Maybe finally getting my Viva back next week!

[VampireTigger]

Now with added passenger door mirror to make it easier to park in the garage

(Also changed the HT leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, oil and filter, coolant and added electric fan)

Looks great. The colour / wheel combo is just right

I added an electric fan as the car has been getting rather hot, a proper rad has arrived from Fred and is going in shortly but I'll keep the electric in case.

Now, in my Land-Rover 90s I have electric fans. Air ram alone is enough most of the time but when off-roading the fan is needed. In both trucks the fan is controlled by a relay. This relay is triggered by a thermostat in the water system. I also have an over-ride switch to trigger the relay manually if I think it's required. When the relay trips, I have rigged one of the spare lights in the Land-Rover dash panel to light up so I know the relay is tripped and thus the fan should be on.

So, what do we have here? The same. The middle switch supplied by Fred in the over-ride switch. The Demist light is my indicator that the relay is active, my car does not have a re-screen demister. The Haynes manual did not detail the pin out for the dash multi-plug and in my case it's only wired for the indicators, main beam, oil, ignition, fuel, temp and back lighting. Nothing else. So the bulb is powered via a direct connection and earths though the dash. I tried the un-used handbrake one but that back fed into the ignition and oil lights.

Think I've mentioned the LED headlight bulbs, here you can see how well they work. So much brighter and no worries about melting the loom!
