126 BIS failed MOT but only just! Need a little help.
« on: August 09, 2010, 10:53:00 AM »
Morning,
Finally pulled my finger out and got my car to the test station. It failed on a tyre, horn, seat belt loose and rusty headlight. I need help in getting a headlight. What company is best to use? Also the horn button on the steering wheel is missing the return spring and contact??? Does any one have the horn button assembly or know where to get them. If anyone has a headlight and horn they want to sell or swop for a carb and nearly new fuel pump let me know.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I will post it in the wanted section just in case.
Thanks
Rob

If the BIS has the same type of seatbelt as the old aircooleds then it's the type that you have to adjust manually....  ???

126fan.sk has left hand drive headlamps. One needs to remove the old headlamp lenses and put them on the left hand drive ones.

Petrol does the trick, let it work a bit and the lenses pop strait off...apparently :oops:

the rear seat belts on a BIS, you have to adjust your self but the front ones are the new type what are automatic

How are you going to get the Queen to remove the headlamp lenses </8
