Interesting thread. 👍

Battery neg clamp was goosed I found a heavy duty clamp in halfrauds (not exactly brilliant but it would do) Hacksawed the old clamp off, and the new one was snug as a bug in a rug, sorted.

I like the gunmetal grey. Tambora Flame was a great colour choice for the launch.

Thanks for letting us know and well done for persevering.

I decided to go to a master electrician and boom, I found a bad wire connection, a broken wire on pin 2, giving off weak voltage and the body of the wiper motor was not in contact with the bodywork as it was receiving little current. The master...

Owned my D2 for over 17 years and sold it over 3 years ago as it was starting to annoy with its persistent leaks. I regrated selling it the moment it was driven away, and still do. 😢

If it was me I'd take the pipe in question off and take it to a specialist pipe company, who would make one up for you for not much money. Using the same fittings. This thread may prove useful to you...

Thank you for your advice. I would like to keep it but I don't have unlimited funds and time, hence reaching out for advice. Apart from the ACE issues, which when it works is great, there are no other issues.

Thanks for pointing that out, it would have been helpful ! For its age its in average condition , no dents, some scratches but nothing major. I am at a watershed moment, as I can't find a reliable garage to repair the leaks and vibration issues...

Yup, keep it unless there are other problems..

keep it

I can only see relay 7 as an ignition relay which feeds the CJB (passenger footwell). Relay 8 is the fast/slow wiper relay, Relay 11 is wiper on/off. Pins 1& 2 at the motor should be power but they are switched from the relay so you may have to...

Check the VIN. All the information needed is included in the VIN.

Are you sure pin 1 should not be a ground ? Or, it may only show a voltage when operated if it the intermittent ?

^^ beat me to it! These vehiels were not "concourse" when they left the factory. I would go far more with the usable, reliable, and tidy rather than perfect. if you make it perfect you will not want to use it properly. When I rebuilt my series...

If there's no charge controller between the solar panel and battery, the voltage will climb high enough to boil the battery. Even a cheap Chinese £10 charge controller will prevent battery damage...
