Broken wire

[Midnight Blue]

Hi - just found a broken wire that should be attached to tailgate strut. Lights all work so I guess it is an earth?? Any ideas about fixing it please as the wire doesn't seem to have any play in it?

Thanks

WTF?

The wire will be for the brake light mounted in the boot lid. Have a search about it and you should find more info on it. I can't help much from my phone, sorry.

Get some more wire and splice together.

Thanks guys. Have already established it was brake light with the aid of a fishing umbrella!! Now on way to look for a piece of wire!!!

Is that a oh so slightly illegal number plate I spy there? tut tut do we allow that on this forum :grin:

 

[Midnight Blue]

it's illegal on 3 counts ........

I don't get it. What's it meant to say? I see lots of weirdly bodged number plates that seem to be gibberish. Why would you bother with it if the only thing it does is get you pulled by the police?

I can't possibly say what I thought it said at first glance! Not on a family forum anyways!

lol It's an L for Walker ...... not an N

I count 4

What's the 4th? Space between X and W, the Puma badge and no maker name.

The British Standard (currently BS AU 145d) isn't on it either.

 

[Midnight Blue]

Didn't have one of those on the legal one!!!

Ah, glad it wasn't just me then! At first glance, that's what it screams!!!

So a 5 is an A then? Christ, it's worse than txt spk.

With the absence of a 41 plate it will have to do!

If you look closely at the pictures of my "millie" you can probably see that my plate is illegal too.

Never worked out what all the fuss was about, if you can read it that should be enough, all this b******s about must have makers name, bs standard, correct spacing, upright letters only, certain size letters only etc etc etc.

Wonder how many local police actually know what is legal and what isn't anyway

BTW I was with "oilburner" but then if you are an "x" one why not advertise it :grin:
Oh and I count 5 wrongs........car should be yellow :lol:

I have driven Pumas since 2006 and never had a legal plate for more than a few weeks. I have probably been called the N version on many occasions when idiot drivers have p155ed me off :-D
