Hi All
I'm sure glad the list is back, the day it went down my Vanagon refused
to start for the first time ever.
I'm stuck in a public parking lot which a tow-truck cannot get in.

When I turn the key, the lights dim but no starter action. There is a
click to be heard at the back. The battery is good - it was recharged
recently.

I have a new ignition switch and starter motor arriving shortly (took 2
weeks from Bus Depot!). My question, which is likely to be the culprit?
If its the starter motor, is it fairly easily replaced? The Haynes and
Bentley give different instructions. I'm not the world's greatest
mechanic, but I have changed starter motors before but not in a VW.
Any tips much appreciated.
