This is great to see! Love to hear about the history of my lightweight. Any photos/stories/ routes taken would be excellent!

Haha, yes there is fuel in the tanks. I checked the pump when it arrived and i could get fuel to pump out but now it won’t pump anything. Priming the lines will fuel is a good idea though I’ll get on that tomorrow. Spent so long on this now really just want it running!!

currently i cant even get fuel to the fuel filter. im pumping the pump whilst the its not even attatched to the engine to avoid that problem. if you have any other ideas that would be great!!

Haven’t posted in an age but I have been making progress, still need to find out why I can’t get fuel past the fuel pump to bleed it and also need to work out why the gearbox doesn’t seem to be playing ball but apart from that very happy with where I’ve got to!!

so.. Im really struggling with the fuel lift pump, my new pump arrived today and i just cannot seem to get any fuel through it, let alone to the fuel filter. I have checked that the cam isnt engaging with it and even tried pumping it whilst not bolted to the engine and i cannot seem to get...

hello all. wondering what size thread the 3 bolts are that hold the thermostat housing on are. ive got myself some stripped threads to sort. thanks in advance.

Also, what would happen if the clutch plate was put in backwards? Would the clutch never be able to disengage? Or would the engine and the gearbox never be linked?

Any ideas on how I can check/look to see if this is the problem?

Right then, so my lightweight has been going through abit of a restoration for years and years, today I went to check the gearbox was working properly, and the 4wd yellow lever won’t stay depressed at all when in high range and the red level doesn’t seem to have the ablility to go into high or...

Been out today, fairly sure I had the relays wired up wrong- I bypassed the first relay and directly connected the brown live to the brown and purple light switch wire. Disconnected the brown and yellow wire from the relay and all is sorted. To be fair I should probably clean up those relays and...

Also is the relay needed..... like what does it do? I have very limited knowledge on them. Can I just wire straight through without the relay as I’m not using the IR switch or lights

So here are the relays as I have them wired. Obv has the negative wired in where there is nothing on the second picture. Anything glaringly obv that’s wrong?

the lights haven’t even been wired up yet, still just on the main looms. I’ve tested the relays and neither seem to be a N/C

Yeah that’s what o have been using so far, all correct on my side to this. Thinking ive missed something
