I bought a casa switch it was just as crap as a cheapo one, it had no wire for the horn. Like being in the 80’s when everything was made out of cream cheese. I also bought a bulb holder which had connections made out of cheese. My handle bar rods are MB they are machined down in the middle for more room for cables. I always drill rivets out off break switches and replace with screws and nuts.
My Casa Lambretta light switch lasted like 3 months. Replaced with a Scootopia switch, that actually clicks when you use the dip switch. Oh, and there you have, too. :)
I bought a Casa series 3 LI switch and like you I thought I was buying the best, however mine came with the added feature of the horn sounding when I tightened the screws. Quality item.
Argh!! I felt it when that headlight shattered. Will hopefully be elbow deep in similar pain this weekend rewiring my Serveta. I will pay extra attention to the light switch installation (from Casa of course)
After all that "Faffin about" replacing the switch and watching your Headlight fall onto the floor, I really felt for you Rob. So bloody annoying 😡. Deep breath mate
Rob, would you happen to know if series 3 Lambretta leg shields are shorter for chrome ring frames? I have 67 SX 150 which has a gap above horncasting but is snug on legshield side. Lower headset I think is chrome ring type the but frame none chrome ring and not sure which is wrong bit
I had a switch fail after a year so I now use a relay to take the load off the switch. You shouldn’t have to and the relay is something else to go wrong but automotive ones are very reliable . Of course as ever space is the problem , I have a very slim ( made for the never produced SX twin) leg shield tool box and it’s only function is to house my battery, relays for lights, spots and air horn along with warning lights and power outlets. It’s Sod’s Law that what should have been an unnecessary repair leads to accidental damage to your light. Come on Casa, do the right thing and send the bloke a new light.
It happens to all of us that’s why I watch just raw did laugh though,not to sound knobby why not just solder the existing switch cables to the new next time?
I’ve been pricking about with some DC wiring on a gp so watching you grapple with this is in some way therapeutic.

I wish that I knew more about my consumer rights years ago when I bought so much crap stuff for my BSA motorcycles.

Balancing the loose light on the front mudguard was never going to end well. 😂

same problems with switches and bulb holders for old Vespas too , total crap !
and Australian friends... 🇦🇺 $$$$$$$...
Butter fingers 😢
I have a new casa Lambretta Series 2 headlight. You could use just the glas and reflector. I don’t need it.
All fixed!
Feel for you Rob. Think we have all been there! Bet your jam sandwich landed face down that morning!😄
Unlucky Rob thanks for the discriptive video as always
Bugger! Happens mate, looking forward to your next video
Oooops
👌
Shit happens. Give your granddaughter a hug and forget it ❤
Scootopia do a good headlight for the series 1, cheaper than Casa and it will fit
Thanks. I might give one a try

I feel your pain, mate 😢. So frustrating when things break due to other faulty stuff.
Oops!
You need someone to open up a scooter shop locally. Hope to see some of your ride out Rob. All the best.
A scooter shop wouldn't do well in Norway with 20 potential customers 😂
@@kickbackgarage could you not all join forces then and buy things as one order and save postage
@@ipaddy Norway from south to north is further away than my place to Rome.. It just is not doable
😢😢😢 Fingers crossed for a better hole pattern on the new headlight then? 🤞
I just bought glass. Sent ekspress på onsdag, kom i dag! 9. Mai er reddet!
Butter fingers 😢
Ouch! Maybe next time coffee would be better😬. We've all been there with the poor quality parts too 😄
