When Mrs B was driving the 914 to Curborough I noticed that the side lights and front indicators could be brighter. I took the lenses of and was surprised at what I saw. Bulbs will not come out? No bayonet on the bulb and nothing between the light housing and the wheel??
How do I get the bulbs off to replace? I've already tried penetrating liquid.
Once I've sorted that I will try sealing it at the back l.

Despite me placing the sender on a clean tray, on my worktop Mrs B was still able to knock it onto the floor and break it.
Now banned from the garage

I operate a strict password entry system into the garage - I change the password daily. It's usually a derivation of 'no girls allowed'

I just tried to solder it on but no luck. Thankfully a neighbour is an expert

Neighbour handed the sender back solder nicely
I decided to swap the sender and check the gauge.
Nice match between sender and gauge 21/263. Looks like I might already have a resistor in circuit?

Removed the locking wheel bolts so that the extendable socket in the car will work on all the wheel bolts. I still need to find a portable jack.

My radio arrived back with a headphone jack added. Strangely it has two ground points. It also looks like I'm going to have to create a bracket to fix the rear of the radio to the car. Strangely the positive wire I was hoping to use only shows 12v then the ignition key is in the office position. 500 piece connector set bought from Screwfix. I'm struggling to find a positive wire to use. I had read to use fuse 8/9 but I'm getting neg volts off those. Which didn't make much sense to me. I will look to use the lighter positive.
