Please read on if you have access to a RHD W461 chassis number.  

I've taken delivery of a 1992 BW 250 GD Wolf and want to change the headlamp units prior to going for its first MOT test.  I have a problem because the EPC only lists one part number for the beam unit - A 000 826 96 99 and I'm assuming that this is for LHD traffic.

The headlamp unit has levelling, so i can't simply go out and buy a 7" RHD unit and do a swap.  Has anyone got access to a part number for a beam unit for a W461?  If you have a RHD W461 and are willing to PM me the chassis number I can look up the part on the EPC.

Thank you.

Rick.

headlamp's from a Mk 1 or Mk 2 Golf will fit but aren't leveling

Re: Need RHD headlamps for a 250GD Wolf

Thanks for the replies: useful reserve headlamps.

I had a 280GES over 20 years ago, which is so long ago I can't remember whether it had levelling headlights or not.  Can anyone confirm whether RHD W461' from the early 90' had levelling headlights or not?  If I can get them I would like to keep that function.

Rick.

Driving a green lane in the Wolf earlier

Registered.  I've driven 170km so far.  Took the dog for a run on a green lane close to home earlier today - photos attached.

Is that the old Roman road that goes by the shooting range near Ashton?

That's a great looking G. 

Could you tell me where you got the front seat covers or did they come with it.
