[m1c]

found hangin under the bonnet draggin on the floor....

 

 

i take it i need it? so where should it live and whats it actually do?

[oliwally]

looks like a ballast resistor could be wrong

[turbo-mike]

Dunno what it is called but to me it looks like the thing that is fitted under the panel that fits in front of the radiator, it makes the side lights brighter when the ignition on. So if it is that dont remove it just replace it.

What year was your car made?It looks like a dim dip resistor to me fitted to cars later than 87 d reg

[bortaf]

did cappas have dim dip then not come accross one before on them

they usually look like the resistor for the coil on Mk1 eskys (they do on transits anyhoo)

must have been well secured mind you the do get real hot i guess thats why it's on an ally mout to dissapate the heat, like ign moduals are
