New to SOC

[LeechyFairview]

Hi, joined the SOC in November at the NEC show, no car at the moment but on the lookout, viewing one in Manchester today.

If anyone knows of others for sale "Up North" then please advise.

Having difficulty navigating this website at the moment but I will get there.

Welcome to the forum. Joining before you get your car gets you off to a good start. I hope we can help you get a good one.

Welcome.

Have you found the Cars For Sale section on the main website. There is a red one in Cheshire, Inca Yellow and Brown Stags in Worcestershire and a Tahiti one in W. Yorkshire. All within reasonable travelling distance of Cumbria.

Welcome to the club and the forum.

There is a useful buyers guide on the main website if you haven't found it already. http://www.stag.org.uk/index.aspx?pid=18

But it can be really useful to see if one of the members in your area can go with you to look at the car. Many have restored these cars and know exactly what to watch out for.

Kind regards
Ian

Sorry Sam, yes its Andrew.

[LeechyFairview]

Yes, going to look at the Cheshire one today.

I like the Tahiti Blue in W Yorks but a little more than I wanted to pay unfortunately.

[LeechyFairview]

Thanks for the info Ian, yes got some info and taking someone "experienced" with me today.

If you're up near Carlisle, you can spend a bit of time with mine which will give you an idea of what to expect and what to, perhaps, avoid. Obviously we would have to take it out for a blast!
Good luck

hi guys I am also new to the forum but have been restoring my stag over the last 6 years getting close now to the finish but having problems with the electrics, no indicators work. front work on hazards but not the back no brake lights. no revers lights, but side lights work anyone got any ideas cheers les

Hi Les. Rear bulb holders are notoriously rubbish, even new ones I have come across dont work. I now repair the old ones by soldering the earth spring contact to the body if thats any help?

PS: Best to start your own thread to get more help.
Cheers

Hi Les,

Welcome to the Forum, although I'd agree with Chris that it'll probably be best for you if you start a new post.

With those electrics not working it could be all sorts of things but one thing I'd mention is that the hazard switch, when operated, interrupts the feed to the normal indicators. It would be worth checking that the hazard switch is fully returned and that the feed to the indicators is re-established.

Good luck

Cheers

Julian
