G'day, List! A couple of questions for you all this morning:

1. At our club's monthly meeting last night, another member was asking me if I 
knew whether an OD solenoid (A-type for a 3A), once shorted, is repairable. 
Given the high cost for such a simple device (no computer chip technology 
here!), is there a possibility, or is that why they cost so much  - once 
'smoked', they're toast?

2. After a long winter's hibernation, my TR6 is back on the roads of Ottawa. 
After doing the standard season preps, I also checked the lights. I have a 
strange problem in my front left turn signal (I have a '76): the two bulbs 
alternate their flashing, in an 'emergency vehicle' kind of way. The other 3 
turn signals are fine. Is this a variant of the Lucas ground problem (99% of 
all lights are!)? I've heard of 'off', 'flicker' and 'dim' - but 'alternating'? 
A neighbour says he prefers that - could I get the passenger side to do it as 
well (funny guy, eh?).

Cheers, JD
