Check the wiring to the alternator and the starter motor, including the
engine earths. There is a group of wires that connect between the
alternator and starter which are exposed and can corrode. The engine bay
earths should be fine, but are worth checking.
Also check the health of the battery.

Steve

Hello Everyone
Thank you for your replies. Particularly for the steer about what it was
from and where one could be obtained, I was able to track one down quite
easily after that.
Thanks also for the offer bilje55 but I had already ordered one by the time
you posted otherwise I would have taken you up your kind offer. Do you have
any electric window switches by the way? you did say that you had some H4
parts going as you did not have an H4 anymore?
I have done a little wriggling (with the plug that is) and stuck some
gaffer tape over it to keep it still and so far all is well.
That being almost sorted, the new one is due to arrive on Wednesday. Did
anyone following this exchange of messages have any ideas about the
occasional starting fault (see the first email)? Please let me know if you
do.
I will now try to find the bloody WD 40, a suitable job for Sunday
afternoon.

Hello Everyone
I am experiencing a problem with my nearside rear bulb holder on my H4i ,
number 59 fitted with 1.8 zetech engine. The indicator was malfunctioning
as were the other attached lamps. It failed the MOT because the garage said
that there was a very bad earth connection. It was an advisory note. I
should like to replace it for reliability reasons.
Where does it come from? Is it a Ford part that came from the donor car?
Has anyone had to obtain one and if so where did they get it from? Has
anyone got one that I could buy from them?
There is also an occasional fault now when starting the car. When turning
the ignition key to start the engine it does not catch and it clicks quite
quickly while the immobiliser light flashes in unison. So far it has
started in the end but is it related or is there some difficulty with the
ignition or the immobiliser?
If anyone has any answers or comments would you please let me know, I have
in the past had some excellent helpful advice from here.
*ALL THE BEST*
