring, spare seats locking pin), unlisted on site but they responded quickly to email. Bank transfer only so check your bank fees for IBAN and factor into costs.

 

[t4_generation]

Is your seat latch playing up? Have a look to see the small spring on the hinge catches are still in-situ.

If not, the Westfalia part number is 253070239A and you can get them for a few Euros at Gunzl or poptopshop.nl

Great work.

I "hacked" my car as I were in a hurry before leaving for holiday.
Ordered an "230V C14 to Schuko" adapter.
Plugged it between the C13-plug that normally is fitted in the original carger, and connected it to a standard charger from CTEK, and connected it to the battery.

Worked perfectly through the vacation. The 230V plug inside the car also worked (as it obviously does not need the charger to work).

Have now gotten the original charger fixed for the aprox. cost of half a pound in replacement parts (a capacitor or condensator that had dried out - not my field of knowledge). A kind family member replaced the part for me.
Have not fitted it in the car yet - but have tested it without load, and it seems promising.
