    Fixed indicator issue, where I spliced in the signal from the alarm to flash indicators it sends the signal to both indicators when in use. I’ve disabled the flasher signal from the alarm for now. Not sure at the mo where to wire this in now tho.
    Also can see a small grease leak so needs a new clip.

    Default Mk2 Breeze Blue project

    So had this running for a week and seems good, sadly been ill for the whole of this week so haven’t used it. Done some shopping tho. I noticed that most of the bulbs had gone on the dials so ordered up some LEDs. When I fitted them they didn’t work. It seems where they clamp into the plastic on the back of the dash that is the electrical contact, where it touches the pcp it has no electric going to that point!! I’ve just ordered some original ones with removable bulbs instead.
    Even with the standard 501 bulb I tried swapping for a LED and it doesn’t work on the dash so can only assume it isn’t getting enough watts to power it? It did work straight off the battery tho.

    Also had a window lifter switch fail on me just after I sold my spare but decided to buy a Corsa B one and soldered it to the Nova plug. Works great and even works in the right direction with the top button going up and bottom down. In the picture the Corsa one is on the right. Il be ordering another to make both operate the same.

    Remember LED only work one way round so try turning them 180degrees and see if they work.
    If you put a 501 sidelight bulb in the wrong way round it won’t work

    So got the car to it’s first meet this week and met some of the locals and their cars.
    I’ve finally managed to get some LED’s for the dash so their in and working. I’ve also converted the 2nd Corsa B window switch into the nova so now working in sync with the other.
    when I was putting this back together I damaged the ignition barrel and had to use a different barrel meaning 2 keys, but thanks to the guys at the meet I never knew nor never tried to re keyed a barrel before!! Thought it would Need special tools and skills.
    But 20 minutes later and I’m back to a single key for the hole car.
    Still need to work out earth issues on the fuel sender and central locking and I’ve picked up an aftermarket tachometer as I’ve yet to discover what the Burnt out resister was on the Sri clocks.

    I’ve got a set of mk2 clocks I think, your welcome to them for parts as the tabs have been cut off I thin as someone fitted them in a mk1.
    Be better than running after market rev counter.

    Any pics of the LEDs? Thinking of going down this route with mine, they any good?

    il try get you a picture later when it’s darker, be more effective. Send us a picture of the clocks in messager if you can Stuart as I may be able to use the circuit board from the speedo if it’s the same.
