Red 6 pin Fog light relay.

Hi All,

I'm after the series 1/2 rear fog light relay , you know the one that has 6 pins and was located on the engine bulkhead next to the bonnet lock. Seems mine is intermittent and cleaning the contacts hasn't made it any better. Thanks in advance.

Hi Bobkelso, I have the 3 line output servo that your photos show and the lines are connected the same also.

Brake circuit questions

Hi Ladies and Gents, I have a question regarding the 33 brake circuit, and perhaps the reason why I have a weak offside rear caliper. Around 4 years ago I converted my car to disc's at the rear because I was fed up with a weak offside drum performance and it seems that the disc/caliper conversion ha...

After reading up again on setting the hand brake cables and re-adjusting they all work and better than before!, I think when I put new cables in I hadn't set the handbrake up 2 clicks and pumped the brake pedal a few times then adjusted the cable tension and hey presto it's working just fine.
