*UPDATE*
Still waiting to get the beast on the road!!
Getting a bit fed up due to a faulty steering column switch.
She only failed the MOT on tyres, emissions (she has been sat for 18 years after all) and dodgy lights (indicators come on with sidelights, headlights flash etc.)
I thought this was a bad earth somewhere, but apparently not. After hours of searching through spaghetti, I got an auto electrician to check it out who confirmed it to be the steering column switch.
Ordered a replacement from Axel Gerstl which took a week to arrive (due to weather in Germany). It turned out to have the wrong connectors. Needed a switch ASAP as the re-test was due in 2 days so had to order another from Ricambio (£58!!). This arrived the next day and had the correct connectors but the wires were in a different order so the indicators and lights came on when you flicked the wiper arm!
Now I've missed the 10 day re-test deadline so will have to pay for another MOT.
Axel Gerstl has agreed to exchange the switch for the correct one if he has it in stock (finger's crossed).
Really frustrating as I'm itching to get her out on the road.
On the bright side, this has bought me a bit of time to give her a whack with the lowering stick!
I'll post some photos when She's done.
