    Home/Aus import model YA Paul, so white/purple from A terminal to A on Control Box, and yellow/black from B terminal to starter switch and clock.
    As said, new (Y Type specific) loom throughout. If no-one has a view on repolarising the guts of the ammeter, I guess I'll put up with reversing the wiring on A and B terminals. I prefer that to having an ammeter that looks nice but doesn't work! Joh...

    Thanks for confirming that John.

    How do you know that it wasn't incorrectly wired before?

    The BROWN wire on Terminal A on the back of the Ammeter should be traceable back to Terminal A on the Lucas RF 95 Control Box.

    The two YELLOW WITH BLACK TRACER wires on Terminal B on the back of the Ammeter should be traceable back to the starter switch on one wire and the clock on the sp...

    Tim--have you seen the tilting ones, they're mechanical and rise like an A frame then the platform/car can be tilted nose down or rear down or leave it level to suit what you're doing. Haven't seen an electric/hydraulic version but they'd be out there somewhere.

    Sorry, should have stated up front: positive earth, everything per wsm, and new (2022) loom from NTG. The way this and the TD's ammeter is in series hot from the battery, I tend to fret about the fire risk if anything shorts ( including inside the gauge). Am I worrying unnecessarily?? John.

  • Paul Barrow22 April 2026

    John

    Is your car POSITIVE GROUND/EARTH still as per original or NEGATIVE GROUND/EARTH?

    Thanks for the feedback, hopefully no reason then not to get one ordered

    China's CATL unveils an EV battery with SIX-minute charging - the same time it takes to fill a petrol car with fuel

    The latest generation of 'Shenxing' lithium–iron–phosphate batteries charges from 10 per cent to 98 per cent in just six minutes and 27 seconds.

    The company says that its impressive charging speeds have been made possible by reducing the electrical resistance in...

    Hi Tim,
    Yes definitely worth checking both of those first.
    Replaced them first twice but made now difference, so ended up changing the pulley.
    Believe you can get a speedie sleeve but really not worth if for the price.

  • Jeremy MkIII21 April 2026

    Guy,
    how are you doing with charging by granny cable?
    I'm 6 months in and have found it's all that I need - so far.

  • Tim C21 April 2026

    Could be the pulley oil seal, or the timing cover gasket, worth checking...
