Right, next few issues (now it's night time and I had to shift it to let my Dad's car out) ...
With the lights on, upon pushing the shifter down and left into reverse, it cuts the dash lights off ... all of em. However the headlights, all rear lights, internal lights, like the top centre light and the glove box light continue to work, it's literally just the dash (speedo etc) lights go off, they wont come back on untill you turn the light's nob (which also goes out) a notch whether that be off (from sidelights) or to sidelights (from main beam) then work fine, untill you plonk into reverse again ... I assume I have a short somewhere, but could any one help pinpoint this a bit closer?
Next are the dash lights, the speedo etc, they lights up yes, but very dim, perhaps this is how they are but they are very dull to me and the screen readout cannot be read? Any way to brighten these up?
Also found the thing on the right hand lever which gives you all the readouts which is cool for that age of car indeed, temp, temp outside, mileage, MPG etc ...
Also manage a go with steering. It's heavy very heavy but with turn with some effort. It's also turnable at a standstill on loose gravel/soil/tarmac but again heavy and tbh, both hands have to be used, is this sounding more like a rack or pump issue?
Thanks.
