I'm about to have a rather large throw out of BX electrical bits, i'm rapidly loosing favour with storage facility (dads' garage!). This is a typical example of what i'm talking about, though there is more than this;

Box1

Box2

Hi Vanny,

I'd be interested in the multi-switch (white circle) and possibly the green circled foglamp switch. I'd like to fill the little switch panel on the right hand side of the steering column -the one that is low down at about the same level as the dash lighting contol - do these switches and any others you have fit that little oblong panel ?

Cheers,
Brian.

Yes, they will do. There is still space for another switch (a man can never have enough switches!) which on mine has the light for the trailer indicator flasher bulb.
I'd be interested in some of your relays please Vanny, I'm after 4 standard and one changeover (5 pin) for a little project I have on the go...

(a man can never have enough switches!)

My thoughts entirely

Thanks for confirming for me that these are the right switches for the little panel.

I recognise the problem

Long time back I had the chance of some electronics kit at a very good price but nowhere to put it so I asked dad if there was any space in his workshop. "Tell you what" he said, "I do have some space spare to store MY wheelbarrow"

which I took as a subtle hint that I should perhaps return it

And on the same theme... working for the MOD in the late 60s, a workmate came up to me and said "Do you know the difference between 'recall' and 'recollect' ? " I had no reply and asked for clarification. "Well" he said, "I recall lending you my sidecutters but I don't recollect you returning them"

Would you happen to have a spare hazard warning switch ?

I do have a few, i haven't pictured them as i know one of them is broken/failed but i have no way to check it. I think i have a grey one, a brown one and a black one. What colour do you need?

Hi Vanny,

Something very strange is going on with private messages...

Your original message didn't get through - no worries

Your second one did

I replied last night to that one

This morning I checked my outbox - last night's message not there

Sent new reply this morning

Immediately check my outbox to confirm it was sent

Opened the sent message - It contained the text from last night's message ! !

The date and time sent were correct for this morning but the text was the message I sent last night !

So... whoever is sorting that lot out - the very best of luck

PS I also sent you a message to explain as above - but that didn't appear in the outbox hence posting here instead.

I don't have a clue, all this electrickery and computing is all done by smoke and magic anyway! You should have a PM from me too Mr Vanny, it's sat in my outbox now.

I've PM'd you about what happened, its simply a trick of the light, i received both messages just fine, its an important difference between the 'SentBox' and the 'OutBox' in the PM system!

lateestate, i have two in black, one is definately broke, the other is a total unknown. If you can wait till next week then i'll check them?

Jacksun, I think your asking about the plip receiver that lives in the roof. I think i have a receiver, but i don't have the matching plip, so i dont think this is of any use to you. There are instructions online on how to convert to an RF plip from Maplins. This would give you greater range, greater reliability and you wouldn't need a matching pair (you program the plip to the car). Try searching within the forum.

I've updated with a second box, i'll try to delete out parts people have snaffled over the weekend.
