I think the fender ignition is rated a lot higher because the Series ones kept melting - seriously. I'm looking at these issues on my SIII rewire too. Relays basically use a figure of 8 circuit. You do your switching in the cab using a small current, this is picked up by the relay which...

Sounds like fun - I've registered too

Ah, so a Salisbury diff is a 109 thing? Thanks for keeping me straight. Not sure about the evolved mods theory with my electrics. Looks like Freddie Kruger has had a go at it, while drunk. :D It's all coming out.

This bugger's military and I'm pretty chuffed about that. I thought the springs looked heavier than usual. I have the convoy light switchboard. Weird because it's got civi bumpers, and no tie-downs on the bonnet. How do I check to see whether I have a Salisbury diff? The previous owner was...

My SIII has those, not in bad nick either. Also has weird switch gear on the panel with words like "convoy" on it, so I guess it's military.

Side exit has the added advantage of letting you monitor engine health in your wing mirror. I can recommend Custom Craft of Elgin for anyone in the North of Scotland.

I confess I don't like those alloys on a Series, but that's a bloody good job!

If the head is all messed up you could try an Irwin type bolt remover:

I had a 4 litre phaser in a Dodge 50 once, the naturally aspirated one - loads of grunt, loved that engine. Seen one in a Rangie once, anyone ever crammed one into a Series?

Sounds sensible. How'd you get that finish on your balls? :D

Impressive. Did you take the diffs apart or leave well alone? I thought they were a total b*tch to get right.

F**kers. Sounds personal to be honest

I cross-posted a bit: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f6/series-3-re-wire-179145.html Looks like the Autosparks job comes recommended, but by the time I've finished it's more than £225 for the basic loom. Then I have to add in other stuff like spots, towbar electrics etc. I think I'll make my own.

I've been looking at the Wiring Diagram, It really isn't that complicated. But where are the relays?! :eek: Probably why I have so many melted wires in my loom. Could do with a bit of an update I think.

Very nice job. Is that where the fuses normally live on a 2A? Mine are under the ignition switch.

I think your theory is spot on. Here's a song, just for you: Ian Dury - There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards - YouTube Bled it at the filter and pump, stuck on a battery booster, and she fired up second try. Used it as a wheelbarrow to get a lot of wood down from the top of my drive -...

Sounds like a bargain, but will need to get the car sorted before I make a decision whether to go for the moa powa option. That could take some time.

Yeah, I'm thinking airlock. The engine did start a few times momentarily but died quickly. The tank was possibly quite low (tank sender up the creek along with lots of other electrics). I stuck a 25 litre jerry can in but it didn't help. Probably needs a good bleed. I'm babysitting so I can't...

Thanks for the comments. Yes, it's a lovely slate blue/grey - well I like it anyway. Will run it over with clay and give it a polish once I've done the important stuff like the brakes, loom and engine service. No intention of messing with the patina. It's all the heavy metal underneath which...

Got the bugger home: She's a beaut. Needs a rewire. Needs the body off and the chassis cleaned up, but not too much work there I think. Wouldn't start to get it off the trailer, no idea why not. Fortunately my new friend Donnie helped me heave it into position under cover. Started fine...
