Pretty silver wheels fitted!

The wheels for with Guy's SD1 nuts. The tyres are much much thinner than the old dodgy one that are on aft moment. Now to see how much Guy wants for the nuts!

Reverse Lights & Speedo Cable i

On 20th July, the Tamed Electrician and I had a go at fixing the reversing lights and the shafted speedo. The speedo hasn't worked properly since April when it was taxed. It was found that the cable had buggered. At one end is a lump of metal that fits into the gearbox. It was still in the gearbox but it couldn't be guaranteed that the cable was pushed in properly. The problem was the plastic plug that fits into the speedo housing, This was cracked and taped up badly. New cable required.

The reverse lights used to flick on and off between first and second gear. They eventually stayed on at ll times. I temporarily fixed it by unplugging the bulbs at the back! It was a the reverse switch. It would appear that I tightened it too tightly all those months ago. The 12 volts to the switch had also disappeared for some reason  so Lionel found some more electric in another wire. Another switch required.

Bugger

A bloody tear! And some of the hood studs have fallen off again!


How do I fix this then? Black tape? Sewing kit?

Misfiring

It is. Again. I haven't done anything to it. Will this car ever work properly?
