Hi PaulJM. I can understand that and i can see the logic. The issue on my car is when it shorts it out, it pops the fuse. i wonder if this is somehow related to the drivers switch and if i had an OEM switch it might behave differently. Given (as Boguing mentions) the motor stops pretty quick, i...

I have got this working. I am not sure if this is the best configuration but it works for me. This is single speed motor. On the Emberton drivers switch (different pin numbers to the OEM switch and wiring diagram): Pin 1: G (live feed) Pin 2: RLG (feed to motor) and NLG (wire back from pin...

So item 43 is the switch that sits on the motor. There are no pin numbers, but that doesn't really matter, as on the loom is a connector with the wires already connected in the right places. The diagram doesn't show the pin switch that sits between pin 4 and 2. My issue all boils down to the...

I have spent ages trying to sort out the issue with parking my wiper motor. I have a new switch at the drivers side of the car from Emberton Imperial (which has different pins to the OEM switch). I had a new connector/parking switch also from Emberton on the wiper motor with 5 spades: 1) live...

I have installed new jets from paddocks, new 4mm tubing from Emberton, and am using the pump that was on the vehicle. First time i tested it (in the garage), the water went over the top of the vehicle and none of the windscreen. Having had a look at the jets, i can't see how i can change their...

I am following some bearmach instuctions for installing side steps (starting on passenger side first) and the instructions include ""attach the bracket to the two pre-drilled holes in no. 1 body outrigger". I have a replacement chassis (from richards) and the old one has gone to the scrappy so i...

I suspect you are right, but I want the seat belts so passengers are safe - there are too many bad drivers out there.

I am slowly making progress getting the seats installed. However, having got the centre seat in place, I cannot work out how to squeeze the retracting part of the belt behind the seats. There is neither room for it behind the centre seat nor the passenger seat. As you can see in the photos, I...

I am going around in circles a bit. I have sorted the drivers seat - will fit back stops and leather straps to finish off. Am still confused about middle/passenger seats. Having dug around in my photos during dismantling, i can see (in first photo below) that the middle seat had these brackets...

I have removed the metal seat backs. I have installed deluxe seat with the single bolt on the higher setting each side. This holds the seat in and I can find the seat down. I have the stops on order. I think with these in place, the seat back will be in a position that will allow me to...

I have just bought some deluxe seats and thought i was going to have a nice easy job popping them on, but (as usual) nothing is as easy as i hoped. I have these metal seat backs (which i can't find on the S3 parts list) which i can easily bolt to the (sliding) seat base frame. I thought i would...

I have just bought one of these but I am not sure if it is faulty. I have placed my multimeter connectors on each of the spades and have put the meter to test for continuity. I was expecting that when I pushed the little plastic head in, I would get continuity, but I don't. I have also tried...

you are right. when i mounted them, they are at a slight angle and if i angled it a tiny bit more, they got stuck. when i moved it a tiny bit back, they were fine. so good to go now.

I have just bought some securon seat belts. I was just about to install them but when I tested them, I could not get the belt to pull out from the automatic reel. I have tried very slowly pulling out, also trying letting it in a bit first. I have tried the reel in different orientations. The...

Yup. I straightened the pin, welded a missing captive nut back on, and wiggled it around until it fitted. Now working fine.

I worked it out in the end. A PO had installed a weber carb and had put a couple of minor bends in the linkage arm to scoot it around the vertical linkage. I had installed the arm back to front (as normally it should go either way), so the bends worked the wrong way. When i swapped the ends...

I have found (when testing on my drive) that the throttle can get stuck on. I have located the cause, which you can see in the first photo, where the vertical shaft is getting stuck under the horizontal shaft. So i have got something wrong, but not obvious what. I was thinking that if i could...

i did. I had to sort out a loose feed wire, but having done that, this is what i arrived at. It is single speed but the washer pump does work.
