I converted one of the reversing lights, I used a 4 way relay, power direct from battery , ignition power from cigarette lighter also switch illumination.

Haha, you would hate my car then, but each to their own.

Don't worry! There'll be pics galore when she's done
I've told Ryan that I insist on lots of pics of progress so that I can still be in touch whilst away swigging copious quantities of Greek Nectar in the sun
Had many a interesting evening in Greece drinking the local Ouzo [emoji21][emoji485]-

Thanks GT-4grey and Chris. Yes I'm nervous but expectant. The guys that are doing the work for me actually have E-type Jag #2 in being reborn from the ground up and she's looking amazing [emoji33]
My original three spoke wheels are also getting the treatment and the original side repeaters and indicators are going back on. She's gonna look original and mint when she's done
Can’t wait to see the finished article, post pics if you can. -
L 975 EPB (my baby) has gone in today for "the works". She's having a full respray in the same, original colour, with any rust removal and dent correction. She's being rust protected underneath. She'll also be getting a full service with all fluids and filters being changed. I'm also having a full inspection of the suspension bits and pieces.
I can't be too precious about not having her around for three or four weeks because we are off to Skiathos for a fortnight on Friday. They have promised to take lots of pics so that I can follow progress whilst drinking lots of Mythos in the sun
Can't wait to see her in "as new" condition again.
Sounds fantastic, is it going to be a windows out job ?

You misunderstood me, what I want to do is buy the parts and assemble a custom ignition lead set, I wouldn’t no where to start with winding coils.
-
Is it possible to make up ignition leads including coils, who sells the parts ?
-
Yep, reckon so, the original last couple of inches of the wire were quite brittle so I replaced the last 6 inches, ba's been running ok ever since[emoji16]

Sorted, thanks all.

Its the wire that is attached by a small nut to the alt, is that the wire your talking about ?

Started the car this morning and the charging light stayed on for about 2 seconds then went off and stayed off, ran the engine for about 10 minutes and the alternator wire stayed fairly cool as opposed to yesterday when the charging light stayed on, the alternator wire got so hot i couldnt hold on to it, anyone know what this means ?

My alternator on my gen 5 gt4 has twice stopped charging, the problem occurs when the car has been left overnight, on the second occasion I took it to my garage to see if they could see an issue,
The garage couldn't find a problem with the alternator, although they never dismantled it, they kept it and drove it for a week and the problem did not re occur, picked up the car from the garage and drove it home without the problem happening, the car stood for three days unused, I then got in the car and started it this morning, and the alternator light wouldn't go off ! I tried running the car for a short while but it made no difference, so I'm swopping to the spare alt and see what happens, I was wondering whether the cause was moisture getting in somewhere, anyone had something similar happen to them?

Hi, is there another post with the outcome of the under seal job you had done ?

I recently spoke to an air con engineer about getting my Gen 5 re-gassed, he confirmed what every one is saying with the proviso that the latest auto air con gas is absolutely fine in the pre 94 cars.earlier gasses were harmful but not with the latest stuff :-)

Thought about that option but decided I’d rather lose a reversing light than rear light.
