I had this exact problem - turned out to be the earth cable on the battery wasn't tightly clamped on. Seemed it was ok running low load, but when I tried to fire the starter I just got that click and nothing. Although maybe the fact yours worked when jump-starting rules this out.

I have a Danbury pop-top (about 3/4 length), and a belly pan. Although I hadnt realised the 2 were in any way related...

Yep, when I had this it was the carb jet was loose (practically falling out). Couple of turns with a screwdriver, problem solved.

Brilliant idea! Can't believe this hasnt been done before

I went shopping for a folding bike last year, started from the same position - cheap and cheerful will do. But after checking out several I ended up buying a Brompton. Bloody expensive, but the only one that seemed solid enough on the road to not leave me feeling seriously at risk! The way I...

I googled the intro phrase "Reluctantly and with a heavy heart, we have to sell Mavis", and I get results for ads in Wiltshire, Coventry, and Newcastle...!

Hi Paul, buddybox received Friday, looks great, I'll post some pics once I've fitted it this week hopefully.

JK ones are the same, complete set including the rubber toggle and the C-shape fixing.

I had the same driving on Sunday. To make it worse, the winds were strong enough to catch the pop-top and rip the fixings inside straight off the roof, so the bellows inflated and the roof lifted. Scary stuff while on the motorway trying to stay in lane!

Ok, I have a good 12.5V feed at the solenoid post, and at the fuse-box in the cab. However when I turn the ignition on (but dont push the starter, so effectively dont turn the ignition all the way on), I lose all voltage at the solenoid. I'm guessing this isnt right, and I have a short somewhere...

Thanks guys, I'll have a look over all the wiring this evening.

Afternoon folks, I have a puzzle for you. I was all set to head out for the long weekend in the camper, got everything loaded, went to start the van and... nothing! My van has a push-button ignition, so you turn the key (the red & green lights come on), then push the ignition and the lights go...

Yep, that's the mod I did, and somehow I went from fully working switch to the symptoms I describe. I'm sure plenty of people have done it without issue, but there is a risk you could do some damage to the wiper switch in the process. Presumably it was while drilling through, I've managed to do...

One word of caution if you decide to do this mod - I did it and ended up with a half-working wiper switch. The slow mode doesn't work, and the high speed mode doesn't return the wipers to the down position - I have to time when I switch it off to make sure they return to the bottom of the...

oorwullie, where are you based? And do these door sets have good condition seals included?

Hi all, I'm trying to repair these heater vents, and they have black corrugated card tubes as part of the assembly which need replacing - anyone any idea where I can get replacement tube? I have plenty of spare tube from the engine bay heater tubes, but its a larger diameter and I cant find the...

Good condition - sits at the end of the rear bench seat with drainage tube to go down into the wheel arch. Includes wooden unit with plastic sink and hand-pump tap. For collection from Colchester, Essex No idea what this is worth, so make me an offer.

2x original danbury buddy seats, taken from my '68 bay. One has the built in shelf that hinges up. In 'well used' condition - some restoration probably needed. For collection from Colchester, Essex. Make an offer...
