Hi tech diff mount

[John A. Ross]

Colin, is that an upgrade like our Wulls bucket ? multi purpose, it holds diffs, fills dents, sticks to hands, one product many uses

I am off to do something useful now

[Colimp66]

Yeh John, I'm all about high tech and multi purpose items me

Oor Wullie....


Cheers
Col.

[John A. Ross]

Hehe, there is da man going to put that one to work

[Colimp66]

Oor Wullie doesn't sit in the shop or outside anymore John. He's up at another shop in Dunbar opposite the Central chip shop with the other statues I made of John Muir and Jimmy Bain. All inside which saves me dousing them. In WD40 e ery other day.

Tonight i got some carpetting completed and figured out where I went wrong with my wiring loom extension that was blowing the main fuse.. oops!!

I have some leather balm and refurb treatment stuff coming so I coukd make the leather look a bit less lived in.
Continuing with the wiring loom as well.
Cheers
Col.

Nice, you will blow more fuses before you are done Col, dont lose heart, I buy them in bulk for first tests !

IS it standard blade types ?

[John A. Ross]

Colin, see link below

Plus in in place of blade, measure current, see what fuse rating suits best as original bike values could be wrong (lights etc)

Thanks John,
A load of fuses on their way to me as I knew I'd blow a few ... I was correct. Bladed fuses yes.
The main reason was that I had mixed up the wiring in their respective blocks so blue/orange wire wasn't connecting to its buddy on the other block. A simple mistake which was easily avoided . Once sorted, I got power to the headlights.. .
All a learning curve for me.
That but of kit looks good.

Cheers
Col.

Col, its cheap but unlike other cheap stuff i have bought the one I got current wise is as accurate as my Fluke £400 multimeter !

[Colimp66]

John,
After reading your advice on wiring the wiper motor I ordered two relays yesterday from Car Builder Solutions and they arrived 5 minutes ago so you know what I will be doing this weekend now .

The box of fuses also arrived along with the fuse box and shrink wrap to make it all neat an tidy.

Cheers
Col.

Thay's neat.

Would be usefull for Mercs. that drain the battery due to having a dogy thing somewhere.

[John A. Ross]

I have one in garage Pat, could try it on e%% to confirm where they juice is going. Used it on DDG to measure actual current on ancilliaries then pick correct fuse

[John A. Ross]

Blade size though, not mini blade like Transit

[PMCG]

I know the E55 is the lowering module.

Lots of problems with Mercs though especially W211 where they kill the battery after sitting for a day or two.
Usually the Comand or a seat pump etc.

German rubbish

Better keeping with the Scottish Porsche... ...Nae fuses in them to worry aboot!!!!
