Switching things on certainly increases the electrical load on the alternator, but it doesn't increase the mechanical load. The alternator is spun by the engine and the current it produces is controlled electronically. Switching things on and off won't change the speed the alternator is spinning or...

yeah ill get a photo tomorrow, i know for a fact that the 3 dont line up as the water pump has two channels so to speak one from the engine and the other to the alternator. at the moment the single belt takes the path of least resistance, and like i said the water pulley has a slight wobble now. ill...

that does make a difference, but ive changed that twice and initially it did improve but deteriorated quickly. ive tensioned it several times since without much succsess? im beginning to wonder if its the problem of having just the one belt slung round it, i had initially tried replacing the two mys...

hi all the problem is this when i start up initially i get no noise, but as soon as it gets a bit of gas the screeching starts, it increases as you go up through 1st sometimes second once past a certain amount of revs it stops however when you stop at a junction etc it begins again. this goes on unt...

cheers peeps

hi

ive read a few posts about how this job is easy but whats actually involved?

chris

no penta owners with an opinion then?

i just want to know if there are people with my type fitted, and if so have you had any problems with em?

chris

once you've stuck them up though how do you open them up to put new batteries in without tearin them off (the screws are on the back) ??

that penny dropped after i'd put 4 up in mine

ive just bought an ooogar horn, and yeah they aint legal but you get a wiring diagram on the box showing you how to hook it up with a relay and a switch, so you can swop between your standard and 'fancy' horn, getting you round the legality (mot). of course you'll only switch to and use your musical...

thanks for the reps Tex and Kathy if they do stick out i think it'll affect the steering too, so i just wont bother. im gonna take the back wheel off this weekend and offer one up to see what it looks like. was hoping to hear from some penta owners for a comparison but oh well. im gonna track down t...

hi ive posted about these before, and i was due to get the extended bolts this week and get someone to fit them next week. then i saw these http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/chimpthedestroyer/RIMG0400.jpg now mine, which simon at brickwerks said would stick out a mile look like this http://i60.p...

hi after my last post i felt better but was still confused so here goes im fitting 15" penta's btw (7Jx15H2 on the rim) some people have said that these take tapered bolts and others radiused? i had a look at mine and i get the impression that mine were radiused that now go to tapered (perhaps ...

they're 15", the number on the rim is 7Jx15H2, thats good to hear about the spare Nick, thanks for that. about the studs though, i know i can just replace the bolts up front but i thought i'd definately have to get the studs at the back replaced, i was gonna ask about wether the bolts/nuts woul...

hi all right then, i bought a set of four penta's from vanfest for my t25 with a good set of 195/60 R15's on i think the alloys are 15" but measuring across i get 16 1/2"?? the tyres are also marked R16 futher round the tyre. as usual it was, what i thougt, a clever impulse buy killing two...

thanks guys!

thats what i though, just wasnt sure. you've saved me some money there, can go for the beefier batt now.

thanks
