Success, started at steering column , found poor connections . Thanks everyone especially Colin. Happy motoring.

Thanks Colin, I will try that now.

Thanks Colin, I tried the flash trick unfortunately no success. the first thing I did was look for fuses, only found one red 10 attached to bulkhead, no idea what it's for but it is intact.

Hi all, in my eagerness to replace my battery I managed to cross the poles, earth to positive and start the car. Dumb trick I know, anyway I now have no Brake lights or main / Dip beam or side lights, all other electrics seem to be ok. anyone know what damage I have done & how to put it right ? Hope it's not a complicated job, as even replacing a battery seems to be beyond me !

How appropriate is that, Pete mentioned a reliant robin, my first car & driven on a full bike licence. Then the excellent video clip, with the bikes. Well wheel off over the weekend, now what did i do with that big hammer ?? Cheers Brian.

Thanks John & Pete, car up & running again Now showing my total ignorance of all things Triumph, only the nearside wheel moving is this the norm ? Cheers Brian.

Thanks John, for the rapid response. I will give it a go. Cheers Brian.

Hi Folks, Fired up 13/60 convertible after a 3 month lay up but cannot select any gears. Have pumped pedal & checked master cylinder, which is full & seems to be operating & no obvious leaks. Strange thing is when the engine is not running all gears can be selected. I have the use of a ramp next week end, so is there anything under the car I should be checking / ordering ? Thanks Brian.
