  1. Sorry Jon, no offence intended......from another, I heard that the diode was just a bandaid for a more significant issue that needed attention, hence my thoughts about the alternator...... I have a diode ready to go. Out of interest, can this be fitted to the engine bay side of the charge light wire closer to the alternator rather than the dash which is presently heavily factory wrapped?.........I have way better access (and a spare engine loom if needed!).
  2. The issue is that the FIP is being powered by something else, when the engine is running.......I believe the alternator from my troubleshooting; engine stops when pulling connection at FIP and when pulling the engine charge light from alternator; continues to run when disconnecting from ignition switch; wierd!..... see above.
  3. The alternator does charge. Checking the diodes through the alternator though, I get a reading of 1327mV. Apparently should only read 400-800mV. A few other potential clues, the ignition switch only works as it should with the alternator charge light wire disconnected....but then battery isn't charging; when the engine is running, ignition turned to off position, the engine does stop when this wire is pulled (similar to pulling the FIP connection); when ignition off there is no feed to end of FIP plug when disconnected.....but there is 13.8v feeding the FIP when still connected (obivously not through the ignition)....ie 13.8v being fed through this FIP connection by something else....I am assuming a faulty alternator. I have a new alternator on the way and fingers crossed that is it..............?
  4. Will look at that monkie. Issue with charge light disconnected is now alternator not charging. Can't figure it out as nothing has changed between disassemble and rebuilt/reinstallation. Can backfeed 'just develop'? My loom is basically untouched from previous. Engine side starter/alternator, thermostat, oil pressure and solenoid loom perfect too. Agghhhh!
  5. Awesome, thanks! Pulled the small feed from alternator and ignition works as intended now.....I can turn off me motor! Following up, my charge light still works as intended and does go out after start up- curious how? Also wondering if I need to fit a 'diode' to address the backfeed which apparently goes in-line behind dash....or, if all is working fine, leave the alternator charge light feed disconnected?
  6. Thanks for this. Haven't had chance to pull the charge light connection yet but.....is the backfeed from the alternator via the ignition switch? If so, why does the engine only stop when I disconnect at the inj solenoid? If I disconnect solenoid feed at the ignition switch, the engine keeps running.
  7. This did cross my mind but haven't checked yet. Not according to my labelling and photos though. Will swap them later and try.
  8. My 200tdi rebuild is finally in and running....but won't turn off at ignition. Only way to stop the engine is to pull the injection pump solenoid wire connection at the pump. The wire is on the correct ignition terminal and works as it should in all ignition positions....it is switched. The engine continues to run when the solenoid feed is pulled at ignition barrel. With engine running, still 13V at solenoid despite ignition off and disconnected at ignition. New everything in engine bay including inj pump/injectors and solenoid. Autosparks loom that ran her before rebuild and labelled meticulously...or so I thought. Something else must be feeding the solenoid 12v feed when running....any thoughts appreciated. Sorry, images loaded upside down.
  9. Fixed... Blue relay behind fuse box. Needed hazard switch connected.
  10. Hello all. Just getting my vehicle back together after a 3 year rebuild! All going smoothly but no indicator lights. No relay clicking but can't locate it to check. My vehicle seems sparse for relays but don't think anything is missing. Attached are pics of my fuse panel and bulkhead behind dash relays. My indicator, horn, main beam stalk fuse wires seem to head straight into the loom. I have looked in the parts catalogue and other identifiers to no avail. Any identification of the relays pictured and the whereabouts of my indicator relay would be appreciated.
  11. This was resolved with the fitting of the triangular plate. Alignment is now sorted. Still can't find the part number for the space 'washer' for tension arm to front plate. Just received ERR2375 which belongs somewhere else!
  12. Thanks guys; Western you are right. A pig of a job now things are back in place. I have just ordered some copper nickel line, bender, flare tool etc for that long section. Apparently more forgiving and easier to bend to accomodate my usual assistant, my alter ego named 'Rage'. Into the wheel wells is the challenge. I figure 25' of tube will just about cover my patience level and I plan on mediating for a week before doing the job. I have a habit of turning the air a deep shade of blue early on!
  13. 1988, 110 2.5TD > 11L 200tdi. I assume the fancy (Goodridge) lines are just the short Flexi sections in the wheel wells. Is there such a thing as a replacement for the longer hoses. Specifically, I need the long section from drivers wheel well to passenger side (passes under radiator) NRC7801. Is this available as a Flexi line (cos bending and fitting original looks like a blast!!)? Thanks
  14. I grounded a live after fitting stereo few years back. Dreaded insulation smoke billowed up from behind dash. The damage was extensive and needed a new loom. Autosparks sorted me out.
  15. Thanks all. I am surprised I didn't question the compression nut at tear down. The Pioneer 4x4 spill pipes have no compression fitting either so assume jubilee clips were the way to go for a time.
