Bad ECU earth would explain nicely. (I didn't know it happened in practice.) Jonathan
-
After those two: What sort of dash? Do you have a kill/ master switch? Check ECU and other relevant fuses. Check that all sensors and similar are connected.Jonathan
-
As above + advice with pictures from Alcester Racing 7s. Jonathan
-
According to the archives just about everyone is happy with their choice. Check that clamps and heater bits are included, if you want them. Mine was Classic Silicone Hoses. (They were cheapest at the time and replied to emails.) There might be a current Club discount from one or more suppliers... Jonathan

I'm confused. How many vehicles are there... a car and a trailer "van"? Jonathan
-
If the tank is truely empty (ie you've not just run the car until it stops) then I'd suggest adding some fuel and running the car until it dies. The meter reading at that point will then be your "practical" empty reading, as there is a surprising quantity of fuel in the tank that isn't able to be picked up, and I'm not sure whether the lowest reading of the sender is in that "dead" fuel area, or not. Wise words. Jonathan

Has it got any worse in the last decade? Jonathan
-
Have you got a link for those, please? Recently discussed here. Jonathan
-
Interesting. Thanks, Bri. Jonathan
-
Ahem... ... even though I'm a dab ha(n)d with a big hammer... ;-) Jonathan

Set the meter to resistance and clip it across the sender. I'd disconnect any other leads. There is a table of values somewhere in the archive, but you should be able to find the range without that. Use the smallest range setting that works. Someone recently suggested 2 L per step. Jonathan

That would be... a seal that lost its bearings? Jonathan

K Series Dry Sump fitting - what part is this?
Jonathan Kay replied to Monte Busa's topic in TechTalk
... and very much like a bloke that maintains his own Seven blog site, Alcester Racing, Excellent site, and Myles is still around. Jonathan -
Fuel level gauge- where is min & max on level gauge in tank?
Jonathan Kay replied to zetec's topic in TechTalk
The resistor readings for various senders are in the archives. Never played with a Stack gauge but can you do it one pass by running to empty then adding say 5 l at a time? Jonathan -
I'd be having similar thoughts. You can use temporary earth jumps to see if they fix it before you do it definitively. Jonathan
-
Does it ever go on a charger? And if so how is that connected in relation to the master switch? I don't think there are any other additional problems from piggybacking as you describe. You should inform any other driver or buyer that it's a bit unusual. Jonathan
-
Thanks for the screendump: I never use that view. I usually have that set to "New & updated topics". Jonathan PS: But I really don't like tabs as display controls on that sort of interface.

This came up recently in a discussion of the best wheels for a 160. I don't know a supplier for non-magnesium. Hope you find one. Jonathan
-
Which view is that, please, Steve? And is it affected by being logged in or not? Jonathan
-
Isn't that a bit complicated: why do it in turns rather than length? You need to know the thread diameter and the safety factor and then check you have that length of protruding stud and nuts with that minimum axial length of thread. (And that's why I asked that in the first response.) There are several reports of short studs in the archives. I've never replaced them but it doesn't sound too hard. Let us know if you can't find the procedure. Jonathan
-
We have an expert technical X-rayist member... But I think you're going to get very conservative answers with or without images because no-one has done enough tests to know, and the effects of failure could be quite nasty. Jonathan
-
Does anyone know if these are point to point wired or if there is a control or relay unit? Or have a wiring diagram? In the absence of that I'd expose the switch in the driver's door and run a good temporary feed into the wire to the passenger's door's window. That should test whether the problem is in the switch. If that doesn't work I'd run a good temporary feed into the terminal on the passenger's door switch that receives the feed from the driver's door. Jonathan
-
Uisng your multimeter check the feed to the switch, and then the output voltage at the switch terminals with the switch in each position. Have you got the appropriate wiring diagram? Jonathan
-
OK: 3 showing now. Well done. Can you see the little residual icon just before 2? Jonathan
