Hi looking for a set of 4x if possible. 13" deep dish wheel embelishers For ford rostyle wheels.

Easy to check,plumb bob from the arch to the floor ,mark the floor roll. The car out of the way and measure. Mine measures 1675mm wide at the front,and 1695mm wide at the rear. Some front wings may vary a small amount, but the rear of the body less likely,unless there has been accident damage,or poor quality repair to the rear arches. sales brochure gives one width of 67.1” (1704.34) which would include the bumpers . -
Does the car still run with the inline filter not full ? Most inline filters have the outlet positioned internally near the inlet,so most of the time they are not full of petrol,it seems strange but it's how they work. In fact if they start to fill up and stay that way it may indicate that the filter is partially blocked.

it does help, thank you very much.

The relay that you have bought is probably a bog standard one. I buy my car electric bits from Vehicle Wiring Products, which I can thoroughly recommend, having used them for many years. Their standard 40amp relays are under £3 plus vat and p+p. Hope this helps.

in stock at Motomobil
-
no rush, yes, i never go out at night anyway. I can always wait until i need something else from Motomobil , they combine the postage so it pays to have a few bits and bobs to order.
-
That's good you got it working, gives you time to find a relay at an autojumble !

ta da!!! new relay fitted....not pretty with the patch leads, but i'll see if i can do it tidier on a warmer day. I know motomobil do the correct configuration of pins rlays, but their minimum postage is the same for a small or large item, so will be big money. anyone got a source? free picture hosting

i tried with the ignition on and now have power at 30 and 85 when the full beam is on, which I'd expect. . Nothing at 87 so presumably the relay has failed. i got a new relay, the pin positions are different as in photo. i shall have to be creative with the wiring. I suppose i can just run patch leads from the plug terminals to the relay terminals.
-
Your description of which pin does what is as i have it in my list, in the photo. It's as I expected it to be. there's something very odd here. there's no power at 30 with lights off, only at 85 . (edit, i just thought, do I need the ignition on for there to be power at 30? I wonder) I've already tested the wiring and the bulbs , they all seem good. It had aftermarket lights fitted when i got it and i swapped back to Carellos. I wonder if someone has sswapped around the pins in the plug to make the aftermarket ones work, a lot can happen in 40 odd years,
-
Pins 85 and 86 are what switches the relay. Pin 30 should be battery positive, and 87 the supply to spot lights. Can you use your test light or multi-meter to trace where the supply stops ? .......or take the terminal off pin 87 and give it a live feed from the battery (or use the supply from pin 30), if the spotlights then work you know the wiring from relay to lights is good and the fault lies with the switching side of things. If it doesn't work then as above you'll need to trace where you have power and where you lose it.

ive tried installing separate earths with no sucess.
-
Having trouble getting my spots to work. It's a GLS so all the wiring is there already. when the lights are off there is power to no 85 so i assume that's the battery feed (and not as I have listed it on the photo). when the full beams are on they work, but not the spots and all four pins on the relay are live, this last bit doesnt seem right to me. There is power in both pins of the connector by the radiator, which cant be right....could it be a faulty relay? There are conflicting diagrams on the net, does anyone have a definitive diagram? any thoughts welcome, but bear in mind ive tried all the obvious things ( wiring intact, bulbs work etc). The lights used to work btw...

i see thanks a lot for the information, i ll be testing it today -
Also painted the 2.0 badge I got off Craig with rattle can Satin black. Painted the other one which I was going to fit yesterday by hand and it looks a bit naff, so will rattle can that one next week as it's with the car. More next week, work, weather, Earthquakes permitting!!!

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. Did a bit of WFH today. Bracket for the mirror switch bent up and the hole cut out. Glued a bit of thin cardboard to it then covered it with some vinyl. This will be painted black to match the underside of the dash as I'm fitting it under the ashtray because I can't really find anywhere else it could go.

Looks good

Blower motor stopped working on cortina mk4 on a snowy day
sheffieldcortinacentre replied to Dinoplex's topic in Electrical
If it's turned off it will be fine. They seem to either work or not I'd suspect it may be stuck. Simple test is to unplug & run a couple of wires from battery straight to it. -
It snowed yesterday and it also got a bit icy and i didnt think of also removing the snow from the strakes below the windshield where blower motor gets its air from. Today i was driving and put on the blower motor it ran for 2-3 mins but then suddently i smelled something burning and immediately shut off the blower motor. Now it doesnt do anything when i move the lever. Its still below 0 degrees so is it possible that some ice found its way to the blower motor area and stopped it from working by jamming it or something? The blower motor itself was also new it was installed 2-3 months ago. Im guessing its a very low chance but maybe its not working because there is still some ice there and once it melts it should work? Or im guessing the other more likely case is that my blower motor got somehow destroyed since it also had a burning smell. Another thing i wanna ask is can this create a fire hazard? i know in bmw e34s if the resistor of the blower motor starts to smell and go bad then it could light up leaves and other crap that is gathered in there and set the whole car on fire. Can this also happen with cortina mk4s? If so would i still be fine by just not touching the fan at all and just keeping it off always and never put it in any other position?
