Sorry, should have put that bit in..... Near Derby, Derbyshire. Rear bumper no good, rotten. Aerial is there, but pitted at base and the two sections do not slide. MF

I have a 3500S on my drive at the moment, need the space freeing up, and as it has rot on its rotten bits, I am breaking it. If anyone wants a 3500 engine, which seems to run OK, and a 3500S box which jumps out of reverse, please call me on 07885 751692. Needs to be removed from car, or take...

On the RAC web site is a useful vehicle check option. If you put the number in it comes up with information if it is valid. MUD 16 is currently on a Bentley, first registered in 1957. MainFrame

<<Quote>> Hi Mainframe and many thanks for the guidance. That sounds like a very systematic and sensible way forward. I will find myself a very long piece of wire at the weekend and do my best Columbo act! Paul. You do not need a long piece of wire, just four little ones! At each connection...

For this light to work you need the connections to be OK on top of the brake fluid reervoir and all the brake pad sensors to be connected correctly. If you have access to a wiring diagram, you will see that the earth path goes through the handbrake switch, then through all four pad plugs before...

Can I also add my thanks and pleasure at seeing my car on the front page.... fame at last! Roll on next April when it comes out of hibernation! Main

Wadhams supply a suitable bracket to mount these lights. Main
