I took the Q out for a bit of a shake down run, I want to give it some decent 
trials before stoneleigh, all was well until I called into a local motorbike 
shop, on switching on again I was met by a silent fuel pump, no problem I 
thought, I’ll stick on my fly lead, still no joy. A quick call to the AA and a 
very nice man arrived to take a look, his test lead powered up the pump and the 
car restarted. He had a bit of a look near the fuse board checking the wiring 
and found a loose earth connection, the threads were poor on the fitting, he 
swapped it to another screw, we started the car and drove home with him 
following. More shake down runs required. The reason my fly lead didn’t work 
was due to a 1amp fuse being in the cigar lighter plug, fuel pump fuse is 
20amp, I’ve upped the fuse rating.Every trip is an adventure .

I wouldn’t use the yellow one in that application.

The fuel pump relay has one coil connection connected to the ignition switched 
12 volts, the other side of coil is earthed by the ECU.
Without the diode there could be a current flow back through the relay coil and 
into the ecu when the ignition is on but the engine isn’t running.
This could cause damage to the ECU.
Also, the lower resistance of the coil could damage the driver in the ecu.

When I tested the relays I found the red one that was for the fuel pump had 
quite a high resistance on the primary circuit and also polarity sensitive, 
must have the diode installed, one of my spare yellow relays has much lower 
resistance on primary and isn’t polarity sensitive, the the numbers on the 
connections match and when I’ve trialled the yellow relay I still have power to 
the fuel pump, both are rated at the same amps.

Some of the relays have a diode in series with the coil so they only work with

There are also 5 pin relays that have 1 change over contact and some that have

The best way is to look closely at the little diagram Ford tend to put on the 
side of the relay and make sure it matches.

Watch out if you use aftermarket relays as the are 2 different pinout standards 
for car type relays, same arrangement of pins but the internal connections are 
different.

[Quantum Owners] Distributor ignition amplifier module

2019-04-11 Thread Susan and Martin Scott 
Something I noticed when I started the Q last week - It started almost 
immediately, where previously (before the module replacement) it took a bit of 
turning over, however this isn't comclusive as when a car is left for several 
weeks in the garage without starting it can be a bit unlikely to start quickly.
Another thing I found out whilst searching for the module. Module failure 
(due to heat) is a known issue with Land Rovers, and there is a kit available 
for remote mounting of the module in a cooler part of the engine bay!

2019-04-11 Thread Derek Clews 
I have now had a chance to measure my ride heights to the lowest point of the 
gearbox crossmember.  The Coupe I know is lowered and rides at 3.5inches.  The 
2+2 is on the standard springs and shocks with 14 inch wheels but suitably 
thinner rubber giving a neutral effect  and rides at 4.1 inches.

The 2+2 does appear higher than before as said probably due to the broken 
spring and settling.  But I cannot recall the Monroe set up being higher - 
maybe just my memory!  But it will now clear quite high speed bumps.
