having searched the forum i cannot find the thread, and i cannot remember who she was

 

but some months ago there was a lady on here looking for the rare wide light switch for her escort for the MOT

 

one has just come up on e-bay

Excellent memory an great spotting. Its really good and kind when members take this trouble. It may have been months but its taken me years to find certain things so Lizzy could very well need this switch more than ever. Well done!

Thank you very much to Vista for alerting me to this thread!

 

I've been 'off air' for a while a) due to starting a new job (temporary but involving a very long commute)  trying to finish a distance learning course I have to complete by August 10th - yes, last minute dot com! and c) because I've finally got demoralised about my Escort, after an endless stream of set-backs!!! I did manage - FINALLY - to squeeze her through an MOT, but OMG - what a nightmare. After working my way through the 3-page list of faults I was served, and the wheel nut saga, and several bodges later, she has a temporary light switch, and wipers that kind of work, but now HMRC are being (insert rude word) about letting me register her in this country. Anyway, that's another story... could I post a question somewhere about that somewhere? (they never answer the phone, so I can't ask them). Oh, and the person who offered to do my bodywork (i.e., proactively put a card on my Cortina's windscreen at a show) has disappeared.... So, overall, may I be forgiven for feeling a bit demoralised? :(

 

But re. the light switch, I have just seen that the one on eBay is already £46.50, and so Cortinabully's shed offer is looking very attractive right about now. Yes please!!
