Got a 2 tonne trolley jack and 3 tonne stands not being used at the moment further down the Ebbw Valley, parts wise Bearmach are just outside of Caerphilly but won't be open until Monday, Halfords is your best bet for tomorrow else Euro Car Parts is either Pontypridd or Newport (both not open...

Have had a look, finally, at the damage and it appears to just be the sidelights line (red (well double red), its melted at the fusebox and at the switch/harness connector. Does this double red line go direct from the switch to the fusebox or does it go via the dash illumination aswell? In...

Bought an isolator key and extinguisher after having a small electrical fire this morning. Nearly needed a steam cleaner too ...

Have got driving spots fitted but they are through a relay and on their won separate supply to headlights and connected into the main beam only (they weren't on when this happened) Strange behaviour you say? The dashlights were flashing in sync with the hazards when I reconnected the battery...

Had myself a small electrical fire this morning, thankfully got the battery +ve terminal off before any flames started. Safe to say I was touching cloth after.. Anyway, the smoke was coming from the dash/column followed by the fuse box and on inspection the headlight switch connector looks to...

Watching, I have the same issue but just put it down to the fuel swishing about in the tank... it would seem, this is not the case.

Aye, those 3 that are coming off are for the earth point for that part of the engine bay, the point they go to is the earth point for your lights, what comes out of the harness to that connector should essentially be a line that goes back to the those 3 that go to earth point. It still sounds...

Is there one of the connections on that block the earth lead that goes to the chassis/earth point/not one of the light earths? If it is, are all the light earths connected at one end of the connector and the earth lead that goes off to the chassis or where ever connected into the opposite end...

how are all the earth's for the lights on the non-driver side connected, is there a big connector they all go into? Can you get a picture of it?

try with the head light earth on that side disconnected connect it all back up and again, then repeat for side light earth disconnected repeat again for the front side indicator earth see if that directs you to he fault

Had this same issue (though not with LEDs), it turned out to be one of the Earth cables on the affected side for either the head light, sides or indicators (can't remember exactly which one, sorry) but the earth cable had snapped. It turned out to be I had reattached it at the wrong point of the...

On further inspection the mid section olive is pretty much rotted off so rather than carry on with a lot of faffing about for the sake of a bodge I'm just going to replace the the mid and rear section, will only have to do it later anyway...

bit late for that, both brackets are in 2 halves...:D:D slotting probably would have worked as well :rolleyes:

Cut my mismatched exhaust brackets off ready for a new clamp to go on to connect my exhaust up properly (another bodge taken care of o_O) and put my dash back together... again.

So the clamp I ordered was too small...:oops: but it looks like a viable fix if I get a bigger one and smear the whole think in Fire Gum :D, just have to wait a few more days for the bigger clamp to show up i suppose unless anyone knows anywhere in South Wale that sells the clamps?

If the flasher unit is kaput though they might not get any noise...:rolleyes:

behind the fuse box?

That's the one I just ordered, going to use a healthy amount of Fire Gum to seal it anyway.

Looks that way, yet another bodge uncovered :rolleyes:.. Rear sectionis 56mm pipe, mid section is 59mm pipe... 58mm clamp it is...

I'll give my pipe a measure and try it! For the sake of a couple of quid.
