OK MOT tomorrow on my UK spec C5 and checking lights shows that my rear SIDE panel indcators, both sides, are not working. All the others are ie front, rear and front SIDE panel. The manual lists only one fuse, serving the indicators. I half think that the US cars do not have side indicators so I wonder if Euro/UK spec cars have additonal fuses for the side indicators, one fuse for front sides and one for rear sides. Does anyone know and if relevant,where in the 2 fuse blocks the fuse for the rear sides would be located.

Alternatively maybe US cars need rear sides and Euro cars don't and these indicators are in fact non-operational. I cannot recall ever seeing them working.

OK ignore, trick question; the lights are of course marker not indicator lights; which would explain why I have never seen them flashing

Yup sailed through, Dennis at Carstop did it. Mind you I popped out in the yellow one to get some milk at lunchtime and ended up ended up with it on a flatbed being trailered to Dennis to get fixed!! Gearbox sized during a 3 point turn, which created some congestion for the 3 hours I had to wait!

Yellowshark rolling again. It had selected 2 gears. Unfortunately, perhaps, they could find nothing wrong that would have caused it. Dismantled a variety of bits, cleaned and greased etc. So I will have to use roundabouts in future when I want to turn around

I'm sure there must be a software upgrade to stop that happening again...

Software upgrade eh, hell I haven't even fitted the electronic ignition I got a couple of years ago. Mind you I do fancy the rack and pinion upgrade that Steeroids are doing, it would be nice to turn the steering wheel and have the wheels turn too. But at 1200 bucks aka 1200 GBP I guess that is a pipedream. And for that I could get the C5 wheels powdercoated graphite, fit the z51 upgrade and have enough over to book next years Le Mans ferry; decisions decisions
