We've booked. Great value for money, fingers crossed for a nice day.

Nice to meet you both today Sylvia.

Enjoy Bruggen, I wish I could make it.
Hope to see you out on another meet soon.

Daft question but is it definitely coming in through your tail lights?
Other place it can get in are side orange reflectors and boot lid seal, especially at the top where the wiring crosses it to get to the stop lamp and wiper.

I'm leaning towards a faulty CV joint at the moment. Is there an easy way to check if they're in their way out?

Hi Jay-Kay-Em. .

I have already replaced it but if I remember rightly it was clearly one which had been returned to stock so may have had an issue from new. I'll have another look at it

Thanks Alan. Will take a look.

I have found a single spare rubber cap in my screw box if anyone needs one...

I haven't checked them Jeff, I don't really know how to.
Could point me in the right direction please?

Yes it's seated ok. I tested the wires and no power to them. I'll just have to trace the wire back to where it's broken if it's not fused.
I'll do it when I next pull the dashboard out to find the annoying vibration...

Is it fused somewhere? Is there a connection other than the bulb holder which may have come loose? TIA...

I have had the dashboard out today to try to stop some annoying rattles. I've managed to stop all but 1, the worst one unfortunately. When I pull away I can feel a slight vibration and I get a vibration noise, it stops when I get over 10mph, and only happens when I'm pulling away. Sometimes I think ...

Headlights on to operate fog lights.

I soooo wish I could attend this. It's exactly why I bought the car, to attend events like this.
Bloody kids and bloody exams! 🤬

There's a couple of cars being broken at the moment, I'm sure they'll have wiper arms and spindles. Alternatively you could try some loctite, or as a more robust fix and one you can remove if needed, you could drill and tap a hole in the wiper arm so you can insert a bolt or grub screw to grip the s...

Brill. see you there.
