I've a near side front spot and rear fog not working. Checked bulbs and fuses, all are okay. Any pearls of wisdom. The car is a 1995 4/4.
Cheers

Bad earth? Are the brackets (if forming the earth) clean/tight?
If there is an earth lead is this connected/clean/tight?

Good result!
Considering the numbers of ageing( relative to ordinary cars) Morgans I think it is worth doing checks on the wiring. Several years of use with vibration, moisture etc builds up. Connectors can corrode/work loose. Hence poor earths in particular.
Earlier this year I had a wingtop sidelight fail on the 2002 car. . It was a corroded bullet connector. I replaced it with spades and sealed the joint. The joint was under the wing exposed to spray from the wheel. I did a change on the other side too as a precaution. 15 years/ 50k+ miles....no wonder!
The previous car was a1993 4/4. Earths failed causing starting problems. 17+ years for what looked like original cables/ fittings......no wonder!
Same for the fuel system......rubber flexi pipes for pre ethanol petrol, filters( lack of to protect the pump), mucky tank interior.....the 4/4 suffered from this but sorted fairly easily by flushing/replacing etc..
