We've just treated Vera to a service and an electrical sort out.
Now she is running beautifully, and all the lights/indicators/brake lights/stereo etc work when they're supposed to, and don't pack up everytime you turn left/brake/indicate/put your high beams on/move/breathe/burp/fart or anything else!!!!
We took it to the garage in Higham Ferrers where toughjeans got his beetle MOT'd, so thanks for the tip Steve - Oh, and by the way - your wings are looking cool!!!
