Could be.
But the fuse board (especially the connectors) is known to be problematic, so maybe he has tried to fix something...?

Hmm, just removed the fuseboard now, saw to green wires on it, with singel connectors on it. one is connected, and the one on the other side is loose....

WHY...? Shocked

I would guess it is 41A on the wiring diagram, but none the wiser....

Yes, looks like 41A which is the rear lights.

German Murenas had a seperate fuse in the rear light circuit. It looks like yours is wired for that.

But your connectors and wiring looks splendid, I wonder why anyone has tried to repair anything? I suggest you do the job to put the wiring back to the original and refit the relays on the fuse board. Since a previous owner has fitted relays in the front compartment, I assume the relays on the fuse board have been removed? Or maybe, the owner has tried to make automatic daylight driving lights?

Once you have restored it to original, there's a simple modification possible where the lamps in the spoiler can be used for daylight driving lights.

Yes, they seem rather good, dry and in one piece. The relays are infact where they are supposed to be, so beats me what someone has been trying to do.... Seems like I need to take the front bumper of, to se the rest of the wiring, if there are anything left of the old etc. Perhaps a good time to fit the bumper correctly to....

It must be H36 or H37. Where do the wires go?

Ho ho, talk about being stupid.... Embarrassed
Were looking around the Murena for all my tools(needed them to fix the Astra) and guess whatI found.... It was a rotor(for a distributor)....  Shocked Shocked

Gee, I wonder where in the world that could have come from....  Huh Huh Huh

Okay, just started looking at the Murena a bit again. Has been a no-runner for a bit now(have moved, been laid of etc).

Last thing that was done, was to remove distributor cap and rotor. Seems like there is a problem getting the plugs correctly firing now...

When trying to start, it backfires up the carb, which tells me something is serious wrong. but from what I can tell looking at your photos, the leads are correctly placed.

Here's what happens:

and before you guys try, no, with this cut on the shaft


and this in the rotor

there is no way it can be put on 180 degrees wrong either. Checked and doublechecked...

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

The whole distributor housing could be turned. Make sure the vacuum advance membrane is facing towards the right side of the engine bay.  Wink
