Looking good. I'd be very scared to bolt the coil packs on the plenum though well done

It's working !!!

Hi guys. Totally pi**ed off now been out and got the negative connection cleaned etc and it's still rattling away when it's armed. I ran a new negative direct to the battery to solenoid and it still rattling when armed. What else can it be? Wires to winch? They're not the best but worked fine when first put together. Help

After a night of laying there thinking about the earth. I'm thinking where it is justnow might be causing the problem. Is there a better place I could locate the earth?

The bottom terminal on the winch runs direclty to the negative on the battery. I think the earth for solenoid is a thin red wire that was also connected to this terminal. This is the way the wiring was attatched when I got the winch. Hope I've expained that right

Starter battery. Battery is good and not that old. Only connection I haven't really got into good and proper is the negative at the bottom as it's only got about 10mm of gap to get into. Looks like it's steering guard off time then to clean it up and hopefully that'll do it. Thanks

Mines is brown, not sure if they did black. I've yet to see one

Ok I'm back new solenoid arrived this morning. 4.30 I got it fitted. Turned the isolator switch to arm the winch, then the solenoid started clicking!!! It's still not winching. t it's a very solid click this time over and over. Thoughts? Earth/negative terminals bad contact?? Depression

Would you be better sourcing a S/H prop from a vehicle? Then you'll know which UJ your after.

As always making sure I dont c*ck it up will get it ordered and report back with hopefully good news. Cheers

This is the best deal i can find using the sites recommended. http://www.devon4x4.com/products_a/p7c83/0/albright-hd-solenoid.html

Will do

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270414150468 Would this be a good deal guys or is there somewhere else that would do better? I've used them before so i know they are good and trustworthy. I've got a forest drive on the 1st of May so want to sort it before then

It's only been on for about a month. The solenoid is second hand mind you. went out at lunch time there and tried the meter on it. No voltage seems to be present at any of the terminals when it's activated. Terminals are clean and coated in petrolium jelly to help protect. Will search for a new solenoid pack and hope that sorts it and run it at least once a week

Here's the view of mine possible it would be better on the other side where there might be more room ? or could get rid of the air con and drier?

Header tank = expansion tank ? If so the space I've got is maybe a bit limited with the abs pump.

Thanks Roger I'm thinking passenger side bolted under the dash on the RRC. No glove box there and easy to get to if needed. Would need to think more on where he EDIS would be mounted as the LPG takes up some space.

cheers

No I've only checked the wiring to make sure all seems well which it does. Don't like tricity how would I test? Cheers for the reply

Nice one !! Think the only thing I'm not sure on is where to mount the MJ box and electrics

Well after the joy of getting the RRC through it's MOT I went to use the winch yesterday and it never worked!! I can hear the clicking at the solenoid pack which works off a wireless remote (not sure if I'm a fan). After checking the wiring it all seems ok. However after a few attempts at working it, the solenoid pack make quite a bit of noise, clicking it seems, like sticking a lolly pop stick in the back wheel of your bike if you know what I mean solenoid gone guys ??

Something else to have a read on Is there a popular choice?

That's a great pic so what would make me choose MAP or TPS ??

MOT done and passed no bother Nice one !! All those weekends of lying on the ground in the cold pays off again
