Slowly but surely working my way through the wiring, lost the fabled burnt out yellow plug off the ignition switch , replaced with a better quality multi plug .Amazon only have the book for 4 grand !!. Thanks for all the suggestions reguarding alignement could do with someone near my town of Worksop notts. The dashboard is getting a redesign , doing it in brushed stainless and updating the warning lights , and losing the clock .Heater motor seems to have seized too, might leave that for another time !

Had a frustrating day trying to remedy the courtesy light switches, old brycrest units single bolt fitting . A right pain to get out had to dismantle them to get them out of the car , cleaned all contacts up refitted but only one showing continuity . Played about with the one that didnt work stripped the contact out and changed for a brass screw and nut !. replaced in car only to find that shutting door the plunger wasnt long enough to open the switch !.Still no luck with Steve Heath book, also can anyone tell me were on the car the fibre optic thingy my bob fits found mine abandoned disconnected, under the centre console. Also the feed for the cigarette lighter is tapped in to the heater circuit.... is this correct ? . How hard is it to remove the heater motor ? looks a devil. AAAh well 2 steps forward and 3 back !!!

Mulling over to get rid of immobiliser now im in the "bowels" of the wiring its a toad and i think originally flashed indicators when armed or disarmed , this part no longer functions. Looks like original to car, what to change it for ....no idea !. Obviously need some kind of deterrent .
