24volt bulb

Aug 03, 2005 14 Replies

My Dad has one of these electric buggies for zooming around mowing down innocent pedestrians.



The 'headlight' bulb has gone on it. It is 24v (forget the wattage off hand). The buggy supplier say H**fords sell 'em....but of course they don't.



Unfortunately it is also jammed in its socket, so it crumbled away when I tried to extract it.



However it would appear to be one of these bulbs that is all glass, with no metal cap, and two bare wires folded up each side of the base, so it is a push fit into its socket.



Does anyone know where I might buy a replacement ? (I live in Sutton - Sth London)



Many thanks

Yes I will go back to them if I have to.

My Dad rang them and got the H**fords answer. He pointed out that the machine was delivered with a blown bulb. You would of thought that having just spent £3,000+ with them they would have said "No problem, Sir, we'll put a couple in the post to you." But no, it would seem they have his three grand so are no longer bothered.

So I don't feel inclined to deal with them. If I remember their name I shall advertise them on hear for everyone to know about! However I may go back as a last resort.

CPC do a range of 12 and 24v auto bulbs with pictures in the catalogue to help the choice.

Thanks. Checked up on the correct wattage but CPC don't do it.

Guess I shall have to ring 'RoadKnight' tomorrow. :0(

Lorries are 24V. Sounds like your standard blade fitting 5W instrument panel bulb.

The message from Conor contains these words:

The local Ford dealer will often have plenty of 24V blubs if they do trucks.

THey won't. Fords HGV arm is Iveco. UNless it's an Iveco dealership they won't. 7.5 tonners run off 12V.

The message from Conor contains these words:

Ah. Dagenham Motors in Hayes used to have all sorts of big trucks lying around, I'm sure many of which were over 7.5 tonnes.

been in there a number of times brother almost always for a hazard light switch

The message from " dojj" contains these words:

Ah, the joy of Frods. Mind you - I had the same happen on several Corsas.

the only other thing that went wrong in the 15 months i was driving it was that the horn stopped working it may have been due to me useing it to clout a lump of post in the ground but other than that, nothing else to complain about, even the alternator was fixed under warranty :)

Look in your yellow pages for a Motor Factors or Autospares Service or Auto Electricains. You will get what you want from them. It would help if you could say waht make and model of scooter your Dad has. If all else fails, try this :- Clarke & Partners, Shefffield. 0114 273 8787 or 0114 231 5566 or 0114 229 3350 they have changed their numbers and premises since I last spoke to them. Ask for scooter stores
