Wouldn't the wife love that

I reckon that I should get the rest of the interior painting done too, get the seat box back in one bit and chase up my hood bows. That should occupy the time this weekend as I wont be going too far from the house.

Well - I put the battery in (after modifying the batt rack to take a 17 plate battery). She runs well. Clutch and brakes do what they are meant to; very happy now. Just need to finish off the battery clamp that I am making to take the bigger battery and that will be that bit done.

My ignition warning light (red central top on dash) comes on when the key is turned on and stays on whilst the car runs; doesn't go out.... Any suggestions??? The alternator is charging and the idle is set right - its gotta be something else. I hope so anyway. Not having a good run with Landy's and electrickery this week.

Howdy Troy , Isn't the red light for the oil pressure as well ..... might have a dickie oil pressure switch or a loose wire some where ..... could be wrong . If not stand back and throw a bucket of water at the electricals and see if it goes out then lol

Mick,

The book says the oil pressure light is the green one on the lower left of the dash. Looks like its the bucket of water trick mate

It's the alternator light my good man ... check connections and wires

I'm onto it (well later, as I have found the taste for beer - again). Possibly the weekend.

Wanted - 1 Alternator..... Took it off this arvo and she rattles. I take it that this is the problem. Well, if it isn't, its not good enough to go back on.

How that, 2 x alternators this week. Olmates was replaced amd now the olutes will need ot be as well.
