I spotted it as I posted it. It was done on an iPad and I hate typing on those, though I don't think it was an auto correct, I just pressed too many 'A's.
I left it in because I figured it'd look good in this very thread...
And the "pearlers" ? I left it in because I figured it'd look good in this very thread...

Ok, I probably need a parrot here I guess. What about it?This is what I was referring to:

If there's a different spelling then I hold my hands up to a whoosh because I've spelt it like that all my life....

Oh well. I can honestly say I have never seen it spelt that way. I've only ever seen pearler. Even the iPad doesn't like purler, it tries to change it to lurker.From the Oxford dictionary:-

Although, that description you posted doesn't really describe the meaning in the context I used it.
I bet if I had actually used purler it would still have ended up in this thread, so I probably can't win here. Next time I'll use 'corker' instead....

you mean they might sell 1000's as a posed to 100's sounds like a good move and of course they still off the MC stradale close to there core values

Where to begin with this one
Editited to add bold, but ignoring the lack of caps and punctuation.

The other day when probing with my meter i got a volts reading of 12 going into the old relay and 10 coming out, to the indicators, strange i thought but i assumed it was an anomoly.
Then today, when i removed the insulation tape on loom i came accross an 800 ohms resistor crudely soldered in series with the cable running to my indicators.
Is this wrong? It should be wired in parrallel to increase the current, shouldnt it?
Please confirm/ deny my knowledge as its bugging me that im wrong.
Anyway i desoldered it out and stuck my new relay in and all works well so im a happy chappy!
Cheers
