    Hi Folks
    Hope you can advise...
    After lamp failure I replaced lamp and starter like for like.
    Lamp lit but almost immediately went off again.

    It now only lights when I untwist the starter (as if to remove it) lamp will go unlit if I retwist in the starter. It won't STAY lit with the untwisted starter either!

    Am I lookin at replacing the entire fitting or adjusting the fitting contacts for the starter or what???

    Thanks!

    New starter needed


    You could try reusing your old starter, sometimes they are still ok

    The short term price... Ouch!
    Maybe when the green shoots turn into a bumper harvest!
    Thanks
