Re: Headlight woes

Bingo - found it. The earth is a bullet connector into a little clip on the inner wing. It had pulled out. Pushed it back in and they all work fine now. I think I was thrown because dipped beam worked albeit dimly, but I should have checked earths as my rear lights on the Spitfire have been plagued ...

Re: Headlight woes

Earth sounds like a good call. I assume both full and dipped would share an earth. Not sure why I didn't think of that.

Headlight woes

Hi there, Any thoughts on this... One headlight (nearside) works fine. One headlight (offside) dipped beam lights very dimly, and full beam doesn't work at all. Side lights/indicators all work fine.

What are all the switches?

Hi all, Sorry for the nooby questions... I have just picked up my sister's 1970 Morris Minor 1000, as it is no longer ever used and she needs to sell it. There are a few little jobs that need doing on it, but I am struggling to work out what all the switches and knobs do. I have no manual and cannot...
