With your lamp problem, would it help to wire the lamp in parallel rather than in series?
Just a thought.

Sorry Scottie22, don't think I understand
The problem with the lamps is to do with the design pattern in the glass, they are Deffo for left hookers. Not a problem as CBS do them for about 20 quid each

Perhaps I misunderstood, I thought you said the engine carried on running but stopped when you pulled a bulb out?
If that was so it may be that the bulb was wired in wrongly?

Thanks Scottie, just need o figure out how to reduce noise and more importantly the brake balance!
Can I out reducing valve in for the rears? The problem I have is the weight distribution is 850 rear and 600 front!

Try giving these fellas a ring, I found their details on the net.
Apparently they do a remote bias adjuster system for around 40 quid!
You just bolt it on.

Look at ebay item 250879771956, you could pack your silencers with his stuff to pass, then take it out after!

Please can I have your opinions on this please-
Going to use a proportional valve that will allow me to restrict the pressure to the rear brakes. Will this be IVA friendly?

I would have though that you need to increase the pressure on the front brakes, rather than decrease it on the rear. There seem to be plenty of cheap bias adjusters on the net that let you do just that, dial up what you want, where you want?

Congratulations!
How did you sort the brake bias out in the end?

Hi Scottie,
Sorry for the late reply, I added an adjustable proporsioning valve for the Rees. Once found the correct balance, drilled thru and removed the knob so it's disabled as its not allowable under IVA to be adjustable

Great news.
Look forward to seeing a few more photos of your car "on the road".
Enjoy, Paul.
