  1. Note that there are two different cappings. The narrower one is for the drop head top only. For the Surrey and hard top the capping is wider so that the front of the Surrey can tuck underneath. You may well have to ease up the front lip of a new capping so that the front of the Surrey soft top can tuck underneath fully. The wider capping can also be used for the drop head top. They do get marked and scratched over time but yours does look a bit 'tired' at the ends. Keith
  2. I have a cigarette lighter socket under the dash on my TR into which I can plug a USB socket. I have a tyre inflater that can plug into the cigarette lighter socket and a phone that can plug into the USB. Obviously could not plug both in at same time but unlikely to want to do that. Retaining the cigarette lighter socket allows me both options. Keith
  3. I have found it helps to put the coil of trim in a bucket of hot water. Put some washing up liquid on your finger and rub it along the rubber. Then with trim warmed up it should fit easily. Keith p.s. assuming you have correct trim!
  4. Hi Phil Referring to your top photo, the central disc arrowed in yellow should have a 1.5mm hole in it approx 10mm from centre and 20mm from the edge. It looks like a new centre on yours held in place by the R clip. Mine is original held in place by a star lock washer. The hole is there as a breather hole. A 1.5mm hole drilled anywhere on the inner raised part would suffice. Keith
  5. Hi Phil There is a rubber anti-rattle ring on the fuel level float but that is O-ring shape without a groove. Is it the remains of a seal to the fuel cap? The gasket seal to the sender is flat so wrong shape. I think Stuart and Mike might be right. The seal between the filler neck and the deck although profile not quite as I remember. Keith
  6. Take relay off car. Put power across W1 and W2 and you should hear the relay click on and off if it is working. You could just put the meter across C1 and C2 to check that power across W1 and W2 switches C1 to C2. If you tell us what numbers and letters are stamped on the relay then we can identify what you have. If it works on the bench then refit to car and check wiring. Your relay should be the 'normally open' type. 6RA is simply a generic number for a range of relays. The numbers starting 33 or SRB identify which is which. Keith
  7. There have been a few comments on the forum about glare from oncoming cars with LED headlights. Several people I know have virtually given up driving at night because of the glare from headlights. The RAC has just asked the government to take action following a survey that 85% of drivers feel that glare from headlights is getting worse and the blame is aimed at LED headlamps. Since it is unlikely that the government will take any action on LEDs then the alternative is for the driver to wear anti-glare driving glasses. I have looked online and there seem to be a few available with a yellow
