Have a rake through forums, there are a couple of really goo wiring diagrams for column switches, I used them to do mine no probs

Now sorted....... turned out to be faulty push start switch in gear knob ..... new circuit from ignition switch to starter solenoid through 4 pin relay just the job

New battery, fully charged, when i left ignition on and put jump lead from +ve side of battery to +ve feed to solenoid and car turned over and fired up

Car all ready for MOT ..... and it wont turn over, just a loud 'click' from solenoid, all connections & earths checked and OK, so time for a replacement..... but struggling to get correct unit, it appears as though there are 5 variants for the 2L and I'm struggling to get correct one (Lucas), now awaiting 'special order' delivery from europarts

See you all the 26th Harry

Hi sorry its my fat fingers late at night, other side of lamp should go to Ign switch +ve ....sorry

It should work

Try bigger wattage bulb in alternator feed wire temporary before stripping alternator off, I had same problem with ignition on - blue thin wire to alternator is +ve to one terminal of warning light and other terminal of warning light is to -ve, when the engine starts and alternator running the bulb 'excites' the alternator and the blue wire changes to -ve ,hence the light goes out, if the alternator belt snaps etc the alternator stops charging and the blue wire returns to a +ve condition illuminating ignition light, sounds complicated but really easy if you break it down

I put a number plate lamp under bonnet in parallel with ignition light to excite alternator

Hi Alan I've just sourced bushes & clamp for anti roll bar mod so I've that to do and fit my new wings then I'm ready, just been slow cos of recent health probs but carbs fitted & sounds good, ill give you a shout when its back on road, cheers

'Bit of a long shot' but I'm after a pair of front anti roll bar clamps to fit a Sierra 24mm roll bar, my clamps are flat across the section and I'm after a pair with centre ridge to fit poly bushes Regards Harry

https://www.burtonpower.com/breather-elbow-sohc-pinto-681f-x-flow-pre-x-flow-20mm-fp280.html Hi Lewis I have literally taken mine out yesterday and replaced it with a unit purchased from Burton (see link above) I removed old breather with a pair of pump pliers, rotating it back and forth whilst lifting and it came out no trouble, cleaned hole with cloth and burton aluminium breather pressed straight in with a gentle tap home with a nylon hammer regards Harry

Thanks Grim I've ordered one of those Harry

Hi I'm after a Pinto engine crankcase breather valve (preferably without valve inside) so i can fit oil catch tank when I fit my bike carbs cheers Harry

lol no mate ill fit them when im feeling a bit better, hang on in there you seem to be winning battle with webbers

Still haven't got around to fitting your bike carbs yet Tony, hope it goes a bit smoother for me than the toil you've had with the twin webbers Harry

there's some good wiring diagrams on here for sierra stalks, mini wiper motors to sierra stalks etc etc

Well done Pete great achievement Wishing you many miles of safe enjoyable driving Harry

Hi Alan Thanks for your reply, I bought vacuum hose to do bike carb set up and was just going to use servo fitting a original non return valve, I was just seeing if anyone had one lying about as I was wary of cutting fittings from mine Cheers Harry

Hi Im after a pinto brake servo pipe if anyone has one lying about Cheers
