Will take a butchers. Bit strange that the dash test works ok, but when the ignition is on, none of the clocks work?

So had a small accident with a socket extension bar hitting my battery terminal(s) the other night and it caused all sorts of problems. However, I'm now down to having no working main (high) beam, horn, or clocks. Main beam: no click at the stalk and no blue light on the dash. Clocks...

So more playing today. Wheels are on, and some minor adjustment to get the tracking good enough to get to the mot garage (when it's done). Cat as it stands... Still have an issue with no main beam and horn. Bleed coolant, get bumper on, fit door pulls, harness and some silicone on the...

So at end of play tonight, electrical problems are as follows... No high beam No brake lights No working front wipers No needle movement on dash (I.e. When revving) No horn Done a dash test (pressing end of stalk and turning on ignition. Lights ondash come on, and all needles move during test...

So still scratching my head over the electrical gremlins. Down to no high beam, no brake lights and no front wipers (don't have a rear one), and no horn. I managed to get on with some other jobs in the meantime. The inside actually looks like a car now. Engine bay is just about done...

Well. What started off as a really good day, has gone right down the shitter.... Made good progress with more jobs on the car: Protective wrap on the rollcage applied, dash mounts added. EPAS switch put in position on dash. Exhaust mount fitted. Grip tape applied to drivers footwell Seat is...

Haha! Worst case is a new headlight. I've tried the other headlight in its place and that works, so I know the loom/ connector from the loom is fine.

Action shot courtesy of little brosef. Damn it looks good.

Thankfully managed to find the issue with the drivers headlight. The connector in the headlight wasn't pushed forward enough to make contact with the plug. Now that's sorted, the headlight now fully works. Woohoo! However, the sidelight on the passenger side still doesn't work. I'm guessing...

Some more good progress today. @optical came over and gave me a hand. First we got on to bleeding brakes. Thankfully gus had an easy-bleed kit, and after some initial pumping of the brake by me, and twisting nipples by gus (ohh err missus), we got the old stuff out of the system. After the...

More primer done and the lacquer is on. Will run it like this as at present I quite like it. However if I don't, I can always redo it later. Also Alex and Sash popped by yesterday so that Alex could finish the remaining electrical jobs. We got it fired up too which was awesome! I fitted the...

But, don't bears have brilliant senses of smell?!

Bright green fwend!

Pretty sure a budget version of AC delete has been done on this forum. Do a search and you might find it. I started off with a cheap 172 to track. It didn't stay cheap for long. 😂

Might actually meet at last. Ya weirdo.

Having only bought a One S in November, I was a bit gutted to see this will be out this year, and my One S will be outdated already. Only saw the first hour of the reveal. From what I've seen though, the rest of the games weren't spectacular though?

Just spotted you on the bowling green roundabout.

Which brackets? To be honest I'm not going to be chasing ounces of weight when I'm built like the stay puff marshmallow man.

So @Steven103 popped over today, and I had wanted to get the exhaust on and the remaining drop link for the RARB. However, I found that I didn't have the gasket for the cat to centre, so that will need ordering. We than thought, lets crack on with some painting! So a spot of hoovering...

When dude? We're on now and need a 6th man!
