Hi there, has anyone experienced a problem with the Fuel Gauge when the lights are turned on?

I had my mate sat in the car watching the fluid level in the M/Cylinder and operating the foot brake pedal whilst ...

Thanks. The tool came without any instruction/tips on how to use it but I guess it is just used to lever up the rubberlip on each side and feed the strip in inch by inch? I will take your advice and leave it to the next sunny day - starting after its been parked in the sun a couple of hours.

Hi there. I am a new member who has only joined today. I have been labouring hard for the last 12 months with a complete bare shell refurbishment of a 1959 2-door MM Saloon which is now close to MOT status. I have refitted the windscreen but am having the devil's own job figuring out how the plastic...
