I have now taken the generator out of the engine. You can see from the picture below that it is knackered! There is a burnt out set of windings, and hence no charging voltage of any worth. I dont remember it being like this when I rebuilt the engine, but it must have been damaged, and it has got worse and worse. I can only assume that the whole charging circuit was damaged as the reg/rec was also faulty when I first started up the engine.
When sorting the passenger door hing I had to move the ECU. I then had a bit of a think, and noticed that any water getting in would drip all over it! This is obviously not the most intelligent thing, so knocked up a small cover.
As promised earlier, I have installed the anderson plug so that it can be used without opening the door. Below is the on board plug/
I received the final bits of the loom on Saturday, the rear lighting loom and front wheel speed extension pieces. I quickly set about getting these on the car and testing them.
I know this has been going on for a while, but the wiring is now done, well it is at a stage where the car will run and I could go testing, the rest I have been promised is in the post! In the picture below you can see the anderson plug. I think I might drill a hole in the body so the door doesnt have to be opened, but that is not exactly pressing at the moment.
