I ...

Driver's Seat Propped Up!

Afternoon all from a very hot sunny South Wales. I just halled the Moggy out of the long grass brambles! The driver's seat is propped up with a block of wood and 'd be pretty sure it's not going to get an MOT like that! Here's a pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/datasafe/Cars%20and%20Other%...

Done, I think! Sorry for that.

Meanwhile, can someone ID the small bulb fitted to the end of the indicator stalk?

I've now got the indicators working but don't know what I did - maybe just fiddling around corrected the fault.

Cheers

Joined the 2 terminals on the back of the dynamo and measured the voltage to battery ground - didn't appear to be any output. Checked a few times with the engine running of course, but nowt.

Hi all Thanks for the replies - for some reason I wasn't getting the notification emails! It's 9 months since I posted and the poor old moggy has sat outside the house - dumped! Anyway, I got very annoyed that it had just been dumped and I've decided it's now mine :) The cold wet and the Ariel Atom ...
