[QUOTE="StuF, post: 540647, member: 17262"] Sorted the issue out today with the help of a good friend of mine who rewires aircraft and trains for a living! Firstly we stripped the old relay down, cleaned the contacts and removed all the corrosion that was rattling around inside Refitted it and after a bit of persuasion it freed off and worked perfectly However that was the start of a loonnnggg day testing wiring - after sorting the relay we realised there was only dipped and main beam, no sidelights on the second pull of the headlight switch, no lights at all! Front or back - appeared to be an earth issue as the fuel gauge was bouncing about! Dash to pieces, steering wheel off and binnacle out - after much testing and hair pulling the wiring was sorted now have : First pull of the headlight switch = Sidelights (LED) Second pull of the switch = Sidelights and Dipped Beam Flasher works perfectly when dipped beam is applied! Result that I didnt need to replace the relay with the heritage item as would have been more wiring faff! Having a beer now and ordering an indian - was long and stressful day! [/QUOTE]
