Christ! Hopefully you and the occupants are ok though fella?

Well, it could work. A reason for failure is a speedo needle not moving though apparently. But if it has a digital display, then it should pass. It would get it through the MOT for now, but it'd be nice to have a working fuel and temp gauge. 😂

I also set about a few other jobs. New vents installed. The demister T7 unit pipes will run to these, and should do a good job of clearing the screen. Also got some HG Sticker Remover. Awesome stuff, and smells lovely! Definitely use in a well ventilated area though... Quick cut out for...

So time for another quick update on the car... @Daz... came by Wednesday so I could check out his steering wheel, and put a face to a name. Was nice to meet you buddy! Shortly after, @Steven103 came over to relinquish his boredom and continue to try and figure out my electrical issues. He set...

Swapped f2 fuse (15amp). Nadda Checked the resistance on the original and it was working correctly

I've no trust run a resistor with the particular fuses but a visual check and they look ok. That said, the instruments all work correctly when a dash test is performed so I would have thought if a fuse had gone, then it wouldn't work.

Spare clocks have been tried and they do the same. Work on the dash test, but not on ignition or engine firing up. Tried the spare uch in a friends car and his clocks still perform as normal!?

Well, I took it off the other day. Couldn't see any tell-tale scorching. Have got some spares now to try the uch, ecu and keys. See if any of them match.

So have tried another set of clocks and another set of lights. Still the issues remain.

Couple more jobs this evening. I was trying to think of a way of securing the clocks to the top dash without making them difficult to remove (and not using cable ties). I purchased some fancy bolts and washers from CSF last year, so have used some for the headlights, and 2 for the clock...

Oh snap son! At least mine has wheels on!

Wanna buy a tent? Do you good price. Asda price!

At least yours is road legal. I've not even MOT'd mine yet!

Cheers dude. I posted this and then saw the OMP Racing GP wheel that caught my interest. Yours looks tidy, and is a 300mm as well (the GP one is 330mm). Be interested to have a look for sure. Would be good to put a face to a name too.

So I already have a Sparco dished wheel, and I believe an OMP boss. However, with my B&G quick release fitted, the wheel is a tad close to the gut. Long term solution = lose some weight. Short term = a flat wheel, and maybe a shallow boss? Any recommendations on something that won't break the...

Well I can feel which relay clicks when the sidelights and low beam are activated, but couldn't when the high beam was on. So I tried swapping the working sidelight relay with the other positions, and it didn't seem to make a difference. I can't find a record anywhere of an actual relay for...

He's going to see when he's free. I'm desperate to get it done this week though. Anyone know where the relays for the horn and main beam are?

@HMS Derv Destroyer No signs of scorching that I can see.

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...
