Sounds like shitty connection have you taken that connector of at the back and cleaned

No but fuse 5 only has 2V at it so possibly accessory relay but don't know what way it should be wired

[A Van]

Mmmmm ok do your headlights work?

[Admin-bloke]

I think the earth points all go to a crappy stud to the right of the stereo with it removed.
All earths ring terminals and the nut goes loose.

Do other circuits from the accessory relay work?

[bozzzydmc]

Yes that is where they all terminate ... what a great feat of engineering it is to site them there

One lttle nut comes loose and a whole raft of problems occurs ...

Just like the battery dash bulb

[KMC-DMC]

Ahh yes, the genius that is DMC electrics. I relocated the console ground point to up near the vent so its easier to access.

[mnickels]

Dash now working, although windscreen wipers on constant and power supply to "trunk" light is a short circuit.

A lot of work to do but hopefully having the next 2 weekends practically football free as well as easter, may day and royal wedding will get a lot of gremlins sorted and an MOT can be booked.

If anyone can help me with headlights it would be much appreciated. My local places don't do hella or valeo. I will Paypal ££ if anyone can help. Martin provided my last ones but standards instead of Halo will do.

Otherwise a fair bit of rebuilding to do in the interior as well as window motors not working...

Cheers Arran, will give him a call. When is the best time to get him?

Spent today sorting out the electrical gremlins. Still some to sort but started cleaning up the interior, put a temporary cover on the drivers seat and got my Craig radio pumping out the tunes. Drivers side carpets removed and cleaned as best as possible. I also fed the leather that is still usable to make it look a bit healthier. I am missing the carpet that goes behind the seats if anyone know where I can get this part only.

Is there a trick to getting the rubber that goes around the vents on correctly? They are out of shape as they were not fitted correctly when I removed them.

Off out for a well earned meal now and may head out to the garage again after.

No idea on times - he usually answers I think:

Nice one mat, sounds good. Is the tub fully bolted down now? Any pics?
