Hey,
I have a '91 ET2 that has been running fine but since about January the front and rear bulbs keep blowing.
Ive replaced them a load of times but the then proceed to blow again after a few days/weeks.
The brake light never blows, only the tailight.
I know the headlights and taillight are not on the fused circuit and I have noticed that both bulbs can be loose in the socket.
could it be that one bulb moves and breaks the circuit, thus sending all the AC power to the remaining bulbs and blowing it?

Also, Im having to kick start it most of the time lately, is that just a knackered spark plug?

Thanks for any help!
