  1. That's where I'd start. You can pull bulbs one at a time and see which one makes a difference. And use an additional lead to provide a temporary good earth and ditto. Jonathan
  2. I don't know of another source. I've asked the Member who might. Some light reading: Jonathan
  3. Thanks, John. Looking forward to the next version. : - ) Jonathan
  4. Why do electric Porsches have a two-speed transmission? Jonathan
  5. Neat. Initial thoughts. 1 How can you fill in what happens below 10 mph for the clutched ICEV? 2 What are the useful on-the-road outcome measures? I was brought up on 0 to 60 mph figures and the repeated simultaneous insistence that they weren't very relevant (see also GDP). Motor or Autocar advocated 30 to 50 mph times and distances as being much more informative, possibly in non-overdrive top. 3 When you've decided on those measures how much effect does the need to change gear have on them? There were always allegations of gear ratios specifically chosen to make it just possible to reach the final speed without another shift. The Lotus Elan Sprint might have been mentioned. Jonathan
  6. There’s some discussion in the archives. I’ll dig it out after tonight’s rehearsal. Jonathan
  7. Yes, the switch usually illuminates with the flashing hazard warning lights. Do the indicators and hazard warning light all work as they should? I don't understand the bit about "180 deg". Jonathan
  8. What's the maximum power of the engine? What's the clearance under the sump? And do you care about appearance? Jonathan
  9. Could be that the hole is too large. Could be that the thermostat isn't closing. Overcooling is increasingly being reported on K series Sevens. And a radiator blind might be the best solution... and is an easy experiment. ... But I don't understand the big effect on fuel consumption. Jonathan
  10. Can this be made any better with red LED lamps under clear covers? Jonathan
  11. What make is it? And where are you? Jonathan
  12. The recommended supplier clearly changes. But would that also apply to recommended grade? Thanks Jonathan
  13. I've got a few ACES documents, but can't be sure if they're the right ones. Please let me know if he'd like them. Jonathan
  14. Thanks. And does he already have the appropriate instructions with the wiring diagram? Jonathan
  15. The current Owner's Handbook has: Jonathan
  16. How about jumping in the air while waving the result, as with A levels? Skirts could be optional. : - ) Jonathan
  17. "Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it." : - ) Jonathan
  18. I can supply the wiring diagram for the Seven. What make and model are the shift lights? There's a fair bit about this in the archives, with some problems IIRC. Jonathan
  19. You can use the side light circuit for the DRL. I'd expect the existing fuse and cabling for incandescent side lights to be suitable for LED DRLs, but I'd like to know the nominal power rating of the DRLs. Doing it will this way will of course turn on the rear position (tail) lights. Jonathan
  20. Thanks for adding the answer. Does your master switch isolate the alternator from the battery, and would that fault explain what you observed accordingly? ... It might be possible to rebuild the existing alternator... and that approach means that it will fit the existing brackets and wiring! Jonathan
  21. Thanks A table of the British "standard" wiring colours can help when you're trying to identify what's what, especially with the new style of factory diagram. I like the AES version. Jonathan
  22. Very interesting. And I'd definitely refer to that in the correspondence with Caerbont. Jonathan
