Further Datum: I put the SLAs in the car on charge last night with a standard charger. The max it displayed with the batteries so discharged that they were unable to start the car, was 6A. This morning I went and started the car, ran it for a few minutes, then turned it off, with the idea of putting...

This is the interesting thing though - when you recharge the Quick Starter (containing the SLA) it takes about 30 minutes, on average, starting with a 75% charge, to fully charge it. That has to be more than a trickle. I'm thinking of putting a large diode in the positive line to block the (reverse)...

Hi Lee, Finally got the radiator in, after I figured out a way to enlarge the relevant holes with my little lathe. The radiator was a $75 purchase from Ebay. Being retired and on a a fixed income makes that we have to work with what we've got. I started the engine late this afternoon and let it run ...

Hi Lee, Thanks for the Info! Following on to what you said - you are able to get the quick release to release, right? Another issue has arisen - while replacing the radiator, come to find the Engine Oil/Transfluid Cooler couplings are 3 thou undersize. The plugs are 0.587, and the sockets are 0.584....

Question - how does one disconnect the AC flange type connectors such as on the Receiver/Dryer?

Thanks!

The Radiator arrived today, so putting it in was the focus, and not done yet - one of those darn captive nuts that the long bolt uses tore lose, with the bolt frozen inside. Have to think how I'm going to solve that one. Either try to grind it off, or weld the nut back on to the platform. Bloody old...

Hi Jim, thanks for the response!

I tried the ignition switch jiggling test, but no luck there.

I am thinking there are Relays and Breakers in the two fuse boxes, I may just have to work through them all with a 12V source and a continuity tester.

Many Thanks! Two years ago I had to move the ignition switch away from the steering column, and yes, one has to jiggle it slightly to get the indicators etc to work. Replacing the steering lock mechanism is proving to be a real problem, not being able to find an exact replacement. I recently replace...

Hi All, its been a while!

!998 V70XC - I have checked every last fuse I can find - no luck, they all have continuity.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Stefan.

So, removing the ECU to do the P0410 diode fix (out about 20 min) should reset it?
