Lowered Headlamp Brackets - NEW BATCH now ready for dispatch
KarlH replied to 7 wonders of the world's topic in For Sale
I'm going to change to 5 3/4 headlights soon so may as well go low as well! So, if there are enough in your latest batch I'll take a set. -
passed a green with white stripe and black with orange stripe on the A22 near Lingfield around 1645 today - 1st May

Thanks Jonathan, I can't find the wiring diagram I had. It's a 2001 K series. Karl

I needed to replace my indicator switch so thought I'd go with APEM switches all round. I'm getting confused with wiring the light switches in and have maybe got the wrong switches I bought the following from Polevolt: on-mom for main flash - this has 3 terminals The original on the car has two wires brown and 2 blue/white connected to 1 spade (one of the blue/white wires goes to the the dip.main switch off-on for dip / main switch which has 2 terminals The original has 3 terminals with blue/white, blue and blue/red cables I suspect for the dip/main switch I maybe need a on-on switch but can't tell what wires out of the ones available should be connected - I can't figure it out! Has anyone else replaced these switches and know what I need and should be wiring in? Karl.

I asked the local car spares bloke, he said the next one up was the 778 but I'll check myself later...

What alternator belt have people with the following combination got fitted: K series Apollo tank Brise alternatorThe 5PK738 is way too small, can't get enough rotation on the alternator as it fouls the pipes coming off of the sandwich plate so has limited movement. Not sure the 5PK778 which was previously fitted is small enough, it's tight but I'm sure it could be tighter! If anyone has an apollo and brise, let me know what belt you've got and if it's the 5PK738 what magic you worked to get it on
-
Right, all fitted and working. Measurements I took were: Rest 12.9v Cranking 10.8v Idling 14.5v

Vibration fracture was what I thought I'd typed so either the useless auto correct changed it or I'm just stupid - no replies to that needed!
-
Gave up trying to diagnose the fault and sent the alternator back to Brise - the repair sheet says there was a vibration factor on the stator wire which has been replaced. I'll be refitting it thise weekend and hopefully all will be well!

Been out all day helping the inlaws move so not had chance to check anything else today. I have checked the belt which looks to be adjusted ok but will get another and change it anyway just to be on the safe side and eliminate that as an issue. I contacted Brise yesterday who were incredibly helpful and said from the voltage readings I'm getting it suggests the alternator is working but sometimes the warning light function of the voltage regulator can fail and not affecting its other functions. They asked what wattage the warning light bulb was in the gauge - I couldn't find anything other than a thread on here suggesting they were 2W is that right?
-
One of those mysteries! i thought the switched live was there so the battery doesn't get drained, fan wiring used as its close and easy. There are 3 wires on it, one to the light circuit, one to switched live and the other direct to the battery to sense voltage there - I think! Can't remember what colours are what now I've left the garage.
-
Haven't tested all those ranges but what I have is: Rest 12.8v Cranking 10v Idling 13.4v 2,000rpm 14.4v
-
Yep, I'd found that one Jonathan but not sure whether there's anything I can usefully determine from it (other than they don't charge until 2k rom)! When I bought the unit I spoke to Brise and they supplied the correct pulley for a K series installation. It's been working fine, in that the light went out once engine was started, for the last 2 years (relatively little use) and nothing has changed in that time so I don't understand what would cause it to start doing this now!

The ignition warning light on my car has taken to staying on below 2000 rpm. As is normal it's been working perfectly fine for ages and only started doing this after a long trip to Reading the other day! It's a relatively new brise alternator and a pretty new battery so I'd hope neither of those were at fault. So far I've: checked the battery voltages and it's operating as expected checked all earths, cleaned and tightened etc and following other advice and threads on here checked the wiring to the bulb which appears to be working fine as wellThe alternator is wired into the fan for switched live, if I disconnect the fan the same thing happens - light goes out above 2000rpm, is that to be expected? Anything else I should be checking?

Spotted a black 7 near langley park golf course this morning around 1030 - I was the look out running and waving at you! Karl.
-
My wife's spotted a red with clamshells parked up in the Great Suffolk St area. Lovely day for a commute!
-
My daughter spotted you pulling up near Toys R Us yesterday (26/10) reg ended in VVC.

Light blue-ish car seen on Village Way around 1530 today.
-
Green with yellow nose band, think it was X reg, seen going through the lights on Pickhurst Lane at the junction with The Avenue and Mead Way - about 1715 today.
-
Red / Gold spotted at the traffic lights near Sandilands tram stop around 1645 today.
-
Return journey was fine, despite temps reaching the same level. Didn't seem to be anything obvious but will have a good check over now it's back home.
-
Orange 7 flying past the Neville Crest & Gun pub on the A26 just now - 1850
-
We're down the road in Forge Wood Ian so no upsetting the locals! It works fine when not too hot so I reckon I can get home tomorrow ok thanks. Karl
-
Electrics seemed fine, everything electrical seemed to work anyway! No volt meter to check as the boot was cleared in favour of sausages and beer! No major work done recently - oil change and that's it. Runs fine when it starts again.
