Not to hijack your thread, but I justed fitted a electric pump in mine last week. I used a generic pump - I tested a max of 5-6 PSI (vacuum) on it and it did leak out of the zenith just a bit if I left it run. My brother in law made a custom bracket for it just forward of the fuel tank on the...

Update: Just installed the new starter. It was really really loud, and scared me :eek:-lol compared to what I was used to with the old one. Before testing the battery was at 12.2V. It measures 10V when cranking -measured at only the battery posts. Sounds like its really cranking fast. I would...

Thanks everyone, will get new.

Just tried another battery from another vehicle I drove on the highway for a hour prior. Same result with the jumper cables, the starter sounds like it grinding on something, not a screech, but I would would say more like a hiss. It starts spinning and the rpm seems to fade as well as the...

I want to change all the bolts to imperial or BSW (original). I am tired of carry both metric and imperial around with me, and having to crawl out from under the truck to get the other. (previous owners) lol

With the unit off the engine, and hooked up to some jumpers cables it showed 7-8 volts maximum and slowly faded into 5 volts. I blew out the inside with compressed air, and same results. The battery jumpers heated up too at the ends where the wire terminates to the clips. That is odd being that...

Need advice on the starter motor. The starter on my 2.25L petrol can barely turn the motor. Here is what I have done so far- -Measured the voltage, and it was less then 6-7 V when engaged. -Measured the resistance of the wires and ground- fine -Swapped a battery with another vehicle, and same...

Had the same problem on mine that Oldseadog said. On mine I had to mess around with 2wd 4wd selector lever in the middle of the road, intersection, stop signs... all the time because gear control would slip out to neutral. The bolt fell off one of the control rods/shafts and the mechanic of...

Like in the movie Uncle Buck my landy shoots a afterfire? out the tailpipe about 4-10 seconds after I kill the ignition. Also if I don't put it in gear and use the clutch to lock the engine she will diesel for about 30 seconds and possibly backfire out the carb. hehe A real head turning display...

ok johnny, thanks I took your advice and routed it that way. I think the clips on the bulk head might be wrong, there were a few holes to chose from for the mounting the clips. lol I got up to the grill. I am still not sure where to slide that protective rubber section on the harness too...

Expert advice needed lol! Trying to fit a autosparks harness and lol not sure how the loom gets routed. No instructions came. The old loom was somewhat custom; fitted ok -a bit patched up from rodents, but I doubt it was correct. Anyways I have a good diagram and I know where 95% of the wires...

Thanks Mad Hat

Hello members, Is this a voltage regulator for dash instruments? Series 2a https://picasaweb.google.com/m/photo?uname=108034514694382291794&id=5816441758340092690&aid=5816442688970108657&start=0

Just bought a 15/16 spanner, thanks JamesMartin.

Anybody know what size the locknut is on the side of the steering box (for adjusting steering play)? I know its not metric, I'm not near mine. Series 2a. Thanks in advance.

Ok so LRA602, or perhaps A127 from a mini? I just want it to fit onto the series 3 bracket, . Thanks for your advice. I wish I knew of a wrecking/salvage yard full of British vehicles, I would be in heaven!

I need advice on upgrading my 17ACR alt. I would like a Alt with 60 amps or more output. I have AC installed plus a stereo and amp mounted inside a subwoofer box. The 35 Amp 17ACR isnt keeping the battery topped up. Anybody know what I need. I have searched for 20acr but not sure if it will...

I think your referring to the weather strip, hehe I think its supposed be there but not real sure, its working its way out. Thanks for the pic, I see your window lock just barley makes it flush, so I will just improvise a little maybe put a plastic spacer in between :-)

Got a couple of locks, and ran into a small problem. The locks do not get flush with any of the door frames for pop riveting. Not sure as to why the window channel hangs out so far, anybody have any suggestions or might know what the problem is. The windows are all tight. I am guessing the...

Thanks for the reply, I think the wrong specs got sent to the factory in wherever the last production run was. Anyways, I order another set this time from ebay. In the picture you can barley see the seals have a recessed groove in them. Should arrive in a couple of weeks, and I will update...
