M'coli Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 M'Coli has one, which I believe is currently "on the naughty step". Maybe you should have a word with him. The red one. It has been Bosched, it used to live here at Castle_Cleland.Yeah, it's on the naughty step at the moment. Needs the rear brakes finishing off (new cylinders) and a driveshaft fitting but it's mot'd until August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughant Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I had one back in 97/98 and it was dreadful, engine went bang after 9 months of ownership on a 3 years old vehicle, crankshaft oil seal failed, oil and temp lamp gave a quick flash as it cut out, it did start again but the damage was done.A long dispute with the pug dealer (who was dreadful) and it ended up getting scrapped with me £4000 out of pocket, nice. Even at 36k it had no handling, the thing leaned so much you could get it from full tank to light on with a reasonable bend!!! Slow and noisy it's only real bonus was the economy was immense although probably no better than a polo TDI or my seat Leon in real terms unless you limit your speed to 70 odd. No appeal whatsoever to me but each to their own. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 And then there was light. And the light was good and it did light up the morn in the shape of a little car battery. Its a bright new day on south tyneside. UltraWomble and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 As with all jobs well done, the car awarded me with a small prze/reward. A bonus leftover screw! Yes! Pro job. I dont have time to do any more fannying as I have to eff orf to work. All seems reasonably well though. Tommorow will be reatatchment of back box, new tyres anf the applucation of period decals. Big big thanks again to Cobblers for putting right all the wrongs with his wizbit skills. mercedade, BorniteIdentity, paulscavalier and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 It may still want a new alternator/voltage regulator. Could be what killed the clocks in the first place? Would that make any sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 It may still want a new alternator/voltage regulator. Could be what killed the clocks in the first place? Would that make any sense?I wouldn't have thought so. Whether the alt light is ground or 14 or even 30 volts it wouldn't do the damage I saw, I reckon the bulb has shorted out or something.

SiC Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 It may still want a new alternator/voltage regulator. Could be what killed the clocks in the first place? Would that make any sense?Plausible that it could cause some of it to get a bit hotter, but then it's not ridiculously out. Just seems to me to be on a tad side for idle. However battery maybe heavily discharged too. What voltage is it producing at around 2k? At least there isn't a whole lot of electronics to get fried if the battery voltage is a bit high!

Jim Bell Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 It does idle a bit high. Maybe someone adjusted it up to try and improve charging not understanding what was happening? I cant check anything right now but Ill see what amount of electric is showing on meter at higher revs tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_Rocket Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The high idle is most likely to be a seized cold start cable. Slacken the cable clip at the pump and the small advance lever should spring back to its hot idle position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
