Was having some trouble with my hazards and Indicators.
Being a Spanish model it had the old card style fuse board. Tracing some wires then bypassing the fuse board for the hazard relay got the Indicators working but not the hazards.

So instead of cutting the old one out and converting to the jap type or a aftermarket. I picked up one of these.

It's from ortuworks. Company in Spain making them. Has built in resistors that bring on leds if a fuse blows. It's now got all Indicators and hazards working. But still have a weak signal to passenger rear. But now I know any faults will not be coming from here.

Trying to get this thing finally on the road. So booked a mot for Tuesday.
Spent this morning tidying up my tail light wiring, reassembling parts of the interior, checking all the lights still work, bleeding the brakes again, and trying to get the fueling set abit better.

Need more tunning on the fuel but the car is home so can mess about with that on the drive before Tuesday afternoon.

I've also printed so many pages out for starting the process of getting a v5/registering the car. Was last registered in Guernsey. Been told that all the import procedures have been done apart from the test. And as I know the old registration, I'm going to mot it with that then just try sending a v62 and v890 to get a v5 and sorn it. Fingers crossed this works if not it's some bigger forms that could be a pain. And would result in a new reg. But will take it as it comes.

Well mot was yesterday, but sadly the brakes didn't make it through. I'd rebuilt the front calipers and bled them all up but still rubbish. I'm hoping it's maybe just some air still or the old flexis.

Just has standard flexis that have had the mounts dropped down a inch. So have ordered some new extended ones and will move the brackets back up.

Failing that might be the combination of servo and master cylinder I'm using but hopefully not. I do have a brake bias valve on the shelf in garage. So maybe worth firing that on the rear line if hoses and another bleed doesn't sort it.
