OK , its time to fit a radio , im trying to keep it all as original as I can so no CD player ,or even a tape deck , I just want a crappy AM/FM radio that I can get off ebay for £5. I have never fitted one before and I need it broken down to idiot level , is it as simple as getting a live...

11 days without asking for advice, must be a record for me! Oil pressure gauge all wired up and ready to go , however as mentioned thread on sender unit is 12.5mm and wont fit into existing sender whole , also thread is different , does anyone know the details of the adapter I need? , they are...

sender unit doesnt fit , diameter looks correct however thread is different , ill need an adapter I think !

OK just about to install oil pressure gauge , on the back there are 3 connectors , can I put red wire for light on same terminal as ignition terminal and black on same terminal as wire to pressure switch which I understand grounds the whole thing , if it comes to it I suppose I could just...

Excellent , thanks that will save me a lot of bother.

I have just noticed that when I look at the back of the fuse board there are spare spade connectors , I have attached a wire to one of these connectors and it becomes live on ignition , in assuming that if I earth this at the other end of the gauge then I can use this spare connector rather than...

Yeah without the Led bit , I'm not trying to pimp it , I'll get one with a proper big hand and numbers on it , I was just wondering if this was the sort of thing I should be looking for only downside is that it looks as if wires are about 2 inches long ! Yea

Ok, been ona 20mile motorway journey today and all seems well , was thinking of getting a pressure gauge , does this look any good (on a budget?) and can I just splice electrics into existing dial lights to be included in ignition loop ?http://r.ebay.com/SmRTuF

I've just got a new switch that isn't Britpart , its "intermotor" put that in and all's good at moment but I thought was all good with Bripart and that failed so lets give it a few days , new part is real old school , looks like something Robbie Barker would sell you down the corner shop

Where would the wire go ? Directly from the switch to the positive on the battery ?

believe me I'm Bad Company this morning got onto the motorway and light has come back on Could possibly be another crap Britpart switch but what are the odds , will get a pressure test done , not happy

OK , All done , it was the switch (massive relief) , Britpart sent me another one without argument so im assuming they know that they are hit and miss parts. Ive put that one on and all is good , thought I was going to have row with them over sending me another one so I has already ordered...

I might have sorted this , I tapped the switch with a hammer to see if it was stuck , when I say tapped I mean tapped , I didn't go all Friday the 13th on its ass with a sledgehammer, its was really light tapping , light comes on now only when key is first turned and stays off when engine...

No I'm not but thanks for the suggestion , I have noticed that new britpart switch is leaking from point when spade connector attaches so that's rubbish , I've put old one back on (again) and when I start engine the light goes out for a short while but then flickers back into action , could I...

Bloody lights back on , no noises , all seems well apart from light , have changed switch back and it still stays on , this seems too much of a coincidence to me that it started having issue when I put a new switch in , when I changed switch back to new one after trying old one again oil was...

I changed switch a couple of weeks ago , only put old one in bin yesterday , luckily dug it out and put it back on and now light works fine , new one was britpart so hopefully getting a new one from original supplier for nothing , if it fails again I'll buy yet another one (not Britpart ) so I'm...

My series 3 oil pressure light won't go off , oil is between L and H , running OK , I've recently replaced the pressure switch which up until now has been OK , if I rev at a standstill it goes off until I take foot off pedal , any ideas ? , is there a way to clean the switch ?

Just managed to replace it , it was one of those leaps of faith , gave it one massive shove , it was either going to unscrew or snap off , luckily it came out , as you can see on the picture (at 3 oclock position) it had developed a hole (poss stonechip) and oil was dripping out

ok , all the major stuff is hopefully dealt with (dreamer) so just sweating the small stuff. series 3 passenger door latch has a barrel which you turn to lock , after wife gets out I turn the barrel anti clockwise and sometimes it takes and sometimes it doesnt. it locks approx 50 % of the...

Another "five minute job" if you look at the picture there is a hex part which a spanner could go around just above the disk , its about 1/2 inch long however this looks like an extension from what I've seen on internet , this is stuck solid , disk somehow has been screwed in flush up to this...
