Now then chasps, and 9 or 10 laydeez, it appears to be fixed! It wusnae a dodgy ammeter, nor a foosty ignition switch, but, can ee believe it, the ignition wire had been rubbing on the exhoost and a toaty wee bit o bare wire was showing thru and making an intermittent earth. The autospark also...

Hello to baith wimmin frae me tae. Thur fair comin oot of the wudwurk noo they female wimmin thngs....

Charles It sure is intermittent! It chose to work almost all day today. It is however going to a mates tomorrow morning for him to have a look at. I shall report the findings tomorrow night!

Smallest commander goes in the middle. Wee legs are shorter than a cubby box.....

Mates have 2 carpet commanders. They kept their series 3. Put rear bulkhead mounted inertia seatbelt on for centre seat and inertia reels on drivers n passengers seats. Both bairns seats can now safely go in the front. A front facin rear seat went in the back for the non drivin parent. Prob...

No ah mite be as thick as ****e in the neck o a bottle but even me aint gonna go an try this.... Incidentally, on the way to the station this morning, the bloody light went out. Stayed out all the way there n back, then parked up at the mansion and the bloody thing came on again. Now it wont go...

Hehe. It appears customary to reel in some newbie **** monthly, or on a month by month basis on here. Better be careful......

Right. Here's the chat. Aint no leccy guy. Don't like wigglys full bloody stop. Infact, I aint mechanical either, but am trying to get ma thick heid round them slowly. I only have this landy, nowt else and I have spent too many hours on what is supposed to be a straight forward job. I have...

Cheers slob but this is getting way beyond me! I understand the theory of the above, but I have put oot a call tae a mate who has a mate who's an auto spark. I will let ee ken how ah get on so ye cun say Ah telt ee so! Impressive knowledge frae a nurse tho.....

On da wiring diagram, only 2 outs on the ammeter are used. One to the batt and the other the warning light. Does ma third one go to the ammeter??? They are all ****ty brown coloured and look the same age. The ammeter has only been fitted for aboot 9 months.

Sounds a bit advanced/dangerous for a lowly peasant like me im afraid. U really think the ammeter could be the route of all evil? Never considered it, but as I said, am a peasant at this sort o stuff, amongst other things.

Erm, I used a jump lead from the alt casing to the neg on the battery. Had a multi meter across the battery, did not move from 12.7v so no leccy getting made/getting thru.

Standard 3 pin lucas plug on the alt. 2 large spades and one wee one. The 2 big ones show 12.7v an nowt on the wee one. Am I right in thinking one bog one is the pos to energise the alt and the other is the return with the wee one being the warning light?

Slob - the battery is grand. 12.7v. The ammeter is in the dash. I thought that running a temp earth from the alt casing to the neg on the battery would rule out a bad earth elsewhere - it didnay make any difference....

Let the doffing of hats and bowing commence :D Lord Slob hehe far better than super member....

Shizer Mary! DHL delivered a bulkhead to me the other week. Strange cos I neva ordered one. I got £200 on fleabay for it. No bad eh? Thanks for th offer, but ma gless is fitted now. Any alternators at Muddy Towers??????

Sorry should have added that get 12.7v across batter with engine running. Ammeter on dash shows zero current or neg current with something switched on. Either I have had 2 duff alts in a row (is that normal???) or there is something else after the alternator? Am stumped.

Help needed before I take ma Landy to Dunbar harbour and drive it off the pier. Charge light would not go out, all connectors clean, so ordered new alt. Britpart one came, which was fitted, but the light still would not go out after 80 mile essential trip. Local garage suspected duff alt from...

Ma gauge reads 50 when movin. 40 ish when no movin. Never seen it ova 50 tho.
