Re: Door lights
I had the same problem when I bought my car in 2007. The door card wasn't pushing the switch in far enough. I glued a piece of packing to the back of the door card where the switch makes contact and all has been well since.

Re: NEC Restoration Show 2024 - Call for Volunteers
I did 3 days last year but am happy to step down this year to let someone else go.
If you are stuck for volenteers I am happy to do 2 days this year. Any 2 of the 3 days whatever suits you.

Re: Valvoline VR1 20W50 - £29.99

Still - might stock up at that price.
