hazard lights come on

Postby glastry » Wed Feb 15, 2006 9:07 pm

yes-pretty random really,but definitely come on when i put the key in the
ignition.
1999 swb 80 diesel ,banana exhaust,previous history of electrical
faults,at the time it seemed that it started with a steam wash,now---
i'm not so sure,i think its really a malevolent force has got in there
and its just going to be a bas----!!!
before you start ,all offers of holy water,crucifixs,and tricks done by
men in dog collars,will be treated with the distain they deserve,(well probably,its not dark yet)
there was once a man called nighthawk,now i know that you all know him,---but,i believe in him and possibly he might have the time to work
out the answer.
all help appreciated,and again ,and i really mean this folks,god botherers,
methodist missionarys, clarevoyants etc are advised to stay well clear.
---cheers

Check the hazard switch on the top of the steering colum, sometimes they become stuck and although they look off they're not.

out in the dark

Postby glastry » Wed Feb 15, 2006 9:36 pm

went out in the dark,and firmly pressed the hazard switch a few times---
and, it seems to have worked!

thank you all,
now about my other looming mechanical problem,
i am about to remove two 105e's (petrols),from a freeman 26.
i want to replace them with peugeot 1.9 diesels,to connect
them to the existing parsons gearboxes,looks like its going to be interesting,-----now about that prayer meeting emm,you can never
find a vicar when you want one.

cheers

Glad to be of help, if it happens again you might need a new stalk.

new stalk

Postby glastry » Wed Feb 15, 2006 9:44 pm

is that one of the things that you think is following you home from the pub?
or is it a ford part?
wish i hadn't been so unkind to the vicar now.
cheers

nah -mate its just a sad combination of a tranny playing up every few weeks,a s3 landrover that needs restoration and a freeman 26 that needs
two new engines,combined with a lack of sleep!
your reply is truthfully appreciated and i love this forum,a bit of humour
does no harm,i apologise profusely if you think i was just being a "wise guy"

thank you
