    I don't know about size, but have you found Holden's? Jonathan
  2. Jonathan Kay
    Thanks for adding the solution. Jonathan

    "If I could work out how to post a photo I would post a picture of it." There are three ways of posting images: two by uploading them to this site, and one by linking to them on another site eg Dropbox. They're all described in the Forum User Guide: https://www.lotus7.club/forum/chitchat/forum-user-guide Most Members now use the shortcut upload: https://www.lotus7.club/comment/2252151#comment-2252151 That's quick and comparatively easy, but it does limit the resolution of the image. Not usually a problem for photos but can be for screen dumps, images of documents etc. The other two methods don't have that limitation. Please let me know if you need any help or want to practise.

    Thanks In addition to additional brake lights and typical accessory power supplies other things that might be wired through the boot include sound systems and sidelight-switched feeds for instrument illumination. Jonathan

    What model and year, please? Jonathan
  6. Jonathan Kay
    Is it Green/Purple? (I'm on a 'phone.) That's for an additional brake light Jonathan

    PS: For anyone replacing the telltale with an LED, possibly as part of replacing all of the warning lights... if you have a single telltale the existing circuit won't work with that. The diode trick will fix it. Jonathan

    Have you considered wrapping the existing dash? Jonathan
  9. Jonathan Kay
    Yes: with traditional analogue resistance-to-earth systems... ... you can test the gauge by ignition ON, disconnecting the signal wire at the sender, and then watching the gauge as you touch that wire to a good earth and to nothing. ... and you can test the sender by disconnecting it and measuring its resistance when it's cold and and when it's hot. But I don't know if a new Duratec has a digital system... Jonathan

    It's common to need a new relay when you change to LEDs. That won't fix the problem caused by the circuit that uses a single telltale. Changing the telltale to an LED won't fix it. Jonathan
  11. Jonathan Kay
    Yes. I'm assuming that you have a single telltale lamp on the dash. Please say if you have two because the rest of this will be irrelevant Here's the explanation and a link to a diode kit: /comment/2419517#comment-2419517. Jonathan

    Are there enough dirty ends to do a comparative trial of methods? Jonathan
  13. Jonathan Kay
    I don't know why it's ticking and not turning over. I suggest monitoring the battery voltage at rest and the minimum as you try to crank. Jonathan

  15. Jonathan Kay
    Well done. When appropriate please could you add your thoughts on that battery to the Li ion batteries thread. Thanks Jonathan

    It's quite likely to be solved by a bit of adjustment. There are four (or more) types of speedometers and drives on Sevens: which one is yours? Guide to Speedometers. Jonathan

    "I don't know why the 1st two pictures are coming out upside down from my phone...": The explanation and the workaround. Jonathan

    Very widely used... but are you sure about that Escort 1300E? Jonathan
  20. Jonathan Kay
    The Speedometer Guide includes advice on fitting the new sensor. Jonathan

    Shortcut upload: Original method upload:
  25. Jonathan Kay
    "Apologies for the images being a little small and blurry - not sure how I can improve them." The shortcut upload automatically reduces the resolution. It's not usually a problem for photos but it can be for text and technical images. You can avoid that by using the original upload method, starting with this tool: If you send me one of the original images I'll do it both ways so that we can see if there's a difference. Jonathan
