|
I just purchased a Lagonda #13316 last week, the car has very low mileage (20,000) and is in great shape. However I have the side lamp relay that is stuck and I need to purchase a new one, does any one know where I could find a replacement relay. The car will be driven like all the cars in our museum (www.tbauto.org), please look at the website as you will discover cars you are not familiar with.
Thank you;
Olivier Cerf |

Hi Olivier,
Congratulations on your purchase!
David Marks in the UK has a suitable replacement relay. The side lights relay is the most used and so will be the first to fail. It seems the original relay was never designed for the temperature and vibration it receives on the car, the replacement relay has the same sort of spec and so is not any better, but also no worse!
Alternative (cheat) would be to swap out the one from the heated rear window, or put the modern replacement in this place where it is hidden.
