Cheers, Datatec.
I had it charging at over 12amps for a couple of hours and, after speaking with Mozz, took it home to trickle charge until it hits at least 14.2v
On a separate note, Kurt said to check his integrity out with you ref his New EAS compressors and blocks.
He said you are totally shady....haha!
Me shady? I have overhauled a couple of compressors for others, but generally I only do my own stuff although I do sell the EAS cable on a not for profit basis, so I'm not sure how that counts as shady:)
 
Just my warped attempt at humour. I'm a Mac remember!
Mozz said you're a good bloke too, so no offence taken I hope!
 
Yup!
First person I heard from when I joined a forum in was MARTYUK. He advised getting best possible battery, which I duly did... 1000CCA.

That'll have calcium in it. What volts do you get across the battery at 2000rpm? Think the Thor should be 14.5V.

Car will not crank. Mozz believes it's likely the CDL microswitch. There is a loose rod which I can't get to connect where it should...a circlip of sorts should be retaining it, but that's nowhere to be seen.

Martyuk does refurbed ones. usually it is the centre one that goes as the boot-button grounds through it. It needs all 3 working for the EKA to be entered.

Thanks for the info. I need to get in touch with MARTYUK again. He very kindly sent me some O-rings for my faulty EAS block.
Unfortunately, I lost the handwritten note with his contact details on that he enclosed with said O-rings.

CDL switch has nothing to do with cranking. Do you mean the rod from door handle to latch mechanism? If so this is the clip. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-MTC9290 If it is missing and rod is not connected you will not be able to open drivers door with outer handle.

Wammers, I managed to reconnect the rod. It was the one that reacts when the key being moved, as when inputting EKA code. After reconnecting, it was possible to lock drivers door for first since the handle was replaced after original was vandalised by some scrote 18months ago. A tiny circlip, or similar, was and still is missing, but I'm now able to mechanically lock the door AND tailgate!

The rod that connect the key lock should have an S bend at top that goes in lock arm and a L at bottom that goes into a plastic retaining clip on latch. The rod on your model of car that connects the door handle pull to the latch has a S bend at the bottom to latch, and an notched L bend at the point it locates in the door handle leaver retained by the clip i quoted in my last post. Earlier models had a S at the top on both rods and an L at the bottom to latch that located in plastic retaining clips.

Thanks for clarifying that, Wammers. The rod in questions needs the spring you sent me the link for. Mozz said he has a gaggle of them so, when I speak with him on Wednesday, I'll arrange delivery of a couple of them.

He deals in cake. When he brought my lathe up to me from Lincolnshire he ate a full eight inch one. Greedy git he is. :D:D
