Dear All, Carly has an intermittent electrical problem - from time to time, the rev counter dies. When it does, it takes the windscreen wipers and washers with it. More often than not, when I start t

The fuse holders on the Spitfire are notorious for intermittent connections and it sounds like your problem could be related to this. It may not be the problem but you can do some "no cost" work tha

Mike -- One thing that comes to mind is a poor electrical ground. This might explain why you're able to get things to work while the vehicle is moving - the vibration brings things into contact. I w

That sounds like a nice easy job, and even if it doesn't solve the problem, it has to be worth doing anyway. This will be my first job in the morning. Thanks for the tip. ATB Mike -- Michael Hargreav

And with the state of the roads in Bedford, vibration is an understatement. You'd love mine - there are odd bits of wire hanging loose everywhere. The previous owner fitted a very modern and very exp

Take a look at the back of my dashboard since I've added a real fuse panel in the back of the glovebox- I reran the wiring in its entirety! It is on my websitehttp://www.homestead.com/herald1200/ ab

On my '72 at least, the fuse block is shoddiest piece of electrical equipment I have ever seen in a car. Let me explain: On a normal fuse holder, there is a U-shaped metal clip holding each end of a

Wow! I don't think I'm quite ready for the "design your own wiring harness" approach. :-) I tightened the contacts in the matchbox - I'm sorry, fusebox - this morning, and although it hasn't cured th

With the Herald, the ground wires all come to a common point- which on my car is the clamp nut on the steering column which holds the wire cover in place over the turn signal and headlight control w

Check the connections in the back of the fuse panel. I had a loose one and I lost all those things and signal lights. /// /// spitfires@autox.team.net mailing list /// To unsubscribe send a plain tex

I'm pleased to be able to report that I have just driven Carly for over 80 miles without a single failure of the tacho or wipers/washers. Tightening the fuseholders seems to have done the trick! Actu

Hi Mike It will never hurt to give a courteous wave to a "competitor to Triumph", what hurts is doing it so many times and being ignored, but then that may be because mine aint a sports car. Well it
