Boot Lock

Evenin' all Last year I got locked out of the boot. There was no problem with the actual lock it was just that the handle turned & didn't release the lock. After breaking in I discovered that the square spindle from the handle wasn't locating in the hole of the lock.Initially I thought that the ...

Wire size?

Evening all!

I need to replace the white wire which feeds the live side of the coil (from the fuse on the bulkhead). Anyone know what size this is? It looks about 1-1.5mm2 but I thought is should check first!

Re: Bah! Broken down!

You chaps are heroes. Condensor on order. I'll keep you posted. On another subject, anyone know how I swap my old & tatty locking petrol cap for my shiny new one? How do I get the old collar of the filler pipe. It seems to be fitted with 3 rivets whereas the new cast alloy one has one self tappi...

Thanks chaps. I'm not planning on any current hungry devices just a radio but I did wonder if the electronic system might be more reliable & less prone to damp etc. Regarding the conversion. I'm not too concerned about the value as I'll never sell this car! I'm just aware that it's fairly major ...
