Well, one of my previous experiences was someone breaking the rear window of my '71 MGBGT. I then found that there were none available in the southern hemisphere, and it took 4 months for the insurance to source one. At least this issue has been dealt to in days and weeks. My road is clearly on...

:-). I have had some voltage-related ideas, I must confess. Its not the first issue I've had over the years on the rare occasion I have to park on the road.

Perfect gentlemen. Thank you so much. Its now a risk of a temporary fix that never gets removed despite the "right" parts arriving in due course :-) I can at least get it running again and off to the panel beater.

Hi folks, Courtesy of a local low life who decided to steal the petrol from my 89 RR, and take the drain plug too, I am trying to find a quick solution. Being in New Zealand, parts supply is average, so I've ordered parts from the UK. But, this could be two or three weeks away. Can anyone help...
