hi all im back again purchased another 92 3.1 lwb today needs a bit of work but mechanically and body wise ok, anyway headlights dont work, sides work indicators work and main beam will work if you hold it towards you, bulbs are ok seems to be power getting to bulbs but no earth have tried all conectors have run an earth straight to bulb but all i get is full beam on one side, has anyone any ideas please, cant get full beam to stay on without holding stalk back cant remember how full beam works is it just click stick back towards you or should it push forward like mk1s do, but anyway still cant get dip beam to work, hope someone can shed some light on this for me, i want to get on with the welding,
cheers ian

I know that the stalk itself is prone to going faulty after a good few years, but i'll leave it to the mk2 lot to help Smile

you also said in another post that your speedo dont work , not knowageable with mk2 s very much but it all sounds as if its linked , is there a earth strap missing or loose maybe.does the instrument panal look as if its been removed before as it may be some thing has not been pluged back in.

sounds like a good idea ill have a look tomorrow only picked it up today of eebuygum just going through what needs doing and looking for ideas have plenty of rear end welding to do looks like it got dipped in the sea but well worth doing everything else is excellent cheers for the advice

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
fusees and relays are no1 located in the engine bay drivers side the fuse should b a 15amp and it is in position f4 for the l/h and f5 for the r/h
no then the head lamp l/h is pats loaded with high beamindicator light,fog light realy, and cornering light if fitted
id also check that u have a good earth to ur chassie from the battery and from chassie to engine there should b 3 point of earth and one to gear box
SPEEDO CAN U LAY UR HANDS ON A SPEEDO THAT U KNOW THAT WORKS IF SO BORROW IT AND CHANGE IT FOR URS TEST DRIVE IT if it works its ur speedo if not check ur c10 fuse that is situated in ur fuse box in the lower part of the dash by ur knee cap in the driverside if u still ave the problems the it possibly could b ur speed sencer (not cheap)
hope that this helps m8

thanks for the info quiet one but could explain what you mean by pats loaded etc and are you saying the fog light and high beam indicator is taking its feed from the l/h headlamp cheers ian

Yipeeee all work done now rear half of chassis replaced all back together back on her wheels and off to see mr mot man tomorrow afternoon fingers crossed, only thing is if it passes gotta just look at it for week in the driveway before i can use it as it needs taxing as well so might as well wait till end of month i would post some pics but havent got a clue how to put them on here tried before and it was more of disaster than cutting chassis in half.

still have speedo probs, when speedo wasnt working as i mentioned in one of my previous posts ichanged the speed sensor on side of gearbox that didnt cure problem it seemed to be on speedo head itself which sorted that problem, the problem i have now is that its clocking the miles up to quick i did a journey today that i know to be about 1-1 1/2 miles but is says three now and saturday i did about a 20 mile round trip but said 35 miles could the sensor i put in be a km,s one and giving a different reading Question
