RE: [doc] Bulbs/lights/problems?

["Richard" <dickyh11@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Take out your bulbs and take them to any motor shop for comparison.
Can't remember the values off the top of my head - completely bog
standard, they should have them to match. 

Brake light - the fluid in your reservoir is probably a bit low. Top it
up DOT4 standard brake fluid. The loss of fluid is probably due to
normal brake wear but best to check around the bottom of your brake
servo, and brakes for any leaks.

Clicking could be caused by a number of things: something stuck on a
wheel/disc is the likely culprit. Does it go if you pull on the
handbrake a bit? Check your wheel nuts, you might have a slightly loose
wheel. If it's coming from the drivers side front wheel, your angle
drive/speedo cables may be failing or in need of lubrication.

Bah, put the mileage on it! It's a car not an ornament :)
