Hey everyone.

I didn't realise but my MOT (uk car test) ran out last week and i've got it booked in again for tomorrow. great you may think. alas,no.

I have no rear fog because for some reason the light on the dash lights up but no light out the back (its housed in the drivers side reverse light. the bulb is fine and theres power to the switch but no power to the light.

Also, my horn isnt working. the wire has snapped. I dont know how but it has and It'll fail. where on earth does it connect in the engine bay???

finally...anyway i can adjust the handbrake myself??

god damn my bad luck!

All I know is for the handbrake, remove the console that covers the handle and there'll be a tensioning bolt. You just twist it to increase or decrease tension on your handbrake cable.

Well for the wiring to the horn I wouldint try and trace it in the harness Id just run 2 wires hook one to a good ground and one up to the wire underneath the dash for the horn and that way its directly connected.

For the rear fog :? not really sure if itll work but I was thinking you could do the exact same thing as i suggested for the horn however for now id get another switch one that just has a positive input and another for the pos input of the light then ground the light and voila if that will be allowed to pass I am unsure since I dont live overseas but thats mainly it. hope it helps

check your HORN/TAIL lamp fuse located in the engine bay fuse box
