Do you know what size spanner it takes or would this help?
I could go outside and find out what spanner size is required??
-
You have the bulb in the wrong way round -it can be forced in sometimes if the bulb holder is in bad shape.
Remove the bulb, turn 180 and re-insert, hopefully should sort it.
Now that is what I was going to do and wasn't very sure if it would make any difference, but by the time I'd finished the rest of the job I couldn't feel my feet!!
Will give it a swap over and see if that'll sort it
cheers

Went out today to give it a go...... Earth connection was loose altogether !! Took the whole unit off and cleaned it all up nicely. Job done and no more disco lights
Took the other side off to do the same job. The bulb holder for the stop/tail light was not in the best of condition.
Managed to clean it up after managing to get the broken bulb out from the holder. New bulb in.......... All put back in but now it seems the stop/tail bulb is getting mixed up. When I put the lights on the stop light comes on??? When I press the brakes the tail light illuminates?? It only does this on the offside where the dodgy holder is.
Apart from that, every thing else is back to normal:)
fingers are numb now.......... -5 outside:(
-
Many thanks for the reply....... And I really appreciate the full talk through........ Really do.
Didn't have time to check the connections so will try do it over the weekend
Cheers

Job for the morro then
Cheers chaps, will let u know the outcome

Aye but are we talking earths like on a plug in the house or the straps to the engine block.............
Cheers. (just a bit unsure where the earths are )
-
Are we talking the earth straps under the bonnet? I've got 3. One on the bonnet, one to the nearside wing and one on the starter. Clean up ?
Or the earth actually on the lens etc?
Cheers

just discovered that the rear lights on the classic is doing a bit of disco dancing. I've got a tail light out on the offside but the mrs noticed yday when I indicated left if done it but only on the left side and also when the brake lights came on!
So the question is....... How do I sort it? Is it a relay?
Cheers

There's 2 Suppressors on the Alt, one is connected into the Alt itself and the other is the one in question about the Spade Connection cominf off of the Tach wire.
-
So it doesn't get connected to anything?
-
On the Tach wire (not on the Alt) there's another feed from it with a spade connector on it. would this connect to the suppressor?
-
I'll have to go out tomorrow and try it so i don't wanna blow myself up
Anyone?

Recently got a new (ish ) Alternator from a freindly forum member but it turns out to be slightly different to the one that was originally on my 92 RRC 3.9 EFI
The original one was i believe the A133 (??) and the one from the forum member is A127.
Would i be able to connect existing wires from my loom to this Alt?
From memory from the weekend, i've got 4 wires to connect to the Alt.
Main live wire to Solenoid (1),Small brown(2) Spade terminal(3) which has a feed from same wire?(4)
I reckon i know where the Wire to solenoid goes, and the small brown, and i take it the "W" on the rear of the Alt is for the Rev/tach?
I know which wire is for the Rev/Tach but there is another spade terminal coming off of that too, so.............Would this connect into a suppressor?
I think that would still leave me with a dangly bit on the Different Alt.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

which is the best replacement coil for my 3.9 with a 35dlm8.or will any make do ? also where do you get good quality rotor arms from ie supliers
I've used these guys on ebay and always found them to be good. Always get the genuine parts though.
If you haven't any luck with them for a coil, try Paddockspares.
-
I think it's the paddocks one. Just text him there to find out but i reckon it is.
It defo doesn't go straight on.
Cheers for the replies so far guys

Here's the pics as they seem to have come out huge using the upload facility

Again i'm posting on behalf of my mate who has a 90.
He's fitting a guard to it and wanted to confirm that he needs to remove the Sill brackets to enable him to fit the guard bracket in order to fit the guard itself. (hope that makes sense)
We had a look tonight and it does look like the only way that the bracket for the guard will go.
Can you guys confirm?
Cheers
-
No expert by far, but when i first got my RRC i had rough running too./
Turned out to be a combination of things. Mostly poor patrs.
Have the Dizzy cap and rotor arm been replaced with genuine ones? Leads? Timing? Coil?
You say you have changed the CTS (temp sensor) that was also a factor in the poor running of mine.
-
Got my RRC 2 years ago for £1600 on LPG. Had a few running probs to start (fingers crossed) it's running sweet as a nut now.
Great condition, only rough spot is the boot floor which will eventually get sorted (after i'v finished my house)
Would love to see pics of this 5.5K motor.
I suspect someone is seriously at it!!
-
Cheers, Job done and a good un.
Bad connection on the ignition, cleaned up and sorted.
-
On the blower right now.
Will see if he's missed anything in the wiring.
So suggest checking all wiring for ignition also?
Cheers for quick reply

Mate just rang me about his 90. 1989 2.5Turbo Diesel
Usually everything is ok but today he went out to start her up and found that the glow plug light on his dash wasn't coming on. So after checking his wiring and anything else he can think of, he said he just kept turning it over and over and it eventually started.
Any ides folks what can be the problem of the light not coming on?
He's also checked all fuses.
Speedy answer or suggestion would be great as we have a forest drive on soon..

When i took my covering of to find a leak a few months ago, i'm sure i seen a relay for the heated screen. It was in the drivers cockpit area, remove the covering right next to the GAS pedal, there's a bunch of them in there that i'm sure where marked.
-
Yes you can, my 3.9 had the cap replaced about a year ago and no probs with it.
RRC rear lights disco dancing!
