My '91 16v has one, but I couldn't tell you if a previous owner aquired it or if it came with the car when new.

I replaced my broken one with one of these. It broke 3 months later and the light stopped working aswell. Still a good item though to maybe "keep for best" . A nice touch perhaps when selling on. :smiley:

You should have kept the specific details to yourself then, and not, on a MK2 golf forum where the target audience is, linked to the actual item!  :wink: :grin:

ive seen a few on ebay recently and they all go for mental amounts! surely some Chinese company could make these as a pattern part? then charge £10 for each one.

As i am to understand, no one has any money these days but for some reason some people still have surplus cash to waste. Good luck to 'em! I hope it goes for a ton. :smiley:
