Something else the starter will work when i pull out the starter know even with the ignition key in the off position. it does not start though until you put the key in the on position is this normal

Yes

Its no wonder it broke, they are a real pain to fit. Stevey had the seats out and was lying on his back with a hand lamp to see up in under the dash!

Heres the part, I think!

Ahh - that's only for early cars - not for the Ign light 'in the speedo' cars. Is that what you need ?

[Heronwood]

Mine is an early model q=without the large central speed. Mine is at the side .

The ignition red light was on top of the dash.

When you say holder you mean the part the holds the lamp on the wiring loom as I think I have one spare.

[aupickup]

if not i have one , an original one

[Heronwood]

HI

That would be great , yes I mean the lamp holder that screws to the dash board about 10-15mm across?

I am more than happy to purchase this from you. could you PM me please.

Mike

[aupickup]

is this what you want[frame][/frame]

[bmcecosse]

That's just a speedo light...no use as an Ign Warning...

[aupickup]

are the holders different

[Heronwood]

HI

It looks ok, what is different from it and a speedo light?

[aupickup]

as far as i am aware the colour of the wire

[bmcecosse]

Where the light is in the speedo - the bulb holder is insulated from the body - and has two wires at the rear. I don't know about earlier 'dashboard' type - but the principle of the Ign Light requires current to flow through the bulb between the dynamo and the battery - or vice versa - there is no 'earth' contact through the holder.

[aupickup]

ah ok ta roy

[Heronwood]

So,

Has anyone got a spare one?

Put a request in the Wanted section - it will get more viewings than on this thread? Contact Chris at Tom Roy - he often has second hand spares?

[DAVIDMCCULLOUGH]

If I were you I opt for the new one, I have around 4 of them and when we went to use one on Stevies car found them all to be faulty and needing repair. Lots of time was spent making a good one on what should have just been a refit job

[bmcecosse]

But there ARE NO new ones - of the type that fits in the speedo....which seems to be what's wanted, although it's all very confused from the Op....

[DAVIDMCCULLOUGH]

Available from ESM, heres the link as before
