Well, it's my age!


I forget things!


Like the easiest way to raise a headlamp pod that won't come up under its own steam, nor by me turning the knurled knob under the motor; nor by pushing from underneath.

Any and all ideas gratefully welcomed. Those involving triangular-shaped, blue-coloured pills will not be entertained by my doctor!

Sometimes its difficult to engage the plastic knob onto the shaft - use a flat head screwdriver to turn the screw instead of your fingers.

I need to turn the knob a lot before it starts to rise.
But it works. Cleaned the connectors and all back to as new.....

Streaky,
It probably is your age and you do forget things.
Lets hope when you get your memory back, you will remember certain matters to do with BBWF 04 and bezels

I have just popped back to scan messages (having sorted the problem out without assistance ... not that there was any ... SHAME!) to discover that I appear to be maligned in print.

Despite this being a private matter, as it has been aired in public, I reply that a cheque for the bezels was sent on or about 21 July 2004 and (according to my accountant) went through my bank account 10 days later.

Perhaps, stainless_steve, someone else needs to "get it sorted".

Had Karl contacted me privately instead of hijacking a technical question, I would not have needed to post this public response.

And anyway, the bezels didn't fit and are still in the original tissue, unused.

I assume you are turning the knob the correct way. If I recall it has to be turned anticlockwise, and needs a lot of turning before it starts to rise.

Yeah, sorry. Thx to those who did offer advice, but I thought I'd indicated that turning the knob (over 50 rotations BTW) wasn't working - Streaky

Don't mind if we do this whilst I'm seated do you? The knees are getting to be a real problem these days! I should imagine I will be needing at least six pints to help quell the pain of the ongoing aches before we start, so I'll have to fight you one handed with the pint in the other. And being as I'm right handed that'll be left handed, and I do so hate spilling beer.

Apart from that, for health reasons, I can't necessarily keep to appointments booked a long way ahead, so I tend not to make them.

Happy New Year!
