Not so cold and damp outside today, so thought I'd do a few checks - obvious first, bulbs okay.

Jiggled around in the engine bay, and when I touched the loom that goes down the side of the engine from the big round plug (outboard of the 2) the engine stopped. Disconnected and checked terminals, plugged all back in and  reversing lights working again. Jiggling the loom doesn't cause a problem now.

Any ideas as to what else is within this loom? I'm assuming engine auxiliaries, lambdas, gearbox switch, etc..... are the rear wheel sensor wires in there, or do they go another route inside the car? I won't know about the TC problem until I've done a few miles in it.

If I recall correctly, CE esquire was a follow up to the Budgie series, but didn't get broadcast due to some kind of industrial dispute, and then when that was over it wasn't aired. This is back in the day before even Channel 4 was created.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't - really only notice when reversing into the driveway at night, so have to use my rear foglights to guide me instead. I'm guessing there's s switch on the gearbox somewhere and then hardwired to the rear cluster? Any pointers as to where it's best to look first?

The TC light comes on after about 25 miles when the car's warm and has been driven. Whilst it's still warm / warmish, the TC light comes on after about 3 miles. So with 6 days a week sat on the damp driveway nothing is amis until the first 25 miles. The roads have been dry today on a 60 miles round trip.

I'm not erger to get under the car until the weather gets better - I can live with the niggles for now, but would be good to have something to go at when I feel inclined and am prepared.

I remember buying 12 blackjacks for a shilling (1d each) but when we went decimal, they were 1/2 new pence each, so for the equivalent 5p / old shilling, you only ended up with 10 - somebody profited from the kids spending money.    ???
