grumpy2 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Now I’m starting to use my TR7 more and expected niggles are coming to light. Latest of which is a dimly glowing ignition light. Off when ignition off, on brightly whilst starting the glows dimly when running. New/recon/repaired alternator time I think. Haven’t tested voltage yet but expect under 13v… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spit_2.5PI Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) Dimly glowing Ign light suggests to me a dead diode in the diode pack. Two diodes and it's lit more strongly - all three and it's normal brightness. Having been stung before, I have little confidence in buying "new" or re-con unless I've met the person who did the work** which in my case is Burghfield Starter & Alternator Centre*. See if you can find a similar specialist near you. Cheers, Richard * No financial interest, just a satisfied customer. ** One of my friends worked at his uncle's butchers shop as a a lad. He said he would never eat a sausage unless he'd met the person who'd made it. Edited January 8 by Spit_2.5PI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grumpy2 Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 Tested this after noon, 12.8v as expected. If off now and with a local chap who will recondition it for a small fee (used him for years) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
