This drive seems to be used on every british car!
-
Is it this bit I need to get out? Looks very happy there.
-
-
Hold on! I knew it!
i didn’t throw the old one out from last year!
it seems good.
it turns freely and smoothly.
hows the square cable bit look to you?
and which way should it go in?
-
I’ve retired for the day. I’ll get in deeper next time. It’ll be a while as I’m away for a month. Shame I’m so close to everything working!
very pleased with the flashers now though. No idea why they were disconnected.
I’ll let you know when I get that tunnel off.
i think I’m probably going to install hatches for the drive and oil level. I heard thus was a thing worth doing.
-
The outer cable is just spinning
-
Oh I like the stretched idea. I’ll give that a go.
-
On a positive note I just found the wire for the flashers! They’re now working. For the first time since I’ve had the car.
so when I get the speedo working I’ll be 100% I assume there will be champagne
-
That’s just a picture of the type I have from rimmers. Can the be repaired? Or is it likely I’ll need a replacement again? If it’s a replacement I’ll wait until I can get the part before pulling the interior out.

Me bloody speedo not working now!
The cable isn't spinning but it isn't broken either, I pulled the inner cable out.
I replaced the drive about a year ago with a new washer too. I'm in 2 minds if i should start on this job today. Could it be anything apart from a new drive? Should i buy one before starting?
-
All working now. What a palaver!
I've no idea what happened to that poor cable. I suspect the number plate light shorting out. I'll never know.
-
-
Ah ha!
It had come unplugged. Obviously that whole wire is now toast. But I can run new in from here!
-
Oh dear.
It's all burnt up, but still no power. I think it's broken somewhere i can't get to.
Anyone know where it splits to go to the front side lights? It's obviously ok to there as the front 2 are working.

If the wires are fused together they have got hot, you have a sort tomearth somewhere
I think the opening and closing of the boot wore the insulation down. I'll strip it all back tomorrow

That's a furry thing on the Mini next door's aerial

Well it was brilliant.
Really well organised. Lots of marshals and signs. loads of interesting cars and bikes too.
The pubs were well prepared and had outdoor bars and BBQ and you could get a shandy straight away.
Definitely recommended.
The only downside was the heat. Next time i'll bring a table and umbrella! very little shade.

One common place is the split where the wires (yes your after the red ones from the column are all snap connector to the main harness
Under the steering column
Some have an inline fuse hidden for the side lights
And the wires up the boot lid should not affecf the rear tail light , the number plate just join to the main tail supply
With a double snap connector in the red supply to your tail lamps .

Ok fab. I think i know which one it should be.
I'll see if i can follow it back. Bloody petrol tank and some 'remedial patch up work' i did with fibreglass filler might be covering it now.

are the front side lights working? I think the front and rear are feed from the same feed.

Yes they are.
I feel i'm one wire away from success!
-
I'm guessing one of the red wires should have power

If they are fused together have you checked your fuses are ok?
They are fine, Annoyingly

My mother followed me part of the way to Wales and she told me my tail lights aren't working,
I found that a couple of the wires in the back had worn out and had fused together! I split them up and wired them back into where they should be going and still no joy. I have a reverse light that still works and the red wires in the photo go to the tail lights and number plate light.
I assume somewhere there is a live wire from the front side lights that needs to connect to the rear ones.
Dammed if i can find it. It's a bit of a mess back there!The cats not helping as always!
-
I can be found there every Boxing Day with my mum.
lovely little pub

The chap who established Classics on the Common decided a few years ago it had become too large and stepped down, then establishing Classics in the Walled Garden at Luton Hoo, which is a great evening. Sadly, this clashed with something else I had planned this year so I missed out, but that evening has a lovely atmosphere and no traffic issues!
Gully
Oooo it's posh there!
