my xflow brake lights do not work - it would appear there is not wiring to the relay - can anyone inform me as to where the wiring is likely to be routed from the relay to the loom/where it goes through bulkhead or if it come off the main wiring as it runs into the engine bay - I am at a loss ???

thanks for the prompts
problem sorted
it seems that when i was fiddling under the dash to remove my windscreen stanctions i must have moved a bit of dodgy wiring so i traced the positve for the fuel pump (not facet) back to under the dash and re did the connection
hey presto !!
started first time then went for a quick 1/2 mile run just to make sure but have a couple of other minor problems to sort now

lots to be going on with there - thanks
will check out the make of pump - it also just so happens that I lifted the front of the car by 18" or so to get underneath 3 evenings ago but i cannot believe this had an effect of fueling - will make a note re the fuses.

Thanks for the info
since posting i have removed the pump which is 12v and attached it to a suitable power source to here it wizzing away !! so for some reason in the last 3 days power has decided to not travel to it - so i will keep looking - i have since found a blown fuse but have no idea what it relates to - presumably Caterham put this info in writing in the build maunal (which i do not have YET)

Reckon its a fuel problem as the pipe into the carb is dry so went back to the fuel pump and its getting into there
so
how can i tell if the pump is knackered ? just got the car - can u hear it when u turn ignition usually ?? - is there any way of getting fuel up there with a primer or something
any tips or help gladly received
thanks

thanks for info - will give them a try
I think thats illegal but down here on the Isle of Wight I have to say I have done this many times - but I just think everyone is used to it because there are so many farmers/smallholders/etc driving around with someone elses trailer/incorrect no plates/busted lights !!!
Looking for any info re how this translates into performance - reliability - etc
Looking at a car which has this conversion - does not seem to be a problem as far as insurance goes but has anyone lived with it ??
Jai
do not mean to hijack the thread - but that make of towbar - have u any details ?
I am looking for one for my A4 Avant - must be similar
local Audi delaer wanted over 600 quid and reckoned best part of a day to fit !! seemed very unreasonable to me
thanks

Looking at buying a car that may need new wheels
however in order to get it home and before i make that decision i may need to replace two wheels for the journey
Q. what spec is required and can i utilise a couple of wheels (balanced up of course) temproarily off of a different vehicle - perhaps non Caterham ?
any info would be appreciated
