Re: Does anyone know Andrew Waltham please?

There was an Andrew Waltham on the list of attendees at last weeks UK MOT at
Norfolk.

Hope this is of help.

Glove box infills

I don't think I was dreaming, but at the 2014 national I'm sure I remember someone selling infills for the

Thanks.

Re: Indicator Issue

Thanks, wires all check out correctly. Going with the earth fault, I've started by removing/cleaning the one on the same side wing. Sorry to sound dim, but is it a case of working through all the earth connections, or is there a better way? I've also tried reconnecting the old light unit and the fau...
