That's very good information - thanks very much.

I'll keep watching my bank balance. The sum involved shouldn't be difficult to notice :wink:

It's a leftover from that awful Jack Black movie 'Be kind rewind' from where they remade Back to the Future without any budget. Or taste. Or skill. Or eyes. Heck, I live in Essex, no doubt it will turn up in a local Maccie D's on a Friday soon with some cap on backwards blade carrying scumbag behind...

The switch in my splitty did the same, and like Mr P says, I took out the switch, and got the MOT no problem.

1951 only item, IIRC.

Loving the car - good luck with the trip
