1 x Start motor for a 4 cylinder 2 litre engine, in good working condition 1 x single SU carb in good working condition, without air filter housing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121341161211?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_112wt_962...

Ahh i seem to be missing a plastic insulator then as i only have one which goes through the top of the condersor connection and possibly goes a little through the coil wire seem to be missing the bottom plastic insulator.

That is a great help when I typed that last reply I was wondering whether I had the light wired incorrectly. One thing that I have spotted which I may have done wrong which may be a cause. Where the wire connects from the spade to the post where the condenser wire goes to. I currently have it...

we have used a different coil which was working up until last week so if it was working i presume its an unballasted coil. With regards to the original wiring it is still in situ however i have bypassed it all to get it moving around the yard for now. So currently i have a live going to the...

So after bypassing all the wiring so that i can move her to different parts of the yard and working fine, she now wont start. I have bypassed inhibitor switch and also the ballast resistor etc as wiring is going to be tackled lastly. So this is a temp made up loom Things ive checked; Feed to...

So replaced the flexi, still locking up, replaced the old steel lines with new copper ones from the silver servo thing to the caliper and no joy. Only way to get anything considered like brakes is to have the brake pipe going into the servo loosened so that when i dab the brakes the brakes...

Just been told in passing that it might be the seals in the caliper which act as a spring for the pistons. Anyway to test everything? cheers for all the advice so far.

Once ive pressed the pedal down the pistons come out and lock the pads onto the discs. But when i release the pedal they dont retract so theyre locked on and the wheel wont turn unless i open the bleed nipple. Flexi problem then?

Cheers bud

So weve freed up the front pistons in the caliper so theyre nice and free, connected all pipes up. When i push the pedal the pistons come out but dont go back in. Would the only reason for this be collapsed flexi pipe? Or something a bit more involved? Cheers

After seeing that i have no fluid in the box what so ever (oh noes) please can someone point me in the right directions as to what fluid i need and also how much, done a search on here and on google but i am flummoxed. Cheers in advance!

cheers for the advice!

will gearbox change up or down without the kickdown cable? not overly familiar with the working of auto boxes

anyone tried repairing rather than replacing it? if so hows, whats and whens. Cheers

Cheers for the help. Will have to repair then

Can anyone tell me what this snapped cable is please. It was attached to the throttle linkage before it snapped. But im not too sure whats its for so any help would be great. Cheers

So is the left spade the live to the coil and the right the switch supply from the ignition switch? Cheer again for the help

Hi again having a mare with the wiring and it doesnt help that the previous owner looks to have been edward scissor hand! Please can someone let me know what goes on the different connections on the solenoid. I need to bypass the whole wiring loom for now to get it started and running to get...

A few more daft questions and then ill cool it for a bit :oops: can the inhbitor switch be accessed from inside the car or is it under the car jobby? which terminal would i put a live to, to get the starter spinning bypassing the switch altogether? Also the live that goes from the starter /...

Daft question but where is the inhibitor switch? Cheers

just had a quick scan and the yellow wire does indeed look to be the live for the coil, which now leaves the question as to why the starter solenoid isnt working. Lets hope it was that it wasnt in park or in neutral!

I beleive its the old style H reg for the age 1969 is it, its a 2 litre with automatic gearbox single carb and the badge on the back says 2000 dont know whether this helps though if not ill see what else i can find. Cheers

Ill double check that i havent been so daft to not have it in park or neutral. Any idea what the wire is that isnt conneced to the spade anymore? Also is there a diagram available which shows what the connections on the starter soleniod are i.e +/- etc cheers again

apologies should have said, its a 2 litre so the 4 cylinder version and auto if that makes a diff. cheers

Hi all, new to the forum and to Old Skool Rovers So i have a P6 that would turn over but not start ( seperate issue ) However now it wont start and i can see a yellow looking wire dangling around the starter motor solenoid and a spade connection on the solenoid with no wire connected to it...
