Trevi Trouble!

This time the dip beam headlights did not work, I fiddled with the fuses and no luck.

So I arranged for @Slowsilver to come over this afternoon and he laid his healing hands on the fuse box and  there was lights!

Do the lights stay on when he takes his healing hands off it?

No, he has been gaffer-taped to the inside of the bonnet!

LNA must be an endangered species, compared with 2CVs, Dyanes, even DSs. More Visa's, possibly?

A friend of mine at sixth form had one when she passed her test - A reg in white. This would have been 1989 and I have rarely seen another.

Today I took up an offer of 17 free spanners on a local recycling site. Most are seldom used duplicates, but they included a holy grail chrome vanadium 10 and 13 mm!

No.7 Fuse it is. A twist of the fuse in the holder and we have indicators again.

I had to look it up, but I like Sunflowers.

Morris is home.

The exhaust was blowing, it turned out the heat shield is welded to the exhaust box and had pulled out leaving holes. Now the holes are welded up and the heat shield rewelded on.

Also the rubber driveshaft U/J was replaced and it is a happy little car again.
