I know that feeling.......having to replace it as the Halfords one has run out.. not too impressed as the charger only gets it to half charge. Cant find receipt so doubt I can get any sort of refund.... hence wondering if anyone had used a reliable mail-order place. If not will pop into a well thoug...

Need a new battery for the traveller. Could pick up a Halfords HB038 - but does anyone know of any alternatives that can be delivered that they would recommend? Also anyone recently bought a decent battery charger. I have a trickle charger which is OK, but wondered if anyone had bought a heavy duty ...

I agree - it is better to get advice - hence I always ask. Some of us aren't engineers and have actually never done anything on a car. Better to ask than do something that could cause damage or even endanger passengers.

Well part is ordered so no turning back! Will let you know how I get on!

But I assume it just comes off anti clockwise and then if I have the new switch to go in quickly I shouldn't have too much trouble?? Famous last words...

Whenever I read all the things I can do wrong it scares the hell out of me

LOL - just posted about that - the fixing it part elsewhere.

I think the image below is the right part to sort out my brake lights which have started to stay on. Checked by taking wire from existing terminals off - and lights went off. Any advice on fitting this? What tools - what to be careful of etc etc.... Thanks as always.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimag...

Crikey - actually diagnosed a problem for the first time! No stopping me now Thanks all!

Wire taken off.... no rear lights.. wire put back - they stay on. So we think the switch?

Hi all - Ive been trying to read all the various posts re brake lights being on permanently. They come on when I turn the key and are still on once engine is started. Is one of the possible faults a faults switch (which I think I have found down below under the bonnet)? I think I read you could test...

Yes - they added what I needed to the order! Thanks for advice. V helpful.

Just wanted to order one (may actually order 8 new one actually) as not currently at home so can't measure them up. Keen to get seats back in on my return. Didn't want to get wrong ones. Thanks for comments. Am sure I can find some on the ESM website. Think these are the ones?? http://morrisminorspa...

Good idea.... Never thought of that.. Will email them!

I've just taken out all the seats... and I need a spare bolt as one of the clamps only had one bolt. Silly question - Whats the right size bolt for this? I just placed an order at ESM for lot of bits and bobs and would rather not have to do an order for 1 bolt that would require postage, so wondered...

Picked four doors up today. They are in better condition in every aspect compared to the ones currently on the car. Just the wrong colour [frame][/frame]

Picked up these so I can have a good go at refurbishing my seats. Have to say very pleased with my purchase.[frame][/frame]

Thanks.... Will have to go and examine where all,the bits you mention are found on the car.....good advice though. Thanks.

Taking a weeks holiday and have included a picture of my holiday reading!! Before you tell me all the info will be in these lovely books I did want to throw some questions to those of you who will have undoubtedly done all this before. Thinking of flushing the radiator. A sensible thing to do right?...

Any link to where I can read up on flushing the system? Simple to do? Traveller has def recently been done. As for my other one.... I have no idea!
