Wiper blades turned up today, what a great fit! But discovered the screen washers doesn’t work so that’s next in the list for the weekend fix’s, hopefully it’s a simple fix

Well today I took the beast out for a drive and started to get a rattle noise when I initially pulled away, stoped about 2k revs and was fine between changing gears. I’ve No ideas what it is, so investigations start after work Friday…
Did get a squeaking noise with lights on also but turning them off and back on seemed to in the short term stop it… looking like I need to tighten up the drive belt…

Today I decided to take a look at why the indicators on the left did not work.
The rear was on permanently and the front had no light.
The right worked fine, so investigated the flasher relay, ( 2 found under the right side next to the wiper motors, I made an assumption one was for the left and the other for the right so came to a quick conclusion one was faulty and brought two new ones) Amazon delivered today……
Turns out one is for the hazards the larger top one and the other is for both lady and right indicating…
Started chasing the power to the front in the hope I would come across another flashing relay for the left but found it to simply be a poor earth as once fixed they both started flashing so I now understand that if one of the lights stays on it due to the other one causing a problem or fault…

Happy days, next to fit a new near side mirror and wiper blades….
