fog light

I hadn't noticed that in the latest IVA manual it stated the fog light had to be F marked as well as E marked. The one I'd just fitted only had the E mark so I purchased a similar light from SVC and luckily it matched the original housing near enough spot on. This is now wired in and I've made the necessary adjustments to the loom by adding an extra relay so that the fog light will only come on once the main beams are on, not just the side lights. I tested the circuit with the new savage switch I bought a while ago and also wired in the switches tell tale LED light.

I'd also purchased a brake test savage switch and after fiddling with the mutlimeter and the wires in the premier loom to see which wires did what and when, this light also now works. The LED comes on with the handbrake up, and on again with the handbrake down but only when the button on the master cylinder is pressed to replicate low brake fluid.

Another purchase made this week was a new horn which is now wired in and mounted just behind the radiator. I'd lost the steering wheel insert which is used as the switch to make the horn turn on so I raided the second donor I'd bought for the part.

The dremel drill saw some more action today creating a hole in the bonnet for the air filter. I used masking tape to mark lines where the top and bottom of the air filter were then transferred these marks onto the bonnet and then using a cardboard template, cut the hole.
