Short Circuit...

After a long period with no visits, I finally had the time to get up to the barn to see 32 as well as my green goddess. It was back in August that Tony and I finally got it running properly although there was some cab painting as well as exhaust painting done after that.

The first job was to pop the new battery mat and battery back in as well as the drivers seat. After a few pumps of the accelerator and a lot of turning over, 32 sprang into life with no smoke, quickly settling to a rasp rather than the burble associated with a green goddess or RL with mid-emptying exhaust! The exhaust itself smoked a little as the new paint bedded in although after the run, there were very few black stains showing indicating links. At last, a leak-free exhaust!

Another problem reared its head though when I checked the lights. No side lights but the headlights worked. (Funnily enough, the side lights on 326 have also been the dodgiest!) I found the fuse - the cluster in the passenger footwell - and discovered the 'S&T' fuse had blown, some effort as its 35 amps. I swapped the headlamp fuse across and that blew straight away. So, an issue somewhere to be found.....
