John has been working on our 1979 Volkswagen Type 2 Moonraker. Here are his notes:

Replacing screw in sliding door handle and refitting handle. Looking at why sink pump not working. Water pump melted. Check wiring all looks okay order new pump. Look into passenger rear lights not working. Remove lens and check bulbs and connections, no earth connection on light unit. Clean all terminals and make a good earth on the chassis. Refit lamp check all lights.

Running issues. Check points setting. No visible gap. Replace points and condenser and rotor as showing signs of burnt connections clean plugs. Replace auxiliary belt as frayed and fit caps on the leads on the distributor to insulatate them.

New pump arrived. Check operation of tap switch working as it should. Rewire switch and pump adding connections for easy removal. Re route wiring so out of way test pump

Pedal pulled through floor. Make plate to support throttle pedal. Plate above and below floor and bolt pedal to plate
