Re: [doc] My door... and more



Martin,

On my Calibra, when the car is stationary, if I turn on either the left or
right indicator with the ignition off one headlight will come on (well,
sidelight). Apparantly at some point in the past it was illegal to park a
car without it's "parking" light on.... I think it's supposed to be the side
closest to the centre of the road... in other words. Waste of time.

Cheers,

Dan

PS If the weather is rubbish I'll be there is saturday.. if it's good I'll
be tracing my clutch system to a leak.... (but I won't have Hana there
either way.. no headlights either!)
