Hello all.
I had my auto electrician round on saturday morning from 9am to 1pm.
I now have the following issues fixed.
* Head lamp/dipped now getting 12v and actually bright now./new spade connections fitted to all front light connections relays fitted to lighting wiring.
* Engine earth fixed as it had a bad conection over heating damage at the fitting where it is bolted to the front panel.
* Fuse box removed and disasembled/checked, found 4 loose spade connections due to vibration over the years inside the actual fuse box.
* Rear o/s n/s indicators fixed also.
*N/S front side light fixed / fault at back of fuse box where wires go into block connectors.
* Best of all he fixed the most annoying problem of all, (the slow wipers) which are now running at least 3 times faster than before.
* Also he replaced a pile of bad/ poorly done connections in the engine bay.
We both were going to a local classic showin the afternoon so time was limited.I hope to get him back some time when he has more time to give wireing system a good check over for more faults.

Always good when you get to the bottom of annoying faults like these!

What was his trick for the wipers?

I think that  yellow Avenger was well smart and you dont see many of these nowadays.
There was a lot more cars than i took pictures off,i just tried to take pictures of cars in the 131's age group/era
This was a local meet in a small town but a huge collection of cars.
Mainly i admit Fords but then thats the case at all shows, There was about 5/6 E type Jags old Austins/Morris Porsche's  an A/C COBRA Landrovers.
I did not see any Japaneese motors.
There is a following of them in Scotland but they tend to be Datsun 250's etc.
