Ok - maybe i should fill in some background , i bought this laptop as a present for my son on ebay, it came from a dealer who had cleaned the hard drive unfortunately he had even removed the operating system so it couldn't load windows . A friend managed to get windows 98 on it and supplied a...

I dived into the hydraulic tank ( not literally) and found there are 3 pick up pipes obviously feeding oil to 3 pumps anyway they have strainers fitted and these strainers had disintegrated and parts of them had partially blocked one of the pipes - i presume it was the one supplying the power...

Hi here's a challenge - does anyone have any experience with these machines , mine's a 525-58 . The power steering keeps going very stiff and i think there might be a priority valve somewhere which may not be functioning properly but i can't find it! ( if it exists). The hydraulic pump seems...

Hi and thanks for your help - i solved the problem by adding another electric pump in the engine compartment and it's worked perfectly ever since! Now the clutch has packed up so it's back to the drawing board!

Does anyone know if this car ( 1985 RX7 Mk 2 ) has a fuel pump and if so where is it !

Hi I have just solved a similar problem fitting a renault alternator to a mini digger . The other wire needs to have an ignition live feed to switch the alternator on. It's taken me a week to work it out !

Just in case anyone's still interested i have finally managed to wire the alternator so it charges - what we thought was the warning lamp terminal is in fact just an earth, the warning light is one of the two in the plug. Anyway i just wanted to say thank you all for your help Best regards Antony

thats exactly how i wired it - the light just stays on , i have tried positive to both of the other terminals too and for that matter , earthing them too but still no charge ! I'm not sure if it's relevant but if i connect the warning lamp to either of the other terminals it comes on but at...

I took it off and examined it very closely - The 2 threaded poles are marked L and B , there are no markings on the small plug although one of the terminals is smaller than a standard spade connector. It's not quite the same as the one in the picture from autoshop

I have connected the 2 extra terminals as per the link that stevino kindly provided but still no charge , i'm fairly sure the alternator is a good one - any other ideas ?

yes i think so - it's on the same side of the engine as the one it came from - does the wattage of the warning lamp have any effect ?
