i had this issue with my semaphore bulbless and aftermarket indicators fitted. but not flashing the fronts were white and the back red. rung my usual MOT man who's also a friend now as i take a lot of cars in, he said the ruling is. If semaphores are fitted they must pop up and down easily with no s...

did you put new copper washers in both sides of the banjo and the right sizes. i had that once on one of mine and it turned out to be the washer not sealing properly. if u haven't got new u can refurb the originals by heating with a blowtorch or gas hob until glowing red then popping them in cold wa...

i've swapped all the extras ie dizzy coil etc off the old engine. the only new partt is the engine itself so it shoul run. the only dif in the engines is the dizzy poistion i've heard of ppl having no1 at 10 o'clock but never seen it and this one has it. i tried everything to get it in normally but ...

they are the same apart from some have a bolt on connection and the newer ones have a spade connector for the wires.

so at most all you'd have to do is cut the connectors off the end of the wire and fit new ones.

i have the bulbs no problem just nothing inside at all :o i know there's only meant to be a few bits of wire etc but not on this one. spoke to my MOT mate he said "yes they are meant to have an amber light visable from front and rear. but as long as you have flashing normal ones fitted as well ...

i always thought the semaphore's had bulbs in them..... bought new bulbs for this car i'm working on and there was no gubbings inside the semaphore just an empty shell. is this right or is it missing something i will be sorting it out so there will be flashing indicators as well by the way. its a 19...
