Sadly the time has come to say goodbye to my pride and joy. My knees and hips will not allow me to get on/off easily. It's a UK spec but originally destined for Australia and ended up in South Africa (I have all tax discs from 76 and loads of other history including a magazine with it featured) it w...

Things of beauty, if only I had £970

Just want to thank the OP, my 900A4 had the exact same problem and the exact same cause. Tail light fuse problem sir? Check the wiring to the speedo lights simples!!! The wonders of elecktrickery. Saved me hours faffing around with looms/plugs so thanks.
