    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    Its now charging but maybe didn't before but I haven't really used it (only just had a gearbox rebuild as had no 3rd gear) and its been on an accumate regularly. Just need to get the camshaft done now

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    Ended up being the lucar on the alternator connector which had been pushed back into the connector block hence not making a connection. Managed to get it forward (tried to get it out but no chance) but it kept going back so did it (I hope) in the end, I tested the voltage before the light...

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    The 2 other wires going into the connector block at the same point are the 2 indicator warning lamps which both work. I've got the oil pressure warning light working - was just a poor connection in a connector block under the bonnet so as I was messing around with the charge light in the same...

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    The brown and yellow wire goes to the earth side of the charge light bulb on the dash. The white live works as does the bulb if I put an earth to the brown and yelow side of the bulb. The brown and yellow goes into a connector under the bonnet along with 2 other wires but there is no earth at...

    Wiper switch conversion.

    I'd be happy if the wipers actually cleared the screen. FFG

    Thanks. A few things to check then.

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    Agreed, but generally its fairly simple and working through it logically I've found I can resolve where the issue is. Done a fair bit of stripping out old redundant wiring and replacing other cable with original colours and the right size cable as many I've replaced looked too weedy. Where is...

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    They were working so the bulbs were OK, but will check. From what I can see there should be a brown/yellow from alternator to the ignition light and a white feed from the fuse box to the ignition light. Will check the bulb first and then these 2 wires. Defo need the light working if it's not...

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    Thanks. I'll check. I've checked all the fuses in the fuse box and all are OK. Seems to coincidental they are both stop working.

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    Understand it won't fail the MoT on that but would like to get them working anyway. More concerned about emissions as its got a P6 V8 and its running rich - will be pretty obvious in an enclosed space.

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    Thanks. So ignition light and oil pressure light should be on. Neither are on so I guess the 2 are on the same circuit. Any ideas what it could be or where to start?

    Which lights should be on when ignition on?

    Getting some niggles sorted on the S3 for the MoT on Friday. Came to start it yesterday and there are no lights on when the ignition is on. I recall the oil pressure light being on but can't recall if anything else should be on. Fuel gauge works and it does start but would like to get the...

    Fuel gauge not reading correctly

    Check the earth and the feed on the sender first and then have a look at the sender. Easy if you have a multimeter, just a bit of logic required to isolate the problem.

    Yes please. If you could let me know how much you want. See you're not too far from me.

    seat belt options with canvas - Series 3

    I guess there's a gap in the market for someone, bit like the lower dashboard and bonnet frame.

    seat belt options with canvas - Series 3

    Thats similar to the Exmoor seat belt bar but its £179 delivered!!! Was hoping for something a bit cheaper and basic as the rest is already mounting up to nearly a grand with hoops, canvas, bonnet for spare wheel and tailgate with accessories.

    seat belt options with canvas - Series 3

    I've made the decision to go full canvas and going to order the hoops and canvas (was going 2nd hand but just going for too good money not far off new prices) bu the seat belts I'm struggling with. Currently a Station Wagon with the high mounted belt bracket above the shoulder but this won't...

    Pageant blue truck - which canvas colour?

    I'd like to know who's canvas it is too and also the dimensions of the windows as I'm told there is a standard but I can have whatever size I want. These look right. FFG

    Fear of the expected

    I replaced the whole door (top and bottom) as they were just held together with rust within a few weeks of buying it. Mrs was having to open the window and hold the glass as the top of the door wanted to fall away from the vehicle when moving - not good. Hinges has load of play so changed them...
