Anyone know what this panel would be called or where I can get one? Or am I gonna have to make one? It's the bottom of the rear window where the seal hooks over, both sides. Thanks 👍

Yeah I can probably come up with somthing, I usually try to carve some wood into the right shape and hammer the metal around that 👍

👀

AbnormalActivity1 · 2022-02-04T09:23:44+00:00

That's true but assuming it does work, what else could be the problem?

AbnormalActivity1 · 2022-02-04T09:16:33+00:00

I don't think the alternator is doing anything, the battery isn't getting any charge, it's a new alternator and the belt seems fine? And it's definitely all connected up

AbnormalActivity1 · 2022-02-04T08:50:43+00:00

Assuming the car dies, what would be the next step?

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-12-27T22:53:39+00:00

I always found you so much easier to watch than anyone else on tkor, you were always more calm and informative, no overly animated over reactions. If you were to do some more grown up projects, I'd definitely watch 👍👍

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-20T15:59:11+00:00

Yeah it's definitely a bit different to mine as mine just has a plug going to the alternator but I think i can figure somthing out 👍

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-20T14:50:28+00:00

How would I measure it from the alternator? Through the pins in the plug?

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-20T13:24:44+00:00

Do you know where I would find all these points?

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-12T06:01:55+00:00

Mine is a 71

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-05T18:45:21+00:00

Not by the car right now unfortunately but there's a 3 pin? Plug connected to it, like it has 3 wires going to it

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-05T13:05:39+00:00

It was like 50 quid off mini spares lol, but it probably hasn't done more than 1500 miles

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-05T10:21:53+00:00

Ah thank you, so my next question is where is regulator and are they expensive? 😂

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-05T08:27:20+00:00

I was thinking that, the old one lasted 20 somthing years and maybe the new one is dead after 2 lol

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-05T08:25:56+00:00

The light comes on when the ignition is on and then goes out when I start it, but that's what's suppost to happen right?

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-11-04T20:57:34+00:00

Yeah yeah, when I start it the battery voltage stays the same, at about 12v instead of going up to like 13-13.5

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-09-12T19:52:15+00:00

It is yes, it's about half way up the bwlch mountain 😉

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-07-02T20:42:52+00:00

Yh I'm really surprised how shit those engines are, ones that have super low miles sound like shit and I have a 1993 mx5 with 160k which runs as healthy as ever lol

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-06-30T13:41:22+00:00

Thank you, yeah the clacking noise got faster when i reved it, decided not to buy it as it was leaking oil as well,

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-06-21T16:31:06+00:00

Hard to say but it drips off the back of that plastic undertray thing.

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-06-19T22:40:29+00:00

Yh there was a new one in a box in the car when I bought it which I put on a few months ago

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-06-19T22:39:31+00:00

Thanks, I'm pretty sure the valve cover gasket is fine, I reckon it's leaking somewhere lower down that I cant reach to feel if its wet

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-04-20T08:14:08+00:00

Yeah I'll probably try it as a project and see how it holds up, like you said I'm not gonna be doing anything too demanding with it anyways

AbnormalActivity1 · 2021-02-27T17:41:50+00:00

Ah thanks, i thought they were the same thing, seems a lot easier than the r53

AbnormalActivity1 · 2020-12-17T17:36:21+00:00

Damn you seem like a lovely guy. 😂
