Power steering box seal.

Just got my power steer box out of my 1970 Satellite. Its leaking from shaft where steering column connects to. I've got a rebuild kit for it and took it to a company down the road that repairs steering racks. He said he might know somewhere to send it to get down. Anyway, he said they can't do it b...

Well looks like problem sorted, took alternator off and both my regulators and took them to Albaston starter's and rewinds on Monday. Picked them up today, alternator repaired (damaged brushes) and picked up new regulator, all for £45. One grey regulator wasn't reliable ( only 6 months old) and the ...

Thanks Shayne and Steve, I'm getting same voltage from back of alternator as battery. Both started off at 12.8v and now dropped to 11.5v after a 4 hour round trip. So is it field windings not telling alternator to work or alternator not working? I've read about shorting out field wiring which bring ...

Pre '70 had a single field terminal (the other to Earth) and later ones have a twin feed from the Regulator.
Mines a 70 with 2 field wires on back of altetnator!

The 12.8v (and less) you are seeing is the Battery voltage. Should be charging at 14.6v so it points to either the Alternator itself, or wiring (or both!!) - or the real killer is that a fault has killed both regulators you have tried. If you know what you are doing you can hot wire the battery to ...

Put car away early October and not used it until xmas week for a 10 mile round trip which i noticed Amp gauge being on the negative side, put that down to taking a while to ...

Which Fuel filter??

My Fuel tank is out and being redone at the moment due to the rust inside.

I want to replace the cheap chrome glass one on my 318, the rubber is all perished on it!
