    With your high / low headlight dipper switch, the striker isn't throwing over completely and probably because it's pivot is dry.
    I seem to recall that the spring attached to the striker can get hot somehow lose it's temper and stretch.
    You could use the still working low dipper circuit to operate a headlight relay and that would be one way around the problem of current causing heat across the switch points.

    I have removed the item from the steering column again as my arms & T/A (wife) is not home, I have checked the wires and they all have continuity so that tells me they are not broken.
    I set the item up in the shed and sprayed it with Freon, gave it heaps then a quick squirt of Inox, it is now working with a positive audible click

    look @ Max the Sheltie checking things out for 'Digger' LOL, anyway it's pouring rain ATM and with the T/A not available so I guess I will just have to twiddle my thumbs cheers Dennis

    Flip, they're bright.

    As for the postie bikes. I love them. I was a motorcycle instructor for many years and got to play with these on the range while the students were inside learning stuff. Great little bikes and don't they make a great little hot rod (dammit, you'll have me salivating about bikes again).

    I've just seen the reflection in that mudguard. Is that a boat under that cover? Mate, with restoring Landys, bikes and fishing boats, you are definitely living the dream.
