You're not telling me heated front seats are not working like that, are you? 😁

Couldn't motivate myself to do difficult stuff under the car, so I did this instead:

I did try it, well I looked. And yes, I mixed up the wiring. Couldn't install the spare starter, the bolts are round head for hex keys. The lower one is easy, the upper one almost impossible to get to. So I need a hex key that goes on a wrench. So I'll just wait for the new starter, doing...

Lunch break, so I had another look at the internets regaeding wiring, especially to get an idea on how to wire the 123ignition distributor. That one has two wires, red and black. Weird, I thought as I only saw a black one and mine has one of those distributors installed, right? So I took the cap...

Thanks everyone! Need to check that out this afternoon after work!

Do, ignition goes to the small one (white red if I remember correctly) everything brown or brown white, along with the thick main wire from the positive battery pole, to the screw without wires. The thick red wire is then the earth to the engine? And the wire to the coil (white pink) goes to...

Hi there, so, I do have my problems with the new wiring harness. Especially with everything ignition and strater related, funny enough including the horns and beam lights as they share some of the circuits. Anyway, I found an old Lucas starter lying around. I did order a new one anyways, but...

Good piint, didn't think of that! At what temperature, and how?

In the double carb set up, at least my double Zeniths, there is fuel return line from the right hand carb. The pump fills the float chamber of the left one, then the right one. Any excess fuel goes back to the tank. To much pressure might flood the carbs.

Sooo, I think I narrowed my electrical worries down a bit, maybe even to the root cause but that's to early to tell for now. Got a new battery today, and then did some other testing. Everything is working, including the interior lights. Exceptions are: horns, the non-constant beam, coil and...

Thanks folks, so I'll get a flanging tool, some copper-nickel tubing and all necessary fittings. A man needs something to do during the next winter! By the current rate, I'll do the cylinder heads myself next year! 😳

It was already installed when I bought the car. Since then, she got a new fuel tank, a disco 1 if memory serves well as that was done at a garage. And a new sender unit, I think it was the pre-85 sender unit. The fuel line goes straight to a plug in the tank, then to the pump, then to the filter...

Hi all, so, I did stumble over a RRC brake pipe kit from Automec on sale when looking for something else a week ago. The price was really good, lamded including VAT and customs less than a hundred bucks instead of 200+ pounds as sold by Automec. It was advertised as LHD RRC, and the MYs were...

My son turns 17, so I have some time left for that! 😉

I love that color! Well, I managed to plug the trailer socket. Aparently it s too much to ask for normed cables, e.g. for standardized 13 pin sockets, to adhere to a color scheme. At least the pin usage is common between providers... Anyway, the horn isn't working. And the intermittent beam...
