I also need a replacement interior roof light as the plastic holder around the lead on my has disintegrated an so far epoxy replenishing it has failed.
thanks

David,

With the items that you're now discovering that need replacing, why not give Andy Harvey of JustXJS a ring. He might be able to sort all of them for you including the heel pad?

Good luck

Mine did the same some years back; I found a replacement, but while I fitted it, I swapped the incandescent bulb with an LED equivalent, so the plastic doesn't get cooked any more. You have to avoid the ones which still draw the same current, of course - they're designed to fool blown-bulb sensing circuits, which isn't needed for the interior light; they dissipate the same heat as the old bulb.
