I assume it will work in any position, as the brake lights certainly worked last time it had an mot. Thanks

Hi, checked fuses again, and one had blown, replaced and now have reversing lights so will check brake light switch again, tomorrow. If that is ok any suggestions

Harvey, not getting anything. Tried measuring voltage and current bur nothing across the wires. I also noticed no reversing lights so thought it was a fuse but they all seem ok, in the fuse board. Any ideas or it's going to go to auto electrician.

Harvey managed it. Is this it? Cheers Mike

Hi Harvey, can't seem to attach photo. Is it on the bottom of the tee piece which leads into the servo. There are two connections one has two wires one has one wire. If I have to replace it do I just undo the nut, my concern is will brake fluid run out. Cheers mike

Hi checked bulbs they're ok. Thanks Harvey will do as you suggest tomorrow.

Hi just got my P6 v8 auto back from the mot station. It failed because of rear brakes not working efficiently plus poor handbrake and no stop lights. I've booked it into the garage to get things sorted but wondering why the stop lights aren't working. Should I get get a new switch and if so...

Thanks Harvey I'll get under and have a look for breather pipe and give it a blow if I can. If it's blocked what do you suggest I do, what would it be blocked with. Thanks again

Hi Thanks Harvey. Why does the dip stick say check cold? I'll run the car up to normal operating temperature and check as you say. I do notice that the dip stick has popped up after a good run, is there a breather I should check? Thanks

hi I know Harvey has written a lot about the oil level in the gearbox. My dip stick says "check cold" but I gather that's not correct. The oil level is well above the check cold mark when it is cold. So is the dip stick not the correct one or is this just a British Layland mistake. Thanks

Hi, thanks , but there is no way I can get the bottle in that position. There are to many pipes in the way.

Any chance of a photo. No breakers near me.

Hi I know there has been a lot of discussion about this so I decided to go ahead and fit one. I've purchased an old mgb bottle but having trouble fitting it as there is so little space. I see from previous threads that some people have managed to fit a plastic see through bottle. Anyone got any...
