Next it was time to plug in A2J3. This connector had two badly burnt pins which I will replace and two wires that had been hard-wired to the rectifier board. I new Trifurcon pins on all of them. The result... backbox GI! Looks like I got a few lamps out ;)

It's not often (okay, never) that I've stood underneath my car, looking up at its bottom...

It sounded sick, so I took it to the garage and those nice Kwik-Fit fitters invited me to have a look once they'd made their diagnosis. This apparently, is my back box, and was in imminent danger of dropping off - as they ably demonstrated by wiggling it back and forth as I (rather unwisely) stood beneath it.

Lighter of pocket to the tune of £50, I am now the proud owner of a new back box, and my car is back on form...

It isn't screwed into place yet and I haven't re-fitted the safety guard as I still need access to test voltages, etc. At the stage I have only replaced the A2J2 connector which has the mains power coming in and general illumination (GI) going out to the cabinet.

Clamping a board against the delaminating backbox wood after filling with wood glue. My cat Doodle is supervising.
