I’m now back in the UK and have had anther go. I bought a new battery and after a bit of fiddling with the leads on the underbonnet post and an earth I finally heard the click that said everything was back to normal. It took a few applications but the lock started working manually again. Thanks to e...

Thank you for your responses and suggestions. I’m 100% happy that the problem has nothing to do with rust or build up of dirt. The boot lock has been regularly exercised and always worked smoothly. No issue in using the same key for nearly 20 years either. My thinking is to take a battery and connec...

Hi, I've looked but can't find this problem on the forum. Apologies if I've missed it and am repeating here. My car (1988 convertible) has been left standing for some time due to issues beyond my control. This has resulted in a dead battery; no instrument or ignition lights. Central locking is not w...

Hi, my experience, though with a 1988 convertible was similar. Occasional wet feet with no obvious cause. Cleared the AC and checked the windscreen wiper motor void and pipes. Wet feet sometimes with and without the rain. Final cure came when I had the screen replaced because of a crack. The sealant...

thanks again Almci.

I made it simple and shorted the 56b with the live feed. Lights came on so I got another relay; job done. I might take a look inside the relay I took off and see if it can be salvaged.

All the best Pat

thanks. it's 88. Fuses are ok so headlamp switch or relay. I will be taking a look this morning.

Hi all. i'm hoping someone might give me a quick answer to my problem. Headlamps don't switch on, however I can use the stalk to flash main beam with the ignition on or off; have to hold the stalk towards me to keep the main beam working. i'm guessing it will be the headlamp relay but also, can anyo...

Hi I have fitted 16 x 8 latice, pictures are on the gallery, page 109 or thereabouts. can't point you any better than that because I haven't tried to make a link before. Image wheels are a UK manufacturer you might want to look at. I spoke to them about a year ago when I was undecided about wheel st...

I to have thought about a deflector in the past (three in the morning on the M3) and never got around to it. But I just had an idea :shock: I'm wondering how difficult it would be to re-route the defunct rear heater outlets, through the seat backs, and out at the headrests. If anyone has done this a...

Mike My understanding of it is that if you multiply the 1000 x 750 pixels required for upload to the gallery you have a total of 750000 pixels, about 3/4 of a megapixel by your camera's definition. By editing your photos you increase the file size because each edit or modification adds to the file s...

AHA........Did a right click and copy image instead of the copy link and it worked
