As Steve says, also check connections on battery and starter motor are clean and tight Bill

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.

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.

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.
