Goodridge stainless braided brake lines are the standard in professional motorsports where the ultimate in braking is required. The kits feature the finest quality hose, consisting of a PTFE inner with a stainless steel outer braid. This eliminates the spongy feel under arduous conditions, giving much greater braking efficiency or clutch operation as well as providing superior resistance to abrasion and corrosion. These car hose kits, therefore, not only provide the reliability, performance and safety demanded but offer brilliant good looks that improve the appearance of any installation. With the largest application listing of any company and an unmatched reputation backed by champions worldwide, there is no reason to choose anyone else.

10% MEMBER DISCOUNT ON ALA FIVE STAR GAP INSURANCE GAP Insurance covers the shortfall between what you paid for your vehicle and the insurance pay out should you be unfortunate enough to make a total loss claim. If your vehicle is stolen, involved in an accident or damaged by fire or floods and your insurance company declares it a write off, they will settle at the value of the vehicle at the time, this can leave you out of pocket by thousands of pounds. A brand new car can lose up to 70% of its value in the first three years alone, while a second-hand car can lose as much as 20% in the first six months, giving you an idea of the financial impact a write off could have.

Maybe easier to strip down and repaint yourself...going to do that on mine as it seems to be suffering from the same malady

Worth checking the light clusters for corrosion...but as the indicators are working on the hazard switch then its doubtful that there is an issue with them as the hazards come from a different power source than the indicators....so yes you may be right with the footwell unit diagnosis

Hi Mark....welcome to the Forum It sounds like one of two things....first one is that you have the wrong bulb(s) check that if the bulb holder has one or two contact points then the bulb should have the same amount also. Secondly, if the earth connections are poor then this could also produce the same effect....try running an additional earth wire to the side of the bulb and see it that cures it. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers . Trevor

let us know how it all goes and would love to see a piccy of it
