I said that to the wife and all I got was a slap![FishSlap].
Hopefully I can hook in this weekend and may even get the motor back in place.

Evening all
Finally had a chance to refit the engine into Ralph, Having a hell of a time lining up the bolt on the bell housing though (still going). Cannot for love or money find the bolts, only a couple of nuts. Can someone tell me what thread they are please so I can buy some more.

Thanks Ian

Had a mans look and found the studs for the bell housing, couldn't get it to line up so walked away and came back Sunday after a nice motorbike ride, a plate of eggs benedict and cappuccino and had another go. Sure as, it almost went straight in with only a little bit of threatening language ;). Bolted it all up, hooked up the fuel lines but I need to get a new accelerator cable. This weekend is out as we are at Janowen 4wd park with the GCLRO club. At least now I fell I am starting to get somewhere with it though. If I get home whilst still light this arvo, I'll take a picky and put it up.
Cheers Ian

Got the exhaust fitted and most of the dash re-wired on Saturday arvo but I have a question or 2. I know the bottom left red light (larger one, cant remember what the smaller red one is for at all) was the indicators and the yellow in the middle of the instruments is the oil warning light, but I cannot remember what the blue and orange are on the bottom right either. I assume one is low fuel and one is charge light. Any ideas please.
Thx Ian

I dont remember seeing them standard on my 2a but I can not remember it that well.
My s3 Diesel had a blue light that was low fuel.
I was just wondering where is the key?

pretty sure Blue is main beam on the headlights.

Very well could be as i forgot the speedo gauge does not have the highbeam on the early s2a( i think they got them later on). There is normally switches there instead.

Hi Pete/ Tony
The hi beam light is on the LH gauge so at the moment it has me stumped. The key is under the RH gauge on the firewall, it's a diesel and apparently that's where they were with a starter button (still gotta find one of those)

is the starter button the same as what are on the petrols?
the one up the top in the middle?

From what I have seen on a couple of other club cars that looks like the animal, but mine has never had one since I have owned it, it has only ever had a key switch as the previous owner rewired and made a complete mess of the whole wiring harness, hence the new one I am putting through.
