Why did you get the alternator reconditioned?

have you tested the main battery feed from alternator to battery?

cheers

it helps guie the screwdrive and keeps it in the slot. 

Yeah not got much chance with anythig 12v.  My heater is fine, but on frosty mornings in whatever vehicle I am using ,   I have my 700Wh Powerbank and a 600W Ceramic mains heater. Produces enough heat to thaw the screen. And I recharge it at my workshop where electricity is free :)  Or put a 2KW fan...

oh no it won't

its not till february.

I have not forgotten about mine, just every spare moment when I have energy i sspent on design and build of things for the theatre panto.. 

Good work

sure its great progress, but we cant see the images,

most likely the foil PCB on the back of the instrument cluster has failed. if it was faulty it would be easy to recreate one from scratch if it were not for the random IC that I can't identify. Re-engineering it is on my backlog of things to do though and is simple enough with modern microcontrollers.

most likly culprits are dry joints or leaky electrolitic caps, without a schematixc it gets difficult

LHD cabes shpuld be longer than RHD, so careful shortening and modifying may be possible.

if you installed it wrong, the reg lettering would be reversed and not read correctly.??

Work back from the fault, not towards it. 

bridge main terminal to solenoid (test)
jump lead from chassi to gearbox (test)
jump lead from batt to main terminal (test)
and so on

there should only be two wires at the starter, can;t go wrong. a fat one to the solenoid main input and a thin one to the solenoid actuation, have you done something more to complicate things as its not clear why your having a problem,

Not a problem fo most of us then 

did mine and it was glued, more hassle than difficult. mine had some clips too.
