Re: alarm fault
Sorry if you already know this, but you don't arm the system from that switch. It's used to disarm the interior sensors before leaving the car (in case pets (or the kids :oops: ) are left inside) To do this, you switch off ignition and before a 45 second window has elapsed, press and hold the button...

Re: 406 Executive - Alarm ECU location
If you're looking for part no 1 on either diagram, it is indeed behind the glovebox clipped onto the side of a plastic tray.

Re: not 406 related..
Might not be so sinister lozz... If the fail was only just a fail last time, taking into account it was tested on another machine a year later, the second machine may be calibrated slightly differently and it just passed. However, I'm a born cynic, so I think your original assumption is probably cor...

Re: side airbag connector
I'm not seeing any SRS connectors on that pic...... :?: Anyway, Side airbag connector is blue. Seat belt pre tensioner (if you have them) is brown. Don't confuse with the larger brown connector under there which is for seat heating. They look like this.... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/ma...

Re: Engine Immobiliser Fault
Thankfully never had this problem on mine (yet) but you are going to need all the access you can get down there to effect repairs properly. Trying to struggle underneath a partly folded back carpet will make the job very frustrating indeed...... I'd suggest planning a full weekend for this job and t...

It's no quicker with memory though! Only difference is you don't have to keep the manual switches pressed while you're doing it....

Re: Brake light fuse...
In that case, disconnect the cruise wiring completely from the fuse. If your brake light operation then returns to normal, you've narrowed down the fault to the newly added cruise circuit and gives you something to aim at.

Re: Brake light fuse...
If the right brake light works normally (on and off), then there's no problem with the switch. (I take it you're referring to the brake light switch and not the cruise cancel switch.) It sounds like somewhere between switch and left hand brake circuit, you have a dead short to earth. What else was d...

Re: Side repeaters
Vosa's MOT manual says this:
Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must
be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each
side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater
might be part of the front direction indicator if it
includes a wraparound lens.

Re: Home Electrical advice query not car not motorbike
What trip rating does your RCD in the house have? If it's say 100mA , or even 30 mA, see if you can get a really tightly monitored RCD for the spur you want to put in. Say 10 mA. This way, only the 10mA RCD should trip in the event of an earth fault on that spur, leaving the rest of the installation...
