Ah I understand now so if I drill out the studs then the solenoid will be available.Ok,if you have 3 wires at the yellow arrow you won't have a smart spider, it is Bosch DDS immobilisation. Looking from the back of the pump,probably easiest with a mirror you will see that black lump is held on by 2 shear headed bolts .You need to drill these out and remove the lump. Under the lump is the standard solenoid,using the wire that comes live when you key on, attach this direct to the solenoid. If it won't go then whip the plate off the timing cover,make sure the pump is going round.If it is remove the plunger,not forgetting you will have to stall it to stop.
Interesting that it is a VA - 1997 my, yet has DDS, In the past I've only seen WA - 1998my with DDS...
Ok, given 97 MY, I wonder if this is a "ROW" spec, re-imported at some point? (in which case it might be in better condition than it might otherwise appear - and a bit too good for farm only use !)
@eightinavee - can you tell from the VIN ?
defo too good for farm use now then!!And I forgot to say farmer Jim has got me some new rear Glass
Yes the red was to try and point to areas where I would have liked clarification, now things are getting a little clearer I can see the light at the end of the tunnel either that or there IS a train coming./////
Hey You, you sharrup.... I resemble that remarkBe careful,
some of these guys will turn up and buy your new repaired wagon from Farmer jim and you will be stuck with the old tractor.
Cheers
