Do you have a spare ABS dashboard warning light? The version before airbags were fitted. My 1994 MK3 GTI has failed its MOT because the bulb has blown and I can’t find a replacement.

All the second hand ones are ABS and airbag so no good for me. Do you have a spare one knocking about or know anyone who can refurbish, like solder a new bulb in or something?

Thanks for any help!

What's the issue? Stick multimeter on it, see what voltage is being supplied to the warning light....
Hot glue and solder in LED with appropriate pull down resistor and job's a good un.

Thanks for the tip! Outside of my skill sets. But I’m sure I can find someone who can do it for me. Cheers.
