Post Re: What did you do with your A Series today?
Bought a new starter motor today, since the old one has died, have bought an new old stock pull starter, so need some sort of rope into the car (want to make an old toilet lever system with wooden handle hanging down from the dash) to start the engine..........

But after installing it it seems that the battery was flat too.... (something is draining the battery I think it is my 12volt socket).....

So tomorrow I will have to start my engine out of the engine bay..... At my work everybody is used to that scene anyway ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Didn't drive the shed but got a LHD headlamp bar from Bradford today - he has two lovely looking H Vans in and he has sold another to a customer of mine and I had a good look around it today and I have to say they have done a great job on it!

it might be the diodes in the alternator leaking"back current" ipgo
try disconecting the output lead/cable at the back of the alternator then see if the battery is ok or not the next morning :?:

That engine sounds as sweet as a nut - and the car looks beautiful! Perfect.

Post Re: What did you do with your A Series today?
I made a list of all the things wrong with mine on my twenty minute drive to work.

It's fucking cold.
The slow puncture its had for two years hasn't fixed itself.
The kingpins are borderline dangerous.
It's fucking cold.
The brake warning light spends more time on than off.
One of the rear springs has definitely collapsed.
The handbrake is merely for decoration. It serves no practical purpose.
It's fucking cold.
One headlamp doesn't work.
Three of the four indicators on the front wings don't work.
The battery is starting to go flat.
The seats collapsing,
The passenger door doesn't shut without violence.
Its fucking cold.
I think it's yellow, but its so dirty I can't remember.
It's fucking cold.


Does anybody fancy coming round and fixing all that shit? Or just making it warmer would be fine.

Changed, plugs, engine oil and gearbox oil.

Greased the 13 greace nipples.

Made a new front crossmember as the old one was foulded by the new exhaust.

Refitted the engine undertray.
