Re: Clock repair

Mark Willows at Clocks4Classics is still very highly recommended. A very helpful guy with a good electronic conversion for Series 1 tacho clocks. And other products also.

Re: Road light switch

Done a bit of Googling and looking at my books. Consensus seems to be that S1 cars were not offered fogs as a factory extra and that the wiring loom and diagram were common across some other models. Haven’t seen any photos which look period on cars (save for a blue OTS in a Mecom auction). Since my ...

Re: Road light switch

Probably therefore, since I don’t know whether it had fogs originally fitted, I go with the replacement I’ve just purchased. But I agree that a rear fog makes good sense but where could it be subtly located? They have such a pure rear end I’d hate to mess with it. In the reversing lamp??

New alternator

A number of years ago, I enjoyed a couple of Series 3s. I bought an alternator, either new or recon, which has lain unused in my garage ever since. I’m happy to give it to a worthy home, for free, but ‘buyer’ collects. No tricks! I’m in West Malling, Kent.
