Brake light shorting solved.

Before going out to get a few extra fuses to replace the ones that blew, and to have spares, I took a quick look at the brake light switch again. Low and behold, it's as easy as turning a spanner 1/4 of a turn to rotate the switch out of harms way. Done and dusted, new fuses in, all lights working as they should. Now I hope that's the last issue I have before race season, but I know it isn't :-D.

How it was before, you can see how play in the clutch mount (standard, can't get rid of that) allows the two to touch, shorting out the switch and blowing the fuse.

How it is now, no chance of anything shorting on it, all is well, and no electrical tape!

Made a snowman...

When I went for a walk in the snow the other day, I just had to make a snowman!

SNOW!

The Caterham in the snow! So awesome, I just love snow (if you couldn't tell already...). I didn't take it out on the roads, with all the salt and grit out there it didn't seem worth the hassle!

I also went for a walk and took some scenic oxfordshire in the snow pictures, which will come about when I've edited them.

Mmmm snow

There's now almost 3 inches of snow on the ground :-D, I'll be waking up early tomorrow to take advantage of it! Picture time.

SNOW!

I love snow! Snow is pretty much the most awesome thing that comes from the sky, and finally this stupidly cold weather has paid off, and it's snowing!

Fuse failure found

Turns out the cotter pin that holds the clutch pedal to the clutch Master Cylinder shaft is in just the right place to occasionally short the brake light switch... Fixed with a little electrical tape, just need to get a few replacement fuses and it's good to go again. I'm glad I found the source, had it continued, that would have been a very very annoying black flag to receive in a race! I will see if I can master a non-electrical tape way to fix the issue.

Brake light fuse

I've been looking for the source of the brake light fuse blowing, maybe it's the cold, but I can't seem to find the issue. Must have to go deeper... look a little closer.
