Thread: 113-372

G'day All, The weather has played havoc with my intentions all week, windy or wet.
I had attended to a few minor tasks along the way, but yesterday afternoon saw a slight break in the weather pattern, so I set about connecting wires to the ignition switch, bit first I had to fit the instrument panel and pull all wires through respective holes,


during this process I noticed a wire numbered No 28, I checked with the wiring guide, Umm, no No28, 26 is the last number.
This wire (28) goes from the bunch at the Ign/sw through to where they connect to the Blackout switch, I will have to check this one out as I have no idea as to what it does,

the other end??

now I'm colourblind as most of you know (seeing Numpties Green 110, which I'm told is Grey!!) but No28 looks to be Brown with a White trace, like most of the wires that come n go from Blackout switch, anyone got a better idea as to what. I do have a copy of a wiring diagram for the S2/2A Bloodbox from Stephen Stansfield (a photocopy) and it is hard to read anyway we will see what the day brings, cheers Dennis

There was another wiring post on this site where I recall them saying that #28 was a duplicate.

I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: check this out and the response from Korg.

G'day All, I must be getting forgetfull, because I had this same dilemma when I rebuilt 'Gladys' my 109Wksp, it had a new wiring loom from Vinwire, after I had posted my previous post, I thought pull the screws from 'Gladys' dash etc and see where No28 (if fitted went!!) well, I soon found what I was looking for, No 28 is there but not connected at either end to anything LOL, it would be a good thing if Vinwire had a short explanation for No28, methinks a email to them sometime today to ask the why/how and include it on their guide sheet, anyway Drifter thanks for that link, cheers Dennis
ps now to help the wife sparrow proof her bantam cage/roost, she lost a chicken 2 days ago, probably.most likely cause of death, was drinking from the water bowl, that the sparrows can get to, 'some sort of bird disease that can/will kill chooks,,.

G'day All, For those who have been here to 19 BOD, will know that space is at a premium at the best of times, but I had to do something with both wings, solution fit them temporarily at least they won't get damaged

thats Max, methinks he is a sleeper for 'Digger', but I sprung him checking out what I was up to!!!, just quietly the Land Rover looks neat with wings fitted

I will now need to get a bigger cover for the time being, more money out

anyway at least they won't get damaged hopefully, cheers Dennis

Exactly right.

No.28 is a duplicate. You'll find that it is exactly the same length and colour as another wire- I forget this number. I talked to Vinwire and they had no idea about it and agreed that it should be deleted.

G'day All, Well no need to contact Vinwire if someone has already done so, , I didn't get to do much on 113-372 today as it took a side seat so to speak, as it's a non-goer ATM and will not be at this years local Anzac day parade, it was a bit of a rush to get 4 Land Rovers out of storage, washed and a short run, back in the shed before the rain this afternoon, but I did manage it.
I had a visitor, 'Mudmouse' with his wife n youngster, they were off to Steamfest, I took this and a few other pix yesterday at Branxton, the P class 3265


anyway cheers Dennis

G'day All, My run of lousy luck is continuing, today on my way home from work in Maitland, I pulled up at a set of traffic lights and noticed that the engine seemed to be running rough, with a distinct knocking noise (above what a Isuzu usually makes), not smooth on take off from stationary, anyway when I arrived home I lifted the lid to be confronted with the noise.
I rang the local diesel service, too busy, so I cracked the injector lines one at a time as they suggested (becuase I suggested I could have a stuck injector), No's 1 & 2 made little or no difference to engine sounds, No's 3 & 4 the engine slowed and ran very rough until fuel line sealed again.
So at 1700hrs I rang Rumbel's garage, Murray seems to think that I could have blown a head gasket between 1 & 2 cylinders, so I'm off to Dungog with it in the morning, thats if it will start, just hoping that it hasn't let any water into a cylinder otherwise it will need to be towed the 85k's, well we will see what tomorrow brings, one thing is for sure, no work on 113-372 cheers Dennis

Bad luck Dinty

At least it wasn't something real expensive, like putting a leg out of bed. My mate has just spent $60K replacing the engine in his Iveco and since then he has put a stone through the brand new radiator and others through two X $900 windscreens.
