Re: Project 216

Seems that way! The wife and I are going to be at POL this weekend so I doubt I'll get to look at it much until after that but hopefully will be able to crack on (weather permitting) soon. It will be interesting to see what surprises lie behind the sills when I cut them off, I'm guessing it probably...

Re: 216 main relay

How much you want mate?

I’d solder mine but in the previous owners attempts to diagnose the non start it’s been pulled out and is now missing it’s cover so I’ve just taped it up so it doesn’t short on anything.

Re: Project 216

Thanks guys, she’s been for an MOT today (minor issue with a non start as I went to leave - poxy relay this time!) and she only failed on the stuff I already knew about which was awesome. Really happy with there being no nasty surprises and it was good fun to drive, really surprised at how nippy it ...

216 main relay

Does anyone know if this is the same/suitable? I can’t find one listed for the Rover and mine started acting up today and not clicking on. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134054524758?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=R-ugKAUJSda&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Xa3FQbI5T1K&var=&a...

Re: Project 216

Well after lots of multimeter prodding the igniter module was looking more and more like it was the problem so I swapped it out this morning and… SHE LIVES!!! I stuck some fresh petrol in and she barked off first turn of the key, and is running really well too. On to the next task now although I’m n...

Re: eBay - is it just me...

The above options will omit some sellers that list hundreds of the same part in a go making it difficult to find what you're looking for. I'm only interested in R8 parts and I'm not looking for clutch parts, brake parts, headlamp bulbs, manuals, - hence the extra minuses at the end. This drives me ...

eBay - is it just me...

or is looking for 200 parts seriously infuriating? It seems like every search I do brings up hundreds of parts for Land Rovers or Range Rovers unless I am really, really specific. I'm not after anything in particular (yet) but just trying to browse seems to be a nightmare - and I do like a browse! I...

Re: Project 216

It’s mainly for a wiring diagram as I know nothing about Rovers, Ford or e36 BMW on the other hand… 🤣 Got 12v to the igniter, it looks more than a bit suspect though, all the terminals are corroded and it looks pretty old and generally crusty.

Re: Project 216

Right, had a quick poke at this today and it indeed has no spark but the cambelt is intact. The previous owner has replaced the cap, rotor arm, and coil but a quick check with the multimeter and I’m not getting 12v to the coil when cranking.
