I didnt order/pay for the reducer/clamps until about 13.40 yesterday from ebay and it arrived at 10.30 this morning ...now thats good service!![8D] ...still got to sort the hangers out properly so haven't started it yet, and a down side to Cazz shopping is that I had to walk to school and back lol
not as noisy as I thought but deeper GRRRowlll getting the dash far enough forward to get the switch in from behind was a bit tricky, not sure where to mount the relay yet, might mount it under the drivers seat next to the coil...
Ok, so I got the wiring done today but its not working HELP!
Ok, from a switched live at fuse box, through a 20amp fuse to gearbox switch then to C2 on relay....I wired onto the switch as below...is this the correct way to connect to the switch please??
apart form that, I went for a quicker than before spin round the block and at least all gears are selecting ok
The wiring should be fine Colin, one problem I had when I fitted an Overdrive was that the Solenoid would`nt work as it had lain unused for a number of years, I stripped and cleaned it packed it with light grease reassembled it and it worked a treat! Have you tried a voltmeter or test lamp across the switch? This would eliminate a wiring problem, there are a number of other things you can do to check if its a wiring or relay problem, you can bypass the relay and wire straight to a two way switch to see if that works...or you can set light to the van and be rid of any further problems
Thanks Alan....I haven't had a chance to put a meter/tester on it yet as it started getting dark so had to call it a day but thanks for the tips, I will try all over again tommorrow

There shouldn't be a problem with the relay as it's new, but I guess that doesn't mean there's not!!
The new relays can pose a problem, Rupert fitted one on Jessica but couldn't get it to work with the conventional wiring set up, there is more than one configuration with a 6RA:I
