Just a thought, when you press the button are you sure it is running the pump every time? is the switch faulty? Run a wire from the pos of the battery direct to the correct terminal of the pump, see what it does.

Old picture, bar is now repaired:)

I am not sure if this is much better...... picture one stop cable in red, second picture shows the cable outer fixed to the tag that drops down from the bar across the top of the pump

I may be mistaken here but I thought that the only way you can get info via the V888 is if you are shown as the registered keeper.

I did wonder if it was as easy as that....but I would guess LR did something else originally

I am trying to improve my ser 2 1/2 bit by bit and have noticed that air is sucking in to the join between the butterfly/servo adaptor and the inlet manifold. I can see some large flat hex heads around the adaptor and want to get some answers before I start spannering them. I would guess...

My 63 was passed by the folk at Steadfast autos old wokingham road. From Bracknell end of old wokingham road just after the hand car wash onn the right hand side 1/2 mile short of nine mile ride. They were thorough but were OK with using a tapley meter for the brakes when they got odd...

If you go backward and forward between the pictures you will see how you need to alter the wiring red wire new type yellow wire old type. Hope that helps

If they are the newer parallel ones you are going to take them out, put them one at a time across the battery to see which ones work. If some work I am surprised you have trouble starting as one of the reasons for using them is that if you lose one the others should still work. Make sure...

Yes they are, the earth return is through the body of each plug to the cylinder head, as the photo shows the old earth from the series plugs is left disconnected. they came ready fitted to Clyde so not sure where they are from.

Cheapskate!:) Moneypit is right, there are things that I didn't "need", like soft top hood and sticks so it could have come in at a lower figure, but to get Clyde, .......the "easy project".... on the road. £2,300

I hope the following will be of some help. First pic is the only actual photo I have of the modern type plugs. Second shows the way you need to wire them, bypassing the the balast resistor but keeping the indicator lamp. Third schematic of new type wiring The last one is to show the old type...

Plan A I would try to find a way of bending it back, anchor the front and rear to the ground and put some force under the middle...assuming it bows downwards. It would need a lot of force though...if you know someone with heavy plant equipment that you can utilise....If it suddenly folds or...

You are right, I would tell them about if I were to need an MRI :)

I have heard that but I thought that had been shown to be urban myth?

I got this bit of iron in my eye as an engineering sprog 40 years ago whilst fettling a casting with an air grinder.. It went in deep so no way was it coming out again. Stupid thing is I still take chances without protection at times:doh:

I needed to change my backplates to the correct side of Clyde..left one on right side etc.....while I was at it new shoes and cylinders fitted. I read somewhere on the forums to open the bleed nipples one at a time, using a tube into jar of fluid, and let the fluid run by gravity until no...

Paste the following into google earth (will work with google maps as well) 27°56'25.31"N 12°17'28.14"W You will need to zoom in....a lot, you will be in Morocco.

Don't forget that the £600 project "not much work for MOT" will end up as £2000 with a little more to do before MOT.....I type from experience ;) I have just about hit the budget I set myself so am cool with the cost but you need to be aware that you can spend and spend with a series.
