So decided to trace the loom and found about 8 inches away the loom covering changed to a wrap rather than...

    Alternator connections

    So. I'll order that in clean the mess up all at once. Final question, does the fuse box need two feeds. Eg whilst I am there it's not going to be much more work adding a cable in. Especially if there is a spare pin on tbe plug. I've got nothing that needs it from a load point of view. Just...

    Windows dropping

    Hi. It's a 1986. 90. Door card removal not a problem, they've been off several times before. I just didn't want to start poking at the mechanism with out knowing what I was doing. The handle position does not make any difference. It is bound to be a simple fix.

    Windows dropping

    Dashboard indicator Tell tail not working post LED conversion

    So check the earth, even ran a new cable as a temp measure to a solid part of the car, still no joy with indicators or the hazards, My original theory and advice was to refit one old bulb, due to the reason mystery just posted, so will give that a go and let you know how i get on.
