As yet the problem has not reappeared, and all electrics are working as they should. Do you really think that I should take all the front off? What would I then be looking for. I am disturbed to hear of instances of fire, is this likely to happen? His many 75’s have had this happen. Should I lay the car up or even get it taken for scrap? Clearly don’t want to risk a fire. Taking the car to the mainland is not a realistic option for all sorts of reasons, but do the experts really think that I am in danger using this car, which has run well for the last two days, with no issue. I welcome further thoughts. Thanks

As I said, when my LSM played up I took it out and noticed very slight corrosion on the socket pins. As this corrosion is usually the result of a trace of moisture getting in I sprayed the pins and the circuit board with a fine coating of WD 40.--This stops any further corrosion.

The LSM has been working well for several years now with no more problems.----


PS. Stop worrying about a fire. There are lots of things on cars that can cause a fire but very rarely do. Your car seems now to be behaving itself. I'm sure it will continue to do so.---
