And I know it's obvious, but make sure you get a GOOD brush - a friend of mine painted his VW camper with a brush after seeing an article in practical classics magazine. The "reader's restoration" in the mag he showed me was complimented on the standard of the paint, which was almost as go...

sorry, couldn't resist. What sort of noise is it - static / interference over the music (or whatever you're listening to)?

turn the volume down?

where abouts in south Wales? I'm in Carmarthen, and there are a few around here who might be able to help.

Car's fixed now, thought I'd post this just to explain the problem and to remind people never to ignore the obvious - My dynamo DID need polarising, as Grainger suggested. However, the donor car from which I got the dynamo was positive earth as is my car. So I just assumed all would be okay. In my c...

Thanks again to both of you for your replies. You're right that the dynamos are supplied positive earth, Grainger, but my car is still very original in some respects (though modified elsewhere) and it is positive earth. So no conflict there.

To give you a more accurate Idea, I was only doing about 20mph at the time and as the tractor turned off the road he started up a slope. So the tail end ...

Hi all, I've recently bought myself a Morris Traveller which needs a little bit of work to get it useable on a daily basis. This afternoon, I went out for a short spin and totally misjudged a ploughing arm sticking out of the back of a tractor while it was turning :oops: As a result, I now have no w...
