You know the stuff I mean, it looks like a feather boa! Anyway, twice now I've found it dragging out of the tailpipe, when it was absolutely fine when I'd started the journey (this morning being a trip of about fifteen minutes). Firstly, what would cause this to happen? Secondly, should I worry? Is it indicative of further issues? Thirdly, if it's not indicative, will cutting it off do any harm?

Love the car, love the write-up, but REALLY love that chip shop! Hopefully heading that way to see a friend in a few weeks, think we may have to pay a visit!

I've got a teeny battery-powered speaker (this one: s7v1.scene7.com/is/image/JohnLewis/231015340alt1?$product$ ) plugged into the iPod temporarily until I get the Granny's stereo fixed. Running at 70 with the sunroof open, I can still hear it fine, so I think a decent Bluetooth speaker like a Jawbone would work well.

My main retro loves are little buzzbombs and big barges, and I'd very strongly considered a Cinq Sporting before I bought the Granada. Now wondering if that was the right decision...

Not sure what the proper name is, but I always liked the Ford metallic red even before I bought the Granny.

A Citroen AX, with red paint faded to pink, a cracked headlight, gaffer tape holding the rear bumper together and a door mirror flapping about.

Ah, that Atlas one looks just the ticket. 1/43 means I can use O gauge scenic parts for the rest of the diorama, but 1/36 could work, I'd have to see what's available in that scale.

As per title, really. I have an idea for a diorama, and need a Mk2 Jag for it. Condition isn't really important, as I'm happy to repair or repaint if needed and it doesn't matter if it is plastic or metal. Anyone got one kicking about that they might be willing to let go for a reasonable sum?

Damn not winning the euro, I would have had that! I won it! Although the £13.10 I got might not quite stretch to the Interceptor

Anyone know where the car park is?

Well, my first thought was side lights, because both sides were on. But then I noticed it was only the fronts, not the rears. So it looks like both parking lights are on! Indicator stalk is off. Bulbs out, fuses in - results in buzzer still going and number plate light on. Bulbs in, fuses out - results in buzzer going and number plate light off. Now I'm also thinking buzzer relay, as it will occasionally go off for a few seconds... Headlight switch should just pull out, according to the manual, but can't get it to budge.

Came out of the house this morning, to see the Granada's parking lights on. I know they weren't on when I came home last night. Unlocked the car, the 'lights on' buzzer started, I checked the switch and it's off. Dips, beams & fogs all working fine. Turn switch back off, lights still on, buzzer still going. Pulled fuses, lights off, buzzer on. Checked fuseboxes, everything looks dry with no problems. Will pull fuse for the buzzer circuit next, and may have to pull the bulbs & replace fuses (that fuse is for number plate light too, and I don't want a tug), but what's the probable cause? First thought is a short in the switch?

Glad this is back in the RR fold. I almost bought it, but needed something I could use straight away.
