Bluehaze you are both a gentleman and a scholar, but don't worry I founded it hiding in one of my many boxes of miscellaneous bits

Picked up reversing light, fog light and new bonnet cable today after I snapped the old one and it made me bleed

Got the bumper out from behind the shed and gave it a clean
Coat of primer
Strapped the battery down
New horn and bonnet cable fitted
Cleaned and painted all the dash bits and got them fitted
We got all the back lights fitted and tested , a few wiring issues but ok now
Nice shiny bumper and grille fitted
Found that the wiper switch is buggered and there's no fluid in the power steering, apart from that we're going for the mot next Saturday

Finished waxoyling the chassis, and got it every where
Fitted new wiper switch and cleaned up the casing
Found out that you need an interior light to pass the mot( I did not know this)
Oh well, something to do tomorrow night

Since when? My MOT was about 6 months ago - I have no interior light, but I do have a military map reading light.

yep me to but the MOT man told me that counts, even though i cant reach it from the drivers side lol
I think the item is :
* Door open warning lights (where fitted) to fail if not working
Which mine passed fine on, even though its got the sensors in the door plus a cable (which is spun round the rear view mirror at the moment
)I think personally that is a stupid rule, surely air gushing in through the door is warning enough you've left the door open.....

Well, I suppose it is an interior light!
BTW Billy, I think the silver looks great. Where did you get those cans for £1?
