just to update, I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near ebay. Otherwise I buy things http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n298/filthyjohn/Volvo15s.jpg So, thanks for the offers, but I now have far too many wheels to know what to do with. My back garden contains: 4 18" audi wheels, 1 14" audi wheel, 4 ass...

Well, I'm gonna be down in Kent picking up a fiat X1/9 next weekend, so it's no real problem for me to come over to ipswich. What's another few miles when you've already travelled 300 or so? :D

Well, thanks for all the help guys. It's not apretty sight but all the lights work. Video to prove it! I wasn't having any luck with the scotchloks so i took them off and started baring wires and touching touching them together. I got all the lights to work after some trial and error(and a few glass...

I had nokian 'gazzaloddi' tyres on my mountain bike for ages. Pretty decent they were too, though michelin and maxxis probably rule the roost in MTB tyres. :D

This is what I've got so far: http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n298/filthyjohn/Towbuzzer.jpg Those little connectors are pretty cool, but there are multiple wires to each bulb. Is there a rule as to which wire is the correct one? Or should I connect the earth, then just trial and error it with the...

Yeah I've connected all the wires except the earth and the ones which connect to the vehicle wires. So that's just the two that connect the 7-core cable to the relay. :oops: I'm a bit scared to start chopping into the car wires in case i make a boo-boo. I'll try to get some pointers from a pro tomor...

Yep, I'm now immune to tailgating! I was really impressed with the quality of the bar, and it would have fitted easily to a saloon. :? However, I just can't understand the wiring kit. I've got the 7 core wire from the plug into the car through a grommet, and half wired in this funny relay box thing/...

Mine isn't going particularly fast! It used to be proper quick though, but sad electrical faults mean it no longer starts. I may actually get a mobile mechanic out, but I think I'd get more for the car in bits than whole. I think the term redtop came around as a collective term for the two slightly ...
