DodgyBastard Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Recently I saw a compressor for sale on facebook for £100, it was 3 phase and 200l in size. I thought it was worth a go at that price so went along to Kirkcaldy in the ranger to collect it. I got talking to the guy who was selling it after I spotted an NSU RO80 sitting in the corner, I mentioned that I had a Lada and he told me his garage used to be a Lada dealership...Anyway, the compressor was big and old and the cable had been chopped when they replaced it for a new compressor. I took it back to my place and it dawned on me that I might have some issues with it. DSC_0675 by srblythe, on Flickr We only have one 3 phase power source. Our tyre machine's turntable is also 3 phase so I couldn't have the tyre machine and compressor plugged in at the same time... Or could I? DSC_0676 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0677 by srblythe, on Flickr I made a 3 phase splitter and didn't manage to electrocute myself. Result!The new compressor is incredibly quiet and everything works as it should. I'm looking forward to painting with it.

DodgyBastard Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 I had a mildly productive day... DSC_0579 by srblythe, on Flickr It started with this. And ended with this. DSC_0489 by srblythe, on Flickr And some of this stuff happened in the middle.

DSC_0485 by srblythe, on Flickr I eventually got it on, lifted it up and reversed the truck underneath and winched the car on. DSC_0487 by srblythe, on Flickr A guy I know came down and took everything he could fit inside his 207 which included the 4 doors, boot, rear bumper, rear seats, lights. he tied the front bumper to the roof. It'll be weighed in tomorrow. oldcars, The Moog, Spottedlaurel and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Cade Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 You don't remember when Junction Road was a Lada dealer? The now Kawasaki dealership in St Clair St were Lada dealers too, and AF Motors in Thornton, then Woodside were Skoda- I remember walking up and drooling over a Rapid Sport there.. FSO were next to Kwik-Fit in Leven. CreepingJesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the lump is heading 305-wards after all. I just couldn't really be bothered taking the engine out, it would have been easier to sell the car and forget about 305 engine swaps but having had a couple of no shows for the car during the week and a nice sunny day yesterday I thought I'd give it a bash. I wasn't asking very much for the car anyway. KruJoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Tonight's jobs, fitting a new stop solenoid on the pump. I used a grinder to cut through the armor then used a multi meter to check which wire was getting voltage with the ignition on and connected it to the new solenoid.

KruJoe Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ah... you also have the blue ZX td I found that two of those four wires seem to have 12v to hold open the stopper, but only one actually works. On those immobilized ones, one wire showing "12v" actually only pulses, and doesn't hold it open enough. So if one won't, try the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On those immobilized ones, one wire showing "12v" actually only pulses, and doesn't hold it open enough. So if one won't, try the other. Yes, it's the ZX. It died last week while out driving. I tried restarting it at the side of the road and nothing, not even a hint of it starting. I towed it along to my unit and tried again and it started fine and had run fine ever since. I had a look online and found an old thread on here about stop solenoids where you were giving advice to someone about how to sort it.I'm hoping that it was a faulty solenoid that was the cause of the FTP because if it was something else, I have replaced the solenoid for no apparent reason.The solenoid on the 306 td engine has been wired up in a similar fashion. but it'll be a good while before I attempt to put it in the 305. There's still quite a bit to do on it to get it roadworthy and I really don't want to add an engine swap to the list of stuff required. Also put the original wheels back on the ZX DSC_0499 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0498 by srblythe, on Flickr The tyres on the rallye steels weren't great so I'll stick with black steels for now.
