Hello all!



To all those who read this, please bear with me for a couple of minutes...



I've been away for a while, and I shall be away for another while very shortly,

but for the moment I'm back and I'd like to make a couple of changes to my

baby, Miko.



The first thing I should say is that I'm not very experienced at mechanics.  I've 

done a couple of *very* minor things to my 11-year old Renault in the past, 

but we're talking about my Miata now!  I need some guidelines to do something

quite simple.



Here in the UK, we have the automatic popping lights whenever you switch on

the sidelights.  I'd like to stop the automatic pop.  I have no doubt whatsoever

that this has been posted before, probably a dozen times, but I've not seen it

so I need a bit of help.



I own the MX-5 Enthusiast's workshop manual, so finding things inside the

engine is not a major problem, but I don't know where to start.



If _anyone_ could email me with some guidelines on how to do this, I would

be massively grateful.  Please mail it direct, rather than to the list (unless there

are dozens of other requests for this info..!!). I just hope it's not horribly

complex to do!!



Thanks in advance, people!  Happy driving now the Spring is here!!



Spike
