Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Thanks - thats the one - never see them either. Its strange how some cars are kept and others are lost in time. I can think of lots of nice cars from the past that have been lost or very few exist...

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? went to the shops last night , coming back the diplights failed  so today i removed that dreaded dim-dip system {1987 d-lly} i found that the 5 pin relay had melted a bit on term 5 and was corroded too the relay still worked ok on the bench though anyway i linked 1+5 on the base and removed the other relay +disconnected the resistor, it only too abt an hour to do and its all working now  all u need is a short peice of flexable wire&2 male spade connectors crimped on at each end the resistor can just be unplugged my car has been fitted with halogen bulbs btw so that probably overloaded the wiring even more andy

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Why don't folk listen to advice until it's too late?  Don't forget to remove the diode as well, it's the 'duck whistle' clipped onto the flasher canister, next to the steering column...  ken ayjay wrote: went to the shops last night , coming back the diplights failed so today i removed that dreaded dim-dip system {1987 d-lly} i found that the 5 pin relay had melted a bit on term 5 and was corroded too the relay still worked ok on the bench though anyway i linked 1+5 on the base and removed the other relay +disconnected the resistor, it only too abt an hour to do and its all working now all u need is a short peice of flexable wire&2 male spade connectors crimped on at each end the resistor can just be unplugged my car has been fitted with halogen bulbs btw so that probably overloaded the wiring even more andy

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? D6, doesn't a Renault 6 have more in common with this creation, than with a Dyane, on a 'drive-by assessment' at least? http://img7.autonavigator.ru/carsfoto/1 ... ch_427.jpgken

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? ayjay, it unplugs easily. Don't destroy it, as I've found a use for them on Dyanes... ayjay wrote: i neverv get round to doing things ken i didn,t realise the diode needed to be removed aswell i know where its located so ill snip it or maybye i can get it apart and remove said diode cheers ken
