jrisch Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 My '92 Fiat Ducato based motorhome has just failed its MOT due to corroded headlamp reflectors. Apparently, new Fiat ones are £125 each. Has anyone any suggestions for sourcing either pattern parts or secondhand ones. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrisch Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Thanks, guys, for your quick responses. The items recommended are unfortunately for 1994 on models and I need aa 1992 pair. However I have found that the Talbot Express and Citroen C25 are near identical models and the parts from those should fit so I'm taking a punt on those.

For goodness sake, just had a quick search and do not come in cheap. Cheapest I can see is around 90 each. ..second hand 99.99 + 10del on ebay for a pair....second hand!!!!! :-( . Hope you manage to find cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrisch Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks again, guys. I considered those once I realised Talbot Express ones would do. However there were new ones at £70 each on eBay which I've bought instead. Still a lot better than the £125+VAT each which my motorhome repairer was quoted. Ypur help was much appreciated.

Seems to be a good price, well not good as rediculously expensive really but very good for what is available but probaly due to manuctured now in low volumes and retooling was required. I agree with getting new ones as light output will be much higher than with second hand ones and you will notice a massive diference driving in the dark, also make the van look a lot nicer...smart clean headlights can transform the appearance.
