MEET & GREET AUCKLAND AREA

Posts seem slow on this site now....Needs a stir up...Is anyone keen on a Meet and Greet like we used to do in Ellerslie upstairs carpark. I remember people coming from Morrinsville ways to attend.

Have not had a chance to look yet but have noticed that headlights work on low beam but when flick to high they go off completely.
Will check from switch onwards...I have multimeters and test light. Just wanted advice of best place to start testing from. Cheers Stevo.

Any ideas where to look first please....under bonnet...in boot...behind dash etc. Surely someone else has experienced this ...

Sounds rough but I used black silicone RTV. A cheap option. If only small pinholes it fills ok and hardly noticeable. Just smear smooth after application with wet finger.

Yeah....its weird...even organising weeks in advance folks will not commit to it. Its like they want to wait till 1 hour before in case something else more rewarding may turn up.
