thats her just getting started for the first time since being stripped down.
anyone know why i have not got any dash lights? when i turn my ignition on, my heaters and lights and cd player all turn on but my dash lights do not come on. Even when i start it the dash lights still do not come on???
dont know mate, check the plug is plugged in the back of the dash,
also your batterys abit flat lol
fuse?
Could be the earth to the clocks.
Top thread this, great stuff.
could be the ignition live to the clocks? :S
i have just been out and had it running again and the battery is really flat and wont even hold a charge. I need to put jump leads onto it.
Could the batery be the problem?
I thought it was a dodgy earth so i put a eart going from the negative battery teriminal onto the bulkhead and a thick earth wire from the end of the gearbox onto the chassis leg.
When i was out about an hour ago i noticed when i pulled the choke out (its a automatic choke on the engine, so would not to anything) i could see the choke warning light on but very dim?? that then made me think it was maybe just such a flat battery but surely when she is idling everything should work. The heaters etc work when i turn them on and it does not want to drop the engine revs atall???

Aye, proper flat battery would cause dash not to light up.
But with the engine running the dash should be fully lit(its running off the alternator when the engines running)
Check the ignition lives to the dash, and the brown earths.
also it still isnt running on all 4 cylinders. She has got a hell of alot better but still misssifiring. I have not got a airbox on, low fuel and the vacum pipe from the manifold to the brake servo is not connected yet. would this cause the problem?
I also wondered if it was with me swapping the plugs and leads. I have got 1.2 carb'd plugs and leads on it and a 1.2 coil.
Whats the firing order? does anyone have any diagrams or pics that will show me excactly where what lead goes where. Thanks ina advance.
