@jackstringer. 'Total loss system' 😂 - just like some WW1 planes with oil spraying back into the face of the crew - acne and stomach aches were rife in those days but least of their worries I s'pose. Yesterday I went for a ride and got caught in a shower??. Arrived home and found I couldn't turn off the lights completely so I removed the fuse from the +ve terminal must be -ve earth, no? Today I put the fuse back in and realised that after I tested the foot brake the lights behaved normally and still do, loose connection, rain related?🤷. A wee drop of engine oil and a bit more in the gear box, (primary is fine) and now looking forward to a trouble-free run tomorrow.
