I think we have 16 from MMCCNSW we will be driving down over 6 days starting at Junee,

Hi all there is a group from MMCC NSW going to the Rally next year and we have organized the trip over a few days we will meet at Junee stay the night then on to Echuca where we will stay two nights ...

Booked our accommodation today we will be travelling as a Club from NSW with a few stops on the way Probably Junee. Narrandera, Mildura etc. Now I have a year to decide which vehicle to take.

After leaving my lights on and having a flat battery I installed a buzzer years ago.
My method was an N/C relay fitted with the coil in it driven by the ignition wire, then a cable from the on side o ...

Don't you move the radiator away from the motor not towards.

Put the battery charger on the car night before a run to the famous Gnoo Blas Classic in Orange NSW 650 cars on show this year.
It is approx 160klms from home so we left earlyand all went well but l ...

Good straight run though, BP Turbo will do it in one day

Anyone have a dipstick for a 1098 engine my new motor is without one and they are different to the 948 ones
Thanks

There are others making harnesses but they are expensive, For my Ute I bought a cheap one from ESM in UK think it was for a 1958 2 door. From there I modified and added what I needed hiding where I c ...

Firstly can I suggest you acquire a multimeter about $20 on line or places Like Jaycar etc.

So to add these lights you need a relay and a blocking diode I used one I had about 3 or 4 amps. IN5404
The relay is connected to terminal 86 from the load side of ignition switch and terminal 85 to ...

I will finish drawing it up tomorrow see if I can post it

When I built my Ute last year I found my headlights had parkers lamps inside,as they were not needed with my series 5 combination flasher/side lights I made them daytime lights by a connection to ign ...

Ok bit confused here if it only has a wire it is electric. Perhaps this “ copper” wire is actually a tube , does it have a plastic cover over the copper

If it is not an electric it has a capillary tube that takes the temperature to the gauge . It it has a leak the gas comes out of the tube, don’t think that can be fixed.
The wire would be for the li ...

If it is an electric one could be the senser in the head. Not expensive to get a good one repaired.
Sould have two connections one is power in the other wire to the sensor

You can adjust the voltage regulator by following instructions in the manual . But first check your connections on the generator are clean and tight

Generator light on means it is not charging . Sooner or later your battery will go flat.

We cannot let another year go by without a proper National Rally a Combined Club event is what we need. Each Club could assume responsibility for section like show, dinner, rally etc

Results from the Auto Elec was the slip rings were worn out. They could repair for $250 providing they could find parts a Lucas 17ACR. or new one for $300.
Managed to get a new one 45 amp rated from ...
