What do you have that's like an ignition switch? Yes, the fuel pump will be fed with a switched live but also will be killed by the inertia switch and might have something unusual if it's controlled by the ECU. The bit I would be most concerned about with wiring it that way is drawing too much current. This might blow a fuse or ask the wire to carry too much current. What's the model or part number of the alternator? Jonathan
-
What SM25T says. What's the nominal current draw on that feed? Can you post or link to the diagram or manual? Jonathan
-
Might be normal. Do R500s have pulley sizes designed for higher engine speeds? Jonathan
-
Not sure... what will happen to thos of us who have those tyres already fitted come the date in question ?? I asked the manufacturer and a supplier about this and got quick, straight answers. Jonathan
-
Only in the USA so far, including this one. Part number might be 5665C or 5665PT. Jonathan

4 ancient Michelin Pilot tyres, 185/60R14, 2 about 2mm tread, 2 about 5mm tread. Don't know why anyone would want them. Available soon, South Oxfordshire. Jonathan

Disconnect the feed and then measure the voltage (above earth) at the end of the lead. With the lead disconnected measure the resistance from the sender terminal to earth. And how full is the tank? Jonathan

Have you found this thread? Jonathan

O/T Windscreen cleaner in coolant. Problem or not?
Jonathan Kay replied to tangomikeromeo's topic in TechTalk
But it wasn't meant as a sarcastic comment on searching... it was about the number of people who must have done exactly the same as "your colleague". ;-) Jonathan -
There was a post about 21's a little while back and from memory they will still be produced but that they will no longer be E marked. Yes, link posted earlier in this thread. Jonathan

O/T Windscreen cleaner in coolant. Problem or not?
Jonathan Kay replied to tangomikeromeo's topic in TechTalk
Flush as soon as practical. I think it will be OK for a short unthrashed drive. Jonathan PS: "Washer fluid in coolant" has 2M hits on Google. -
There's a wiring diagram in the archives. Why do you want one... racing cut-off or avoiding drain while it's unused? Do you need an immobiliser? Any chance of it living on a conditioning charger? Jonathan
-
What do you use it for? And how important is grip in the wet? I'd start here. (And have just bought a set of A021Rs.) Jonathan
-
Have you looked at this sort of replacement stuff? Jonathan
-
While you're under please could you take a few photos. Is the access at the side similar to the Ford? Jonathan
-
There seem to be lots of repair kits for Renault sunroofs: what model? Jonathan PS: Some people find that Marmite works OK... others don't.
-
Do you work in Electronic Data Interchange... ? Jonathan
-
And one in South Oxfordshire... Jonathan
-
Access isn't easy. Have a look in the archives or here if you can't work it out. Jonathan
-
I think that failure on searching (and possibly success) should return the search term(s) as editable text in the search field. Not a high priority. Jonathan

That's all you need to know. The potentiometer (or whatever*) needs to offer the same resistance. If you do the test with the gauge still in the car and using the car's battery don't forget to use a fused feed. Jonathan * For your purposes you could do this with a few fixed resistors.
-
Not silly: that's the way to do it. Do you know the resistance range for your sender, or is there anything written on the gauge? Jonathan
