Default Big Thank You


Hi All,

I'd like to say a big thank you to Lloyd and Ste Nova.

Lloyd for supplying a ballast at a very reasonable price.

Ste Nova for soldiering the old wires to the new ballast and re-sealing it, and also deliverying it back to my house, for the cost of 3 bottles of white wine and 2 large cans of WD40.

So once again gentlemen, a Big Thank You......

I will be re-sealing the light lens tonight, and then putting the car back together on saturday morning.


Cheers
Kiwi

Hi Planeman,

I got a ballast form Lloyd that worked, but the wires that came out of it had been cut off.
So I took my none working ballast, and took the wires off that, and Ste Nova re soldiered them on Lloyd's old ballast, and then he re-sealed it.

Works a treat too.

I still have my old ballast, for spares. Ste thinks maybe it's worth doing a bit of work on the old one to get it to re live, mainly needs drying and the eletric board cleaning, and it then may work again.

Cheers
Kiwi

It's anti-freeze in white wine, not WD40.
