    Fuel sender end filter

    Aye,yes forgot to say, 2.25 diesel . I was wondering whether the absence of the wee filter might cause the sender to suck up crud from the tank? Hmmm,m

    Fuel sender end filter

    Hi all, last year the little filter on the end of my fuel sender fell off into the tank….Ive been running it this way with no problems at all. I’ve just changed the main fuel filter and I wonder just how important the filter at the sender end is ? If anyone knows where to get one of the little...

    What to do with paintwork?

    Get a pot of bronze green and a brush and whack it on

    Yes, agreed. Exactly what’s happened here!

    take a feed from the live side of the fuse box and connect across the pedal switch Wires to see if you have a dodgy fuse box like mine, it’s also a green wire on mine

    Brake light circuit

    Yes.... Pedal switch is closed when pressed and vice versa for the servo switch - feed to pedal switch is permanent live when ign on

    Probably worth mentioning that it works opposite to the non servo one,….

    I think that’s what’s wrong with mine as well as a **** tone of Sahara dust and that green verde corrosion……in the bin shortly

    Right, an update. First, if you think the UKs a ****hole, go to Greece. Had a go at the brake light issue from scratch today, The fuse is good, the the switch is good. 12 volts in from the hot side, continuity from the open side.. It all looked good on the voltmeter, but still,no brake lights...

    I know a bloke who runs a trailer place, I’ll get some good tackle off him. Am away tae Greece tomorrow so will update this when I get back and complete it, quite an interesting exercise so far.

    I reckon you’re right. Might pull the whole thing and replace with trailer wire.

    Brake light circuit

    Right. Power restored at brake pedal switch, problem was in the fuse box, a combo of a **** ton of Sahara dust I hadn’t removed and fuse pin terminhale a bit wide making an intermittent contact. Switch at pedal operates circuit when activated, so that’s fine, but no power at the brake lights, so...

    Will try a few terminals and see!

    Guages etc ok, similarly, am wondering if there’s a bad connection where the power wires for the brake switch are connected into the main feed from the battery……

    Brake light circuit

    Mine is non servo so only switch is behind da pedal. Can’t understand how there’s not voltage at the wires attaching to the pedal switch. Stumped ☹️
  19. Fatrover

    Brake light circuit

    It’s a 76 series 3, brake switch behind brake pedal, no servo. I can see that the failure switch is wired to a wee lamp on the dash, so that would make sense!

    Brake light circuit

    That’s the bit I mean, the switch on the brake pipe, would that be part of the brake light circuit? Looks to me like it’s wired into the same fuse as the brake switch behind the pedal. Am wondering if it’s stuck
