Thank you all and especially Dan for taking the time and giving me pointers on how to make the most of the transmission. I have always been a manual kinda guy and this is my first 'automatic' car. The whole idea of changing gears without depressing a clutch is nothing less than witchcraft to me haha.   That has definitely been helpful. I did take it on a motorway run to see how it fares and try out the OD. I noticed acceleration (60 to 70mph) isn't as quick in OD as it is in *. But very comfortable drive and overtaking happens without issues. As for the mpg. I will fill her up and see how many miles I can cover until half tank and do some calculations.

So I'm a new owner of an Acclaim triomatic :) Today on my journey to work I decided to drive in L rather than the usual * I drive in and noticed the revs are much higher in * than L. I have read the manual and it says * is more economical which confused me as my understanding is the higher the revs the more fuel you use 🤔. The max speed I can do on this commute is 40mph. Am I supposed to change to * after a certain speed? I know the max you can stay in * is 50mph. I'd appreciate anyone who can shed some light on this. Many thanks

Thank you for your prompt and detailed reply. As far as I can tell the wiring is standard without any fuses or relays. Is the indicator/high beam stalk connected to the light switch which is on the dashboard? Also would you happen to know what colour the wires are the dipped beam for me trace and check? I will take the plastic cover off from the steering column and have a look for any signs of melted plastic and burnt wires.

Hello, The headlights on my '74 Toledo stopped working. Sidelights come on fine and with stalk the high beam comes on as well just the main beam doesn't seem to work anymore. Any suggestions on what might be the problem or does anyone have a wiring diagram to check the wires? Many Thanks
