Waved from the black Astra going the other way. 

I didn’t know there is a Devon Cranbrook. 🤔

No, this is the one in Kent.

Hi Ian

I'm guessing that was multiple posts from my phone.

Thanks to whoever cleaned them up 

Spotted from my office window 

Cheeky parking spot perfect for a 7 

Hi Ian,  

Yes I still have it.  Running sweetly now (famous last words). 

Inspired me to get home and do the 7 oil change.

I was giving you a  from the black Astra convertible.

Lovely evening for it 

I was in the Red Superlight heading the other way   

Waved and  from black Astra.

Yes, I think I would have regretted turning back and getting the 7 and completing our journey to Tonbridge at that speed.  (Not sure what the traffic lights were for either).  

Early mornings seem to be the only way.

in traffic a few cars ahead of us.

Made me want to turn around and get ours

Hi Ian 

I’m in the first building as you turn into Bircholt Road opposite the Seat/Infiniti dealership.  Only over there now and again though.

Lots of nice cars passing through the day from the place down the end.  Still more excited by the odd seven heading down there though 

Gave you a  and  outside my office as you went passed.

Just before 16:00 today.

I gave a  from a silver Suzuki Jimny.

Hi SteG 

Many thanks for checking 

Hi Jonathan,

I've checked my blatmail/email and not seen any diagrams from you, but many thanks anyway.

I was using a copy of the build manual that I scanned way back nearer the time that I built the car.  The electrical schematic doesn't mention the brake switch.  It never occurred to me that it would be on the engine harness schematic - and quite frankly still doesn't make sense! 

The reason that I mentioned the separate fuse is that 2 of my 3 owners handbooks (it was an early sigma after all, so documents were scarce) show that Fuse A = Brake Lights 7.5A and Fuse B = Reverse Light 5A. 

Thanks all and hopefully out in the car this week 

Hi Martin,

I think you're right.  I will get a replacement and add the original to my radiator collection. 

Thanks for checking that Jim 

Great news for the car, but not so good for my sanity 

Good to know as the sigma seems to have been wired a bit differently with a separate fuse (even the build manual schematic doesn't show the brake light switch unlike diagrams for other models).

Spare brake light switch is now fitted  and not melting and ready to go 

Time to look into an alternative switch as suggested.

Thanks all.
