Strange but probably true.
My car has spent its life since 1969 in Spain and unfortunately I know little of its history since then. I've owned it for just over a year. Chris

Completing the story of the headrest sponge which has completely turned to powder, I finally took the bull by the horn, removed the seats, opened up about 10 staples at the base, slid up the inside a lenght of 2x1 inch wood until it connected with the base of the metal shaft of the headrest then wit...
Having just fitted a new 11AC alternator without the built in voltage regulator I'm reticent to change it yet, I understand that there are available new alternators that look like the your old Dynamo, probably a bit pricey but maybe a way of reducing your little black box troubles. I try and avoid o...
Yes I guess this is a later addition, there are 5 connectors one doubled, also some wires from the 4TR are routed to this erroneous black box, I'm wondering if this 16RA is doing the job of the 3AW as I cannot see the 3AW anywhere which apparently was fitted on later cars anyway. The small ign. red ...
4TR
Once again this regulator has reared its ugly head, it think this is the third one I've fitted. I am sure the annoying flickering of the lights, head, side and even reversing lights plus the Ammeter jerking about are down to this 4TR not working as it should. I know if can go down the route of fitti...
Head rest

Phil, I had a look at the various wiring diagrams suggested by Steve, and couldn't see a solution. It's possible that my car when it was converted to LHD in 1969 had this extra ignition light installed then as per later 4.2 cars and the 3AW installed too? I'll go and explore and see if the 3AW is th...

Phil That's most helpful, and makes a lot of sence. It's possibly my confusion is that I have a larger brighter ignition warning red light which is independent of the ignition (oil pressure) light within the speedo, this light which may not be standard is the same size as the green choke light, I'm ...
