    Radio in the 205 had been acting up,so decided to replace it with this Top quality* two knob Harrier that I'd bought at a boot sale the last time I was in Norfolk for not very much.
    It only works 😁


    Looks period correct too.
    Chuffed!

    Being such a glorious day it was definitely an excuse to get the 2CV out (plus it was drive it day…) 

    Went to a little meet in the morning, and it was little. But there were a few gems there! 

    Then a short drive to the beach, and met up with some friends and their Morris Traveller. 

    (There was a car between them when we parked)
    The long way home was used too… a lovely day out in the 2CV!

    Family fleet attendance at another enjoyable East Coast Japanese meet:

    Star car of the day, for me at least, was this lovely Camry:

    Recently purchased at an ACA sale.
    Closely followed by this Piazza:

    The Laurel was second-oldest, with a friend's Celica Liftback taking the honours of being the most aged:

    I've never had my three parked side by side before. They have to park line astern on the drive and even then one of them has to be in the garage. 
    Well I was doing a bit of shunting this morning and there is a space at the top of our Close for two cars that was empty, which is a rarity in itself. Plus the sun was shining and the leaves have just started coming out on the trees so I thought why not.

    Like I say, parking for two cars, but when they are all quite small and all yours you can squeeze three in. Obviously you have to start from the left. If I'd put the Triumph in last I couldn't have got out of the car.

    Also, how to make a Favorit look like a big car. Park them either side of a Triumph 1300.

    The main beam issue will probably be dirty contacts in the switch. It's quite common. Mine does the same, intermittently.

    First thing to try is pulling the stalk out, putting some contact cleaner in there reinserting the stalk and giving it a good workout.

    If that doesn't work then the next level up is airbag off, steering wheel off, and cim removal to check the switch for damage/clean it/swap it. It's simple, just a bit of a faff so worth trying the contact cleaner route first.

    You can just pull them off with your hands without having to remove anything.
