Hi James<BR>
<BR>
Your indicator problems are almost certainly caused by
the tail light <BR>
boards, however you don't state whether it's only one
side that's <BR>
affected. If it's both, does it also occur with the
hazard lights?<BR>
<BR>
You may have cleaned the internals of the switch, and
maybe the spade <BR>
terminals underneath, but the smell is most likely
coming from the plug <BR>
that goes onto the switch. Use a small needle file and
roughen up the <BR>
terminals in the plug as best you can. The motor is in
the door - if the <BR>
smell comes from the centre console, the motor ain't
the problem.<BR>
<BR>
If you get the chance to see Ian Titley's car, that's
a good example of <BR>
the original grain. Mine too still exhibits some of
the "stripeyness" <BR>
many cars left the factory with. NB they shouldn't
have! according to <BR>
Mike Loasby, they should have had a crisp sheen to
them, which is <BR>
achieved by sandpaper of anything over 80 grit. Coarse
scotch-brite will <BR>
do the same job (never use steel wool). If you balls
it up, just go over <BR>
it again - there's not a lot of mistakes you can
actually make which <BR>
will cause no more problems that wasting time! Just
remember not to push <BR>
hard on the bonnet when you're brushing it.<BR>
<BR>
My favourite product, which made a real difference to
my car, was a can <BR>
of stainless steel cleaner/polisher that Paul Salsbury
discovered. Paul, <BR>
weren't you going to get a few cans?<BR>
