S1 Rebuild(s)
some pics of the rebuild process,
the top trailing arm bracket is broke......
the diff is sloping back a little (looking up) so that will need sorting.......
As you can see there isn't a lot of bracing in an S1 chassis, that will be sorted.

Got multimeter out.....everything should work....but no indicators. ...hazards are OK but no indicators. .....then I had an idea.....start the engine and retest......indicators work with engine running but not engine off.....weird.

Brake lights...however....not sure if switch is a good one so more testing required. .

Battery is duff....but hazards work...with either relay...it's all led lights so no current draw to speak of.....perhaps the higher voltage helps.

@Graham - You just buy a flasher relay made for LED's... problem being they are electronic and silent so a beeper is also a good idea..

the law requires a sound or visual aid for indicators when in use., i like both.

I note that the red Malaga has been pulled from ebay. ....I am betting it wI'll show up soon out east somewhere....as a car for inspection due to going back on the road after a long lay up.....
