Hi all, recently got my soarer running, after a dash swap, gearbox and new motor. Now I am having issues with it telling me the battery is not charging, yet I threw a DC tong meter over the cable and my battery definitely is charging.

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this issue, i know its minor, but the writing on the dash is very persistent, and sometimes has an annoying "bing" tone accompaniment.

Mildly panic and check if the P/S pump is leaking into the alternator.

Yeah, I wacked on a Celsior pump, when I re-routed the p/s

No, but the alternator does look FILTHY, covered in old grime. Maybe ill pull it and clean it up??

Think that might work??

Dizzie 1 (so passenger side dizzy)
The lead in the middle (might have B or C on it)
It runs about 20 CM to the coil not to a spark plug.

You'll need to pull out the pass side cover (off rocker and Diz)

Hi Rob,

I think some people have mentioned to you about bringing up old threads, 5 years not bad !! jeez you must do some trawling !!!

I suppose there is some interest to some degree for others ?? but as no one else has asked in 5 years it shows there is not a lot of concern, maybe send them a PM if you want to know ?? and I'm sure in most cases they might not even remember !!

Hi guys,

You see, the whole point to a forum is to keep things relevant.

As I was interested in THIS particular thread, I wished to know what the end result was - and if anyone from the original thread saw this post, they could inform me.

You see, I had the same issues - Everything is relevant. I have spent quite some time on this forum researching things - as well as others.
I decided to be social however.

"What keeps a forum alive? - posting."

It seems you can't win half of the time on a forum.
You get told off if you 'necro' threads - and you get told off if you post a new thread.

If people simply read the already available material on the forums, the forums would die very quickly from lack of activity - If it even had posts to begin with...
Also, many bad diags would be had.

This is why you require specific information - and why you, or in this case - i - asked what the end result was.

Obviously, when someone posts something - they require answers or similar.
So, in the spirit of keeping social, in the know - and so on - I will continue posting where I feel a post is required.

You see, if you can't post on old threads - they should be either removed, or simply locked.
That would stop people from informing other people that they should stop posting on old threads - for no other reason than the fact that they've seen someone else on another forum tell another dude to not post on old threads :-)

Soooo....

Original thread posters, if still here, and not senile - What was the end result with the charging issue? :-)
