All info that's useful.
Glad you got one :)

Wot ^ he sed

:)

Depends if you want a new viscous coupling and uj's ;)

Had my car aircon fully gassed today which is the first time it has worked since having it.
Cost me a condenser, dryer, tristate switch, binary switch and a used pipe from pump to condenser.

It was pumping out air at 6.5 deg c within a minute of starting. Well happy.

Must agree with Gilbert though.

The top 3" was proper looking gravel. Under it was mire! Thank God the right side stayed on top!

Wtf is all I can say wow

Glad to hear you have it all sorted now x2.

There will be another niggle. It's inversely proportional to the square root of pi.

Or at least there shouldn't be, even though Bolt admitted that he walked around to the front of the car and looked at the RH side as looking at it......

I did laugh to myself lol

Drivers side, passenger side I never use.
Left side or right as sitting in vehicle. It's the way they are described in the factory.

No confusion then!

:)

I haven't but it needs to be minimum 10amp charging current.

Thanks for the links. I'll look later. :)

Yeah, no glowplugs and high compression, but still need good battery :)

Question!

How have you fitted it as it has centre terminals. My leads only just reach the standard layout

Oh and left on charge overnight and still only up to 90%.

Charger is nearly new.
Battery is showing about 12.3 to 12.4 v which suggests a cell is dead. It can sit for weeks without problem apart from above voltage.

My thoughts were dead cell in battery.

Car gets used every day.

Looks like a new battery needed :(

The old alternator only ever really charged at about 13.6 to 13.8 hence the new alternator regulator I fitted. I think that's what cooked the battery.

I know what my thoughts are, but looking for more input etc.

I had issues last year with a lot of strange electrical gremlins that stopped when I charged my battery with mains charger.

It took considerably longer than the normal 12hrs or there abouts for a depleted battery as I understand it.

I've since charged it a few months ago and done again this weekend taking and it's taken best part of 24hrs.

I have a new rectifier with 14.5v set point and a reading at the terminal of 14.2-14.3v which should be good enough to keep it charged.

Give us ya thoughts guys.

I'll be up for it, in case there are any common jobs with other my list is as follows:

Air-con needs sorting. I have a new condenser and water extractor fitted, though I have found some serious chafing on one of the compressor pipes.
Climate control likes to go full hot at anything other than 'Lo' setting.
Heated seats
Possible steering play
Only running on six cylinders...

Is it a diesel ;)

No problem

I've had new ones that occasionally threw up errors and replaced with other new ones from eBay had no problems

Need to look for ones that specify set point of 14.4 or higher. Some don't.
