  2. Herald 13/60 oil leak query

    in Engine

    Posted

    Hi I know the big hex oil relief valve is but this is definitely the plug under the oil filter with an Allen key hole. That is where the leak is.  Also why is there a Allen key hole not just a normal blanking plug type as there is on other plugs on the engine

    Hello knowledgeable people. I have a late 13/60 Herald. Just noticed a pool of oil under my car I have traced it to what looks like a plug just under the oil filter.  Not sure if it is a plug but that is the best way I can describe it.  Can it be tightened and or is there a seal that need replacing.  

    Thank you in advance

  10. Two Dynamo questions

    in Electrical System

    Posted

    Hi do all Dynamos on a Herald 13/60 have a cooling fan on as I have just noticed mine does not have one at all.  Second question how do I check my brushes in my Dynamo need changing. Just been for a drive and my red light is on where do I start to look for charging issues.

     

    thank you in advance

  13. Alternator conversion. Pre engaged starter motor conversion. Questions

    in Electrical System

    Posted

    Hello to you all. Sorry for the questions but I need some advice.

    question one

    how easy is is to convert from a Dynamo to an alternator not the actual mounting of it but the wiring bit, and has anyone fitted the dynalite unit that looks like a dynamo but is actually a alternator. 
    question two

    i am fitting a pre engaged starter motor with a solenoid mounted on the motor which is standard for this kind of unit. Do I still need the solenoid that is mounted on the car body as used for the old style starter motor.

    thank you

    Hi Guys just thought I would inform you all what I did. Multimeter showing the car was charging  in the battery.  So as instructed took of the battery terminals and found lots of crud.  Cleaned all of re greased with petroleum jelly now all is good.  Thank you for the tips on her.

    Hello.

    have been driving my Herald about 50 per week since the weather got drier so say march.  Just tried to start it today and battery was flat.  A couple of question please 

    how do I check the battery is charging from my dynamo ( ignition light goes out when I got it going from a jump start)

     how do I ascertain my battery does or does not need replacing as it is five years old

    After my jump start took it for a five mile run and it would still not start would a run of this length charge the battery up to full

    any other suggestions what it might be.

     

    thank you in advance.
