egg Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 I think my biggest worry right now - despite massive chunks of body work missing , is that box of electrics in the cabin where all the main controls are. If that is totally ruined - I'm going to be struggling to do anything. Hell - I don't even know if these are 12v - assume so! mrbenn and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 most certainly 6v does anyone have a mk12 workshop manual/PDF or such? I imagine that would be a very helpful for egg to have when it comes to figuring out all the bits (especially as the Model 70 one I have has a wiring diagram, so I would hope the Mk12 workshop manual would have something too ) egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 More prep for its arrival. The Mondeo has been SORN for 46 days. I wanted to leave it there longer, but needs must...the garage should be needed for an Invacar.. So have a cold start vid. Never in doubt. Then the Mazda goes in until Weds. On Weds I'll get a train to Whitstable, walk up to the lock up, remove the Mazda, and hopefully welcome an Invacar! Glad to have the base back in service though RobT, Christine, Mrcento and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SierraMikeHotel Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 As long as nothing's broken! I'd never* do a thing like that. (Once drove through a gate in a hydraulic Citroën without waiting for it to rise. Might have taken out the wooden chock that holds the gates in place when they're shut). egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 *grabs pop corn* For those who dont follow my Invacar thread or have not seen my posts with the Mk12 brochure here it is theres detailed weight and dimension information that should help hopefully when it comes to figuring out how to transport it Mmm is it not a bit cruel to put in a manually operated screen washer?
