Re: TAIL LIGHTS & INSTRUMENT LIGHTS DEAD

My tail lights and instrument panel lights have died. A couple of times they have come back but only short term. I obviously suspect a loose plug of dirty earth as the culprit. Any ideas where to look first please....under bonnet...in boot...behind dash etc. Surely someone else has experienced this...

The A3 would probably win in a straight line but the MX5 would catch it in the twisties and be a LOT more FUN. :D

I recently put in a new DIN55L into my NB. It is slightly larger than the original and my last one died after 11 years.
It has 2 bungs that pop out from each end and right angled elbows slip in and connect up to pvc hose which vents to underneath the car.
Battery cost $165 incl

2 other MX5 owners along with myself were up by the tight right-hander half way up the hill on Saturday and we were all cheering you on mate.
Great effort and an awesome weekend.

MX5 97 onwards Band 3
Eunos roadster 89 - 98 Band 1
97 and 98 models overlap but MX5 and Eunos are exactly the same car.
Therefore if your 97/98 is registered as a Eunos its band 1, if its rego'd as a MX5, its band 3.

Sounds like a bent or buckled rim to me. Possibly hit a curb or from those huge pot holes you have down there. Can you borrow a set of rims/tyres from someone?
