Can anyone tell me if the brake pressure actuator electrical connection forms part of the brake light circuit? I‘ve got no rear brakes or power at the brake pedal switch so am wondering if the actuator connection is knackered opening the circuit,. Fuses all fine.
An Update : it turns out that the top and bottom plunger rods were attached to the same side of the plate when they should be opposite! A quick turn around and researing on the grooved rod behind and all is well. How that happened I'll never know. Pictures showing the correct alignment
Ah, right, that’s interesting. Didn’t know the button was adjustable, its pretty solid on mine, that might well be the trouble, will investigate tomorrow👍
Yes, that was the first thing I tried, no give in them at all. Am considering a spot weld.... Although I still can't work out why the rods would have separated in the first place.
I’ve got a new and much vexing conundrum…..the rods in the handbrake lever circled in red, have started popping out, there’s a wee metal plate not shown, with two holes to hold them in place. It can be manually fixed by twiddling the rods until they catch, buts it’s becoming a P In da A on hills...
Mine was running on the cool side even in 30+ temps in the Canaries, took the stat out and found it was wedged wide open, yours might be doing the opposite, first port of call, check stat. Easy fix. Then rad, esp if it’s an old one
I’m in Argyll although I spend a lot of time on Bute, so could have a nice day oot, but my backs knackered, quite badly at the moment. Good luck with it anyway. 👍
Excellent, cheers, Ive installed it all now and tightened it down, should be fine, am well impressed with the quality, my last one was Exmoor which was much much thinner compared to this Allwheel trim one.
Morning all, I've just put a new Canvas truck cab top on the series, comes from All wheel trim and I'm delighted with the quality. Question is, is it best to tension down the rear flap while it shrinks or leave it looser? Last one I put on was when I lived in the Canaries where rain wasn't a...
Thanks Steve, thats useful. Info. I think the spring you are seeing is for the hand throttle. Think I’ve fixed it, see above, had a brainwave, which is beyond rare for me. Anyway, thanks everyone, a 12 mm spanner did the trick on that wee nut.
Right, solved it. Loosen up the wee nut as shown raise arm to pull up and increase the tension in da wire returning tension to where it should be. Retighten wee nut. Gave it a damn fine oiling as well. Sorted.
Yes, I get that. Just had a look at the pump end, which doesn't have any springs on it ☹️ weird! I reckon lack of tension is the issue but I can't see how to tighten the bugger up
