55bloke Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Anybody know where there's a driver's side headlight for an '89 Fiat Ducato Mk 1? Got a friend with a motorhome based on one of these, and he can't find a light at sensible money anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shite_meister Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Right I work in a commercial vehicle garage that has the Fiat commercial vehicle dealership, we had exactly the same issue recently and the only place I could find headlamps for these were ebay. Hows this?: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/talbot-express-fi ... 4148481765 Just be aware that although that the Pug J5/Citroen C25/Talbot Express lamps are the same there was a facelift in about 1991 or so.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 anything where camper vans is involved seems to cost a fortune, so £90 for a new headlamp shouldnt be too painful. When you go in some of those caravan shops, they will happily charge £10 for a spare bulb or £40 for a calor gas bottle regulator that can be bought in your local hardward shop for a fiver. I'm making this up like but they do charge the earth for stuff. £100 for a tea towel etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXrescuer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Didn't the Talbot Express use the same parts as the Ducato? Mind you, it's probably even harder to get parts for the Express. EDIT: Are these any good? I suspect they are a bit too rounded. Though £60 for the pair, post free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Those do look a different shape to the one in the e-bay link above. What are they for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though £60 for the pair, post free.Yes hence why I wrote that! those lamps you've put are def not the right lamps, I'm wondering if they're Citroen 2CV Van lamps which were a similar shape to what you have there.The early Ducato/Relay/Express/J5 used quite a square lamp untill about 1991 or thereabouts when they changed to a rectangular lamp.
