Welcome. Would you like an Assembly Guide? Decisions commonly needed on harnesses: how many points, do you want the buckles on the inboard or outboard strap, and do you want the waist straps to pull up or down? Jonathan
-
What happens when you try to start the engine... do you hear a click? Does the battery voltage drop, and how low? Jonathan
-
There's quite a lot on this in the archives, IIRC it's often recommended to change at least every 5 years, regardless of use or mileage. (James Whiting's schedule had "48.000 miles".) And to have a look at the water pump while you're down there. Jonathan
-
Thanks, all. And does that initial sweep of the instruments include the rev counter? Jonathan
-
Thankyou, Geoff. Jonathan
-
Thankyou, John. Jonathan
-
Please could someone document the normal starting sequence for Duratecs with a push-button and an immobiliser. There's a post somewhere in the archives about pushing twice... Thanks Jonathan

Some measurements of drain at rest in Sevens. The current figures in that thread should be compared with the 1.5 mA quoted for your panel. Jonathan
-
First rough approximation: Your battery has 30 A h. That panel draws 1.1 A h / month. It will take 30 / 1.1 = 27 months to fully drain your battery. Jonathan PS: Those A h figures are measures of energy. That's because they're referring to a system which runs at approximately constant voltage so that it doesn't need to be included in the specification. PPS: There are a few measurements in the archives of drain at rest in Sevens. It varies greatly between cars. I'll dig them out for comparison when I've stopped wrestling with clinical data standards.

PDF version of K series build & owners manual?

I'm glad it's not just me! : - ) Have you inspected and cleaned the relevant earth connections as well as the feeds? Does it have a starter relay? Jonathan
-
Graham What do you now think was the problem when it wouldn't crank? Thanks Jonathan
-
That's why I asked about the specific unit. That combined unit won't work with the simplest switched-earth circuit for the reversing light. But there are some workarounds: "Reverse light & New Caterham Light Kit". Jonathan

This article? https://www.aronline.co.uk/engines/k-series-engine/ Jonathan
-
Which unit are you looking at, please? If it's just a numberplate light then what Ian says. You can get it right by identifying the wires by colour, or testing with a meter, or suck it and see. Jonathan
-
What's the battery's (or batteries') voltage at rest and minimum during attempted cranking? An advantage of refurbishing the existing starter is that both the connections and the mounting won't need any modification. Have you got all of the wiring diagrams that you need? Jonathan

I don't have either specs of senders or part numbers of recent senders. It would be great if you could share these as you work them out. Thanks Jonathan
-
Have you already got the specification for the senders to ensure that you buy something compatible? Jonathan

There are some discussions in the archives: I'll look tonight. Have you found the Speedometer Guide? Jonathan
