Thanks Chris. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to try auctioning the car on eBay starting at £2,500. Before I do, anyone here interested at that price?

Oh dear. That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the honesty though.

BTW, the car originally had black interior. Seats were replaced by a previous owner due to v poor condition. I did intend at some stage to either replace with black or re-colour the existing which I understand is a feasible DIY undertaking.

So gentlemen (and ladies); 107 views and not a single nibble. Is it the price? The colour? Lack of current MOT? What do I need to do to sell this car? All feedback positive or otherwise very welcome>

Reluctantly letting this rolling restoration project go. Car is tax and MOT exempt, and just about to celebrate its 50th birthday. There’s still plenty of interesting stuff to do, as follows: Needs a professional respray. Paintwork generally poor. Panels sprayed using aerosol cans from...

I’m thinking of letting the car go to a new home. Not sure I can afford to finish the project. Any advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Done so far: Base unit and bulkhead repaired by Colin Gould in Q4 2017. Work documented here. De Dion tube, elbows, and rear springs...

Or are they the wrong pads maybe?

Local garage pointed out to me that my front pads protrude from the discs, suggesting that someone (I don't remember doing it) has fitted the wrong size disc possibly off a 2000 at some point. Is this possible?

Creative solution. If it fails again I’ll give that a try. Thanks

So here's how it (eventually) went. Disconnected battery and undid screws holding fuse box to bulkhead. Checked link between 1 and 2 behind fusebox and couldn't see anything wrong, although not exactly sure what I was looking for. Used a bit of wire to connect the top of 1 and 2 together and...

Just checked the wiring diagram again and the supply to fuse 2 is linked to the supply to fuse 1 which serves the horn, clock etc, all of which are working fine, so I’m suspecting that whatever links the two has failed somehow. Going to be brave and try removing the fuse box tomorrow. To avoid...

Unfortunately, that's what I thought too. So I suppose I'll have to start by removing the fuse box - is it a risky undertaking?

I’ve tried pumping the switch to no avail. Fuse number 2 on my car feeds only the hazard warning lights and does not run through the ignition switch so i thought it should be permanently live

Any ideas please? Hazard warning lights not working. Bought new relay from Wins. Still not working. Indicators work fine (another new relay), but if I pull the hazard switch the indicators stop working The blue/brown wire from the fuse box appears to be dead Both sides of the number 2 fuse...
