Hi Guys,car failed MOT today - only on two items though so a bit of a bonus?
I need to find out (as does my garage)what make/model the NSF steering arm is (between the rack and ball joint).I know the rack is cortina and the hubs Granada, but the arm? Plus, where's the best place to purchase said item?
Also, O/S headlight pod motor relay is U/S, can someone tell me which one it is as the diagram in my handbook bears no resemblance to the actual set up in my car? Does anyone have some wiring diagrams I can look at?
Cheers, Tim

The relay is an easy one they are interchangeable so you can swap in a non-MOT one when you identify which one that is! E.g. use one from the driving lights (not an MOT item). Probably not the fan one though or it'll overheat!

I found some diagrams see the FAQ articles under "electrical system"

I had the same problem with mine as regards to finding out what relay does what...You have actually reminded me as i had the similar problem as my diagram is non resembling also..Have you tried the diagram upside down..R to L instead of L to R?....
