I'm getting it I think. Ta for my help

Thanks for your help. I'm in New Brighton on the Wirral, up north. Boooo. It is advanced to about 8 now and is driving really nicely. When it was retarded to 2-3 as per unleaded engine spec it was slow and overheating loads, running on and that. Just to clarify, the mechanic I've spoken to advised t...

Fitted a recon unleaded engine 3500 miles ago. Right from the start it ran rich and was "hunting", then over 2 weeks quickly deteriorated to chugging and backfiring and running hot and running on, took it into a local garage, points had closed and knocked timing out also carb was all over ...

I was thinking of adding a few extra electrical thingies like a ciggy lighter and a few clocks and that. being something of a novice I don't really fancy chopping into the existing wiring. Saw these on the Maplin site. Was thinking of piling them all on the pozzie and negging to earth anywhere. What...

A ha!!! Now it all makes sense.

All of a sudden my handbrake keeps sticking on, burning brakes at first, now just a very weak handbrake when actually on. I read my Haynes manual which said use plusgas. Where's the best place to squirt it.

So here's my plan, disconnect the battery, snip the brown wire below terminal A on the regulator, shove a connector block or something with an inline fuse onto the reattached brown wire, my lighters got two male spade connectors, a peripheral one attached to the body of the lighter, and a central on...

hang on, so neggy earth is what it's been changed to? So it's already done I think. Hooray

I've just gone out and had a look. First off I note there are no wires coming from the top of the regulator (told you i was crap at this) But the neggy terminal on the battery is connected to the body. So I'm still neggy earthed I take it

My brain hurts :wink: ...How do I know someone hasn't already done that? I've got a cd player in, would that have needed the polarity to be changed for it to work? And re: taking a feed from the thick brown wire (terminal A on the regulator), is that coming from the bottom of it or the top or doesn'...

I reckon permanently live so I can accidently flatten my battery whilst using it

Hello all, I've got a 65 traveller and want to fit a ciggy lighter as an incar power source. I appreciate it's probably the easiest job on earth but I'm new to all this electrics business. A few top tips (including how to do the green light on my lighter as well ) would be spiffing. yours John-Paul
