dickymint might still have a spare complete unit - see earlier Pop-up Headlamps thread one or two pages back.

Paul, are you sure its knackered? They are dead easy to strip down and check. Usually just a case of sticky brushes or dirty switch contacts.

If you can get hold of an April 2004 copy of Practical Classics, there is a really good article with lots of piccies all about sorting out TR7 pop up lights, including opening up the motor.

If you definitely need a 'new' motor TR7 specialists such as Robsport international, S&S preparations or Rimmer Bros may be best, but not cheap option.

Yes Richard -

I should have said after getting my car back - I just haven't used the headlights hardly! Good to have chaps like you around. Many thanks for the offer.

cheers!

Just finished servicing your motor Paul. Didn't need much other than a clean and inspection.

For the record I have taken some photos that may come in handy for reference. (let me know if the link works guys)
