Another step .... backwards

Decided to spend an hour tinkering with the E-type after lunch to look at the non-working indicator (RHS) repeater on the dashboard. 

Whilst struggling under there I spotted that the pipe to the de-mist was off so I tried to put that back on.

Then I noticed a loose bulb in its fitting - just a dash light I think - and as I touched it the bulb fell out. After looking for a replacement I decided it was correct and put it back. It was impossible to get under the dash so I lowered the steering column all the way again but as I could not reach the indicator bulbs I put everything back up and left it alone. Testing it I found that I now had NO working repeaters.

Ummm. Two steps back again.

After this we took the SAAB out a to Harkstead for tea.

Then I treated myself to another Aston run in the sunshine.

This time looking nice and clean - even after the 200 miles round trip.

I will take the E-Type out for a test run to make sure I've not disturbed anything else (in the dark to check the lights) but the position is so hard to get to under the dash I suspect one of the instruments needs to come out to get to it. SO that will be a few weeks out of used again.
