    Lots of people are using replacement LED lamps. Quick check list: Do you care if they're legal, and, if so, are they? Resistors! Suitable relay for indicators and flashers. Old ones might not work because of the different load. Off axis illumination. (All photos appreciated.) Clear or orange lamp and lens for indicators.Jonathan

    That shows a URL as text... you need to use the image icon for it to show inline here. Jonathan

    You need to tweak the Dropbox URL to make the image show inline. I posted the (suf)fix in the Forum User Guide. Jonathan

    In order of frequency I use iCloud Photo Sharing, Dropbox, and just about everything else known to man. I think that we now know how to persuade BlatChat to show single images (but not albums, galleries etc) inline from all of them... What's the problem with Photobucket? Jonathan PS: You can show images in BlatChat either by uploading them directly or by linking to them on an another server.

    Well done. Could you add a photo of it fitted, please? Jonathan

    I think that James' speedometer is mechanical... Jonathan

    Does anyone have any experiences of Speedograph Richfield? Thanks Jonathan
  8. Jonathan Kay
    As you say. Two previous mentions in the archives, but no direct experiences. Jonathan

    I'd choose the transmission ratios I wanted first then play with the instruments later... Other options include: A GPS speedometer, either a dedicated instrument or an app on a smart 'phone. Keeping the rude mechanicals and adding some accurate speed marks to the face of the speedometer with Letraset or similar. Having the speedometer tweaked eg by John Ostick.Jonathan

    Well the units arrived and there's no mention of the need to include a resistor. So I guess it doesn't need one.... Probably not, but I'd now ask the supplier and manufacturer directly. I've also got the CC sub loom, anyone know which of the two (grey and green) is the live and earth? To my surprise I can't find the answer, even in the Guide. Have you got the subloom connected to the main loom? I'd use a multimeter to test. But then I wouldn't connect anything to a car before testing the wiring. Jonathan

    There was a recent discussion of AP clutches, torque spec and disintegration. I'd start with 1 and 2. In the latter John Vine unearthed a useful contact at AP. Jonathan

    Obviously if ones supplied or the instructions say it needs a resistor then I'll fit one. That's what I'm waiting to hear. :-) Jonathan

    Mine got a lot quieter when I eventually finished rivetting the interior panels... Jonathan

    ... an LED rain light would be need a resistor, either built in or separate to the unit? Yes. How would you know if it's built in or not or would you be totally reliant on the instructions? Don't worry about that. Once you've chosen the one you want it won't be too hard to sort that out from the instructions, asking the supplier or manufacturer and... asking here. :-) Jonathan

    AFAIK the only relevant resistor would be one needed by an LED lamp, there's nothing particularly related to the usage or any change of usage. Unless you're considering using a single lamp both as a rain light on track and a brake light on the road... then there's some diode trickery that's covered in those discussions. Jonathan

    Previous discussion, possibly including cheaper sources. Jonathan

    AFAIK the only relevant resistor would be one needed by an LED lamp, there's nothing particularly related to the usage or any change of usage. (Indicators are different.) Some LEDs for car use come with the appropriate resistor, either as part of the assembly, or for you to fit. If they don't then the relevant information should be included, and there are some clever people here who can work out what's needed. The resistors are widely available. So when you've decided what to fit, and if it's an LED, post the information here. Jonathan

    Would you consider vinyl wrap? Jonathan

    Banjo fitting. There are probably some in your brake lines. Jonathan

    How did you bleed after the top-up, and is yours usually easy to bleed... or one of the other kind? Jonathan

    No problems with temperature before this? No other work on it recently? It might be worth starting with where you had to tighten the clip. Remove that hose and have a good look at it on the bench? Then clean everything thoroughly to make it easier to find the leak if it's somewhere else. With that degree of leakage I wouldn't waste money on testing with coolant other than water until you've found out where it is. Except for protection against freezing.Jonathan PS: it might be worth changing the Subject line to attract a bit more attention.
