Hi All! So I may have done something a bit too spontaneous and bought (not to be collected for a couple of weeks) an unfinished robin hood 2B that appears to be complete, minus a brake master cylinder and a dash board by the looks of it. its never been on the road and to be honest it looks like its never been driven at all! it doesn't start but have to take it as it does work from the current owner but seems to have an electrical issue at present that ill bypass to check this when its with me. it has no paperwork at all so will end up on a Q plate I assume (could keep it for track but would like to road register it really) I do intend to pretty much take it apart and put it back together again for my own piece of mind but I don't know how necessary that is. would be great if any of you could point me in the right direction for advice ( or where to source a master cylinder!) how I go about identifying the engine and gearbox (was told its a 2.0 pinto with sierra running gear) or any body's thoughts on the project good bad or indifferent I would appreciate it. Many thanks in advance for all the questions I'm likely to ask!

Are you sure ? This a quote from Car Builder Solutions (I know they are trying to sell their module, but I would be surprised if they weren't telling the truth: NEW IVA REAR FOG RULES In June 2013 the rules for switching on and off your Rear Fog Lights changed. Now, the Rear Fog lamps must only be lit when the Dipped Beam, Main Beam or Front Fog lamps are lit. The Rear Fog Lamps may continue to operate until the other lights are switched off. The rear fog lamps must then remain off, even if the other lights are switched on again, until they are deliberately switched on again. This is to prevent people driving off to work in the morning with the rear fog lights glaring after forgetting to switch them off the foggy evening before.

And as far as I'm aware, they must NOT turn back on next time the headlights are switched on, you have to have some sort of latching system. Having said that, this requirement was introduced relativley recently so many of our cars to not need to comply.
