Only just seen this. Check that the lever assembly has been fitted properly. It kind of hooks under the switch on the column, if that makes sense.

Once again Haynes is silent on this. Many article suggest removing whole dash! But its so easy to get to. Pull of knob. Prise off the panel with a screwdriver which is held on by a couple of push fit connectors - not sure of correct name. No need to even take off plastic ends of heater control lever...

Once again, electrical problems. Lost all electrics, and I mean all. Luckily at home. Didn't believe it could be battery earth again, so tested pretty much everything else. In desperation removed earth bolt, cleaned around the hole and ground back to bare metal. Re-connected and she fired up.

Took mine off as was grounding in bumpy fields. Now running lower springs and PAS so handling much improved.

Hi I know original post some years ago but battery stopped charging, van kept cutting out. Couldn't get alternator off as an oversized bolt had been forced through from the back ( any ideas on extracting this without removing engine ) . Replaced the brush box/regulator, fiddly having to do it blind ...
