  1. Today
  2. If I remember my stuff from school days Watts = volts x amps so a 5watt filament bulb will draw about 0.5 amps on a 12 volt circuit and that should be about 6 ohms resistance. So if you want to buy a load resistor off eBay then look for a 6 ohms load resistor it should be one of those golden aluminium case types. Cost about £5. You'll still need to wire the LED in parallel.
  3. Yesterday
  4. To check if its ignition, if you have a strobe sensor put it on each spark plug HT lead in turn. You should see a regular pulse/flash. If its irregular, check the nodiz setup in more detail. to check if its fuel ,pull the plugs, they should all have similar colours. You may find one or more is either black & sooty (rich) or light grey (too weak.) Is the exhaust smoky black (too rich)? I cant see anything on the video. Post pictures of the plugs to help us more.
  5. I don't recall having any problem. Send me your photo and I will have a go.
  6. How is everyone on here getting great quality photos on their profiles, I have tried many times but have to re size so many times the final picture looks like something from the early 1900s
  7. I'm far down in eastbourne but would be up for a little meet up (providing my cars ready that is)
  8. SORRY WRONG MODEL MINE IS A S3 NOT A 3A
  9. I WOULD LIKE THEM PLEASE, WHEN COULD I COLLECT THEM? 07530113679
  10. Last week
  11. I’m in benfleet. Near Southend Essex.
  12. Where are you, Paul? I'm in Reigate... I'm the area sec for the SE but it's been hard to get anyone out - we had a couple of meets last year but even then, I was the only one with a working kit . The weather is improving, so I'll try arrange something soon...
  13. I think at next month's meet we should discuss a change of venue for future meets. The Malt Shovel has been on its arse for a while and it's no good having meets in Summer when they want to kick us out at 9.
  14. The pub is shutting at 8pm tonight due to a road closure. If you haven't left yet, don't bother.
  15. Having a clear out and found my spare pair of top suspension arms that I kept for my 3A. Does anyone want these before they go to the tip? They are FREE but must be collected from Aldridge, West Midlands. Sorry but I will not post.
  16. Thanks for the offer. Can you liase with Christopher (sparepart) ? I'm sure he would be grateful for any contribution.
  17. As an ex-batch 2 buyer, gets my thumbs up too! Not a criticism, but there's plenty to add/flesh out, and I'm happy to contribute if necessary...
  18. hi so having acquired my first kitcar. its a robinhood s7 dolomite based which i am in the process of recommissioning. not much left to do just a bit of fettling with the carbs mainly. is there any way of getting hold of an original build manual id like to be able to refer to a few bits to see the build process. Also seems a lot more goes on up country are there any gatherings around the southeast at all paul
  19. Hi. I know that there is a Wats App for Minari owners, just wondering if there are any other chaps or girls on here that may have one. cheers Dave
  20. Are you sure you called the right place - not GBS, GBC: https://www.facebook.com/GBC.Autos.Tamworth/?locale=en_GB
  21. I just Call Snodhuurst service station and they dont do kit cars any more GBS is full... its hard to find someone that cat help me out. an more ? Someone? thanks
  22. Is it already registered in Poland, it has Polish plates, can you not bring it in via Nova?
  23. yes i know what your saying about the IVA and already have a list. I contacted GBC and they are full... Im trying other garages
  24. Why on earth would you do that? Most people convert TO FI, not the other way round Sounds to me like you're not running on all cylinders ( I mean the engine but I'm not sure about you either ). Check you're getting a spark to all cylinders? And carb setup but I know nothing about carbs...
  25. Do you know roughly what needs doing? Could it be driven to an IVA test? Might be worth taking it, failing but getting a list of fail points so you can show it to someone and they can quote you to fix it. An IVA retest is only £95. Richy on here runs a garage called GBC (?) Autos in Tadworth. Give him a list and he should be able to give you a quote.
  26. Been having a few issues with rear brake drums over last few weeks. disassemble them all to find someone had used a screw on handbrake adjustment. It was on side that was leaking too. Drivers side was leaking passenger side was all fine. managed to find 2nd hand pair in south of Sheffield so wasn’t too bad. Had to clean the handbrake adjustment bracket up and little bit now moving all smoothly etc . While I was there I cleaned rear drums all up and rusted treated them and also painted them. Pictures will follow later this week. Got all new parts from Burton power so just got to install them. started few other jobs which post about very soon. done this post on my phone so see how it looks etc if goes alright I’ll post more off phone as always got with me instead of pc at work lol.
