Colin Lindsay Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 It was my first dentist that starred in that film. She WAS German, too. I don't remember if it was the truth or the tooth she was trying to get out of me but by the end I'd have told her anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyre pressure in the morning when i fill up. What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 If it does, send Hugh a message, he lives just north of Sennybridge, and what he doesn’t know about Triumphs isn’t worth knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 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!

Paula Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm guessing one of the red wires should have power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 All the red wires should have power when the lights are on. It could be the switch - if the wires did indeed short out, and the fuses are ok, the switch could have gone - or somewhere in the loom the wire could have burnt out - that is not what you want as that would be a bit of a pig to sort - though to be fair not as bad as a modern!

Pete Lewis Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 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 .

Pete 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.
