Hi Rod, thanks for reaching out. I’m so glad you’ve saved her and I’m hoping she can live on. I don’t have much left now that can help except some pictures when she was in my ownership. I would be great to keep in touch.

Casually shifting through FB marketplace and to my surprise spotted my old 411LE Variant - JPC 411K. I got her in 2011 and put her back on the road to be enjoyed again. I hoped that she’d continue to live on but seeing her in this state is really tough. I hope someone can save her. If I didn’t alrea...

saw that on the show, looking forward to the 70s episode! shawn, the variant you mention is it blue? reg jpc 411k?

hi,

i got insured with adrian flux (flux direct), i'm 20 and i have been driving a '71 beetle and 411le variant for 2 and half years now. they gave me a great price for someone our age and it has got considerably cheaper every year!

its worth giving them a shot

well as i say i tried a beetle one and it was completely different in fitting, the piece i've got seems to be a specially made one. so maybe ebay and maplins are the way to go!

thanks for the help guys

yeah that's right Shawn, its a switch for a light under the hood. so when you've got side or dipped beams on it comes on when the hoods open. basically the piece of plastic has snapped (if you have a look at my first post, its in the last picture, you should see it).

cheers

Hi Everyone, As were drawing into winter now it thought it might be a good idea to try out the eberspacher heater in my 411 and hopefully be nice and toastie come the cold mornings! i've been following the basic instructions in the vw manual to operate it the unit but however, i don't seem to get an...

Many Thanks Guys! Great to be a part of the club!

Hi All, Let me introduce myself I'm Jack, from Portsmouth and I'am the rather proud owner of my '71 411LE Variant (Reg: JPC 411K).
