while were on the subject, is there an universal stick-it-on glass heater kit, it would be cool to have it... just in case...

the way your going you will need to beef up your charging system as you keep adding electric gadgets! i find the best way to heat up my car is hot breath i cant rub my hands together not cos im driving but are still frozen fromm deicing the interior. lol
 on a serious note you can buy little electric heaters if you really want some sort of comfort.

ho ho, but this is just the beginning, next stop electrical windows (with automatic closing when locked via central remote) a few more speakers, xenon kit... but when you think of it, itll end up the same as now cos the xenons use a lot less power than regular h4s... did i mention 2 heated seats with massage option  :P

.... sorry about all this off topic...  :oops: :oops:

 **- Rule One - Start engine first then you can play with your electrical gizmos. Have got a spare rear screen if you still need one.  [-/

 ^8) Hi Darrell , I would be happy with £15 if I can dig out a good one. I am down to a choice of two as the one I dug out yesterday is damaged at the electrical conection. Never tested one of these before outside of a car . I assume that if I leave one out over night to get some nice frost on it then whack 12 volts through it that should be a good test. will keep you informed. What is that trailer thing about, you are not doing one of those "half a 126" jobs are you ?

Geat stuff rusty!

I tested my circuit and get 12V...well fairly close to 12V from the wire to the window.
My windows heater has gone with the sun.

No the trailer thing is a project tp build a multi purpose trailer.
I sail a little laser dinghy and need to get a trailer. thought I could recycle the 126 wheels I took off my air cooler. I put big fat alloys on :D

As I have modified my wheel arches there is no going back.

 :rant: Dug out the second rear window and put a 12volt battery on it but could not detect any action which was a blow. So the last chance is the one that is fitted to a body shell that has been sitting in my garage for about 10 years. Will let you know  [-/
