Yes. Dirty fusebox is most likely. Also, I have never seen "TOP" on a voltage stabiliser - which only controls the fuel gauge doesn't it? I would suggest that it is an aftermarket one. Indeed it's aftermarket.. It's actually only used for the temperature gauge but I was wondering if it ha...

If I was a betting man I’d put money on that fault being a dirty/loose fuse holder, the one with White wires one end and Green at the other. It won’t be the ignition switch as you don’t mention the engine stopping, the coil and fuel pump supply is unfused, everything else you mention goes through t...

OK, so now that you have now fitted it in the correct orientation, has this solved your problem? Maybe... I was having a weird problem when I turned on the indicators, I'd temporarily loose electrics to the indicators, wipers, brake lights, fuel gauge and radio. It wasn't blowing a fuse and after a...

Is the earth connection not the engine?

Well yes, I suppose so! I think for the cost of it, I'll just try a new sender and see what happens..

Looking for some guidance again please.. I have a temperature gauge that works fine when cold, but once the engine is up to temperature the gauge suddenly drops back to maximum cold and won't show a reading again until the the engine is fully cold. It doesn't look as though the gauge fails at a part...

Ah - I thought it was solid-state, but if it's mechanical I guess that makes sense!

No indeed - I would certainly mount it the right way up, unlike the person that fitted it previously Fixed now!

This may be a daft question, but why does a Voltage Stabiliser have a 'Top'?
Mine is fixed upside down and am wondering if this may be contributing towards a weird electrical problem I'm having. I thought these were solid state?

Hmm, so the new link and bushes have arrived.. But it looks like the bushes are too wide? Isnt the link going to move around on these?

Also, any way to remove the supplied rubber bush without cutting it out?

Thank you - Ordered!

Just adding to this old thread, as my Rear Shock absorber link has also failed and this is the thread that keeps coming up first on Google! Suspension Link.jpg Whilst I await the replacement (coming in the post) - I see there was mention of a split pin on the chassis nut? I cant see this on mine nor...

My offside headlamp dipped beam has stopped working. I swapped the main beam and dip connections over and retested to make sure the bulb was good, which it is. With the lights connected up, the dip connector shows 0v when turned on with my multimeter. If I disconnect the bulb connection, my multimet...

So.. I've finally gotten round to removing the heater to try and find out why it's stopped working. I'm suspecting the brushes. But seeing as I'm going to fully dismantle it, I thought it's probably a good opportunity to refubish it a little bit. I'm completely missing all the plastic the ducting fr...

Thanks all for your help! Took the parcel shelf and the heater out and had good access to the cable and retaining nut. Removing the speedo instument panel flooded the area with light so wasn't a difficult job at all. Of course, despite paying extra for a new 'Lucas' start switch - the new switch was...

Thank you, the diagrams are very helpful. How do you get at screw (23) - does that have to be reached through/under the dash, or will it all pull out into the engine bay? Indeed - I have a '53 MM. I've removed the instrument panel from behind the steering wheel, but there is no sign of the the back ...

Is it easier to get access if I remove the chrome center section (with ash tray etc) from the dash first do you think? I've not looked yet, but is it obvious what holds that center section in place?

It may be obvious to you (that the switch needs replacing), but not 100% to me. Firstly, it may have just been more resistance in the connection than the starter motor, and secondly, is the starter motor bendix jammed in mesh? Not certain it's the switch that needs replacing, but the push button of...

Hi All, I had trouble starting the car over the weekend from the pull switch, so popped the bonnet and used the button on the starter switch. It was very stiff to depress requiring much more force than usual. I sprayed liberally with WD40 before giving the button a few more pushes to try and loosen ...

Any signs for where the water is coming in? Where is the water collecting? Is this whilst standing or whilst driving?

If the car doesn't have a hole drilled somewhere for an Aerial, perhaps consider a DAB radio? We fitted one under the parcel shelf which, although not very 'in-keeping' can easily be removed in the future if desired. The Aerial is a stick-on type attached to the front windscreen which works really w...

Thank you Both. If it's likely just the (very) hot weather, I'll repeat the test next week when I'm sure our summer will be over
