Subject: Newbie - sort of - and e-code lights (longish)

Hi Guys - and gals !
My name is Calle Fallberg, I live in Mullhyttan in the southern part of
Sweden, has been a member of this community a couple of years ago and is
happy to be back again even though I�d forgotten about the amount of mails a
day I recived from Vanagon listees !!
I have a 1988 Vanagon - or Transporter as they are named here - the simpler
variety with cardboard inner walls but still eigth seats !
A couple of years ago I shot the wbx and replaced it with a Volvo I4 engine
out of a 245(estate). It turned out ok and I remade the interior in order to
get a campingcar, using ideas from the Reimo vans.
Myself and my dog (a Belgian Shepherd Dog -Tervueren) really enjoyed the van
until the clutch gave in then I felt a bit fed up and parked it next to the
garage....
But now it�s going to be fixed, I�ve located the fault to the slave clutch
cylinder and ordered a rebuild kit.

Back to the lightning bit, earlier there was a scedule available at the
website of a guy or company called Daniel Stern or Stern lightning which
included some relays and heavy gauge wire, I tried it and it�s just perfect
even when using E-codes..
I also use the rounded lights which pumps out much more light than the
square ones

If this has already been talked about in the string, I apologize, has just
signed up

Regards
Calle
