Hi all.
I have a electrical problem with my minor. The engine starts fine but the fuel counter, indicators and wipers don’t work.
It was all working yesterday, but today I took out the windscreen washer tube and I changed the spark plugs, so I could of knocked something.
Thanks in advance
Phil

You got it in one, problem solved.
I took each fuse out and brushed all the terminals.
Thanks

I think he meant your reference to 'wee' which means something different down here.

I found it very funny, good play on words.
For those who are confused
Wee in Scottish = small
Wee in toilet humour, to take a leak.
Sorted?

Oh yes - the penny has dropped ! Too subtle for me - and hadn't associated toilet humour with Minor Forum.
