News I hoped never to post

Hi Stef,
I've sent you a pm, is the headlight lift module available?
If it's still on the car you'll find it behind and to the left of the expansion tank, I think there are only 2 screws holding it in place on the bulkhead.

Cheers Jon.

It looks identical to the esprit headlight module, I have a spare one in the garage if you want the numbers, or is it the same p/n as this one on ebay?

Jon:

The controller is common to a lot of GM cars from the late '80s thru the mid '90s. Look to the WikiLEC for all the details you need about sourcing a replacement.

They are known to fail if the alternator is overcharging or somehow you hook up the battery backwards or jump it with a high voltage source.

They ARE repairable and use common parts. Bad solder joints are also common. see viewtopic.php?f=35&t=21475&p=270109#p270109

If you are still in need and don't mind waiting for delivery, I can get you a tested, used module for around $40.00 to $45.00 + postage to you. You should be able to get yours fixed for less than that.

£100.00 is crazy

Apologies I've been a bit off radar for a while as world went crazy here.

Still have to remove the remaining parts and get rid of the car. I'll list up bits available once done, hopefully in next couple months.

Thanks!
