HMR&C NOVA done! MoT Passed Just waiting on import pack from DVLA... we're in the same boat, except my form from the DVLA arrived today. there's a lot of questions that they say get from the certificate of conformity but i don't have one. aren't cars over a certain age immune from such question...

thanks for your contributions all.
for anyone who comes by this thread in the future - the two blue wires with 5mm ring connectors go together on the small stud.

thanks andy, i spoke to heron of newark today, and they'll be one for me to collect tomorrow.
i read him the number form the old switch, so all should be OK

thanks andy - it is the switch.

the switch from my 1980 gets the headlights working, but not the side & rear lights.

other than trying GSF and the main dealer, where can i buy another headlight switch from?

neither of my headlights work.

the fuses are OK, but they're separate for each one anyhow.

the full beams will work, to flash, but won't stay on.

both rear lamps and front sidelights work.

where is the fault? anyone any idea?

thanks.

unless you intend to access it via the zipout window in the front
