Hi. i'm at the point of getting my Mk 5 road legal and have been told that she doesn't need to have a MOT as she's had no 'substantial modifications' in the last 30 years or so.

One more problem solved,...Lots more ...

Hi Dave,

That's great news.

Hi Dave, I'm only guessing about the number of speeds,but the wiring you describe sounds about right. There are orange,brown and white cables coming from the motor itself and green and lilac/black from the park switch area.
