After I had worked out the need for a feed to the + contact of the flasher can it was easy to see why it was being shy yesterday.

Put the speedo back in but no panel lights, fuel gauge, or dynamo light so back to the drawing board tomorrow, the wipers worked but made a horrible racket then stopped...

Good news on the fuel gauge it gives fsd with 12v across it so it is working. stripped the sender down it is fritzed and needs the resistor rewiring might just set the gauge up to register full for now.

The indicator flasher is quite a thing... I'd assumed it was a simple switch you cancel yourself.

Update
re wired the sender unit and gave it a quick test seems OK and the warning light works.

The switch thing is ingenious but way over engineered, it will be cool to see the switch reset it self as you drive along.

Any one know why there are 3 wires from the fuel tank sender to the gauge??? I just stuck them together as the other one I had marked up as the warning light lead. the series 2 only has 2 wires from the sender hmm... Anyway got the speedo back in with a working fuel gauge and low fuel light and also the dynamo light. I also found a gloworm masquerading as a dashboard light I assume I have put a too low wattage bulb in as at first I was convinced it was not working.

Hi all
has anyone had a go at repairing the manual washer pump? mine is seized but ones on ebay go for £20 plus and are not the same any ideas
Clarkey
had visions of grinding off the cap to get inside but this will probably destroy it

bit more done. fuel line connected, nearly there....
Had a look at the N/S brakes as they have leaked fluid since put back on the car. The good news is it is not the wheel cylinder seals leaking but the banjos on the back plate. So I whipped the drum and backplate off and got half a turn on the banjos so that should cure the leak. More good news was no fluid had got inside the drum and destroyed my new linings Phew!!! Will get it all back tomorrow and put some new grease and seal in the hub. I will then do the other side.

Also had a quick look at the number plate lights they are a bit knackered will look into getting them rechromed and fitting a lbulb holder inside. have left the washer pump to soak as it looks like it has limescale in it.

Have you uprated the front brakes ? I thought that twin leading shoes were a late 3rd series thing. Chugga also commented on the problems with these brakes leaking
I had spotted the "new" steering wheels. He seems to be keeping shtum on the price though. The Aurelia ones which are very similar (made in France) are well over a thousand euros and I suspect these will be too !
Others, here on the forum, have done very good repairs for significantly less .......
Gearbox oil - I suspect a good EP 90 is the probable answer
Looking good !

Someone in the dim and distant past had uprated the brakes, my youngest son rebuilt the other side and had no leaks guess he was a bit more brutal with those banjos! That wheel looks nice but the rest of the interior is 61 years young so it would look odd.
