Thanks for the info, but it seems many are "Service Exchange" and its cost prohibitive to ship a starter both ways, so I am trying to get the spares to rebuild it locally.

There are two reconditioned ones on ebay ATM.

Would you know if these are decent rebuilds as sometimes Ebay items are not up to standards.

I also have to ship it to North America.

Is the starter a CAV CA45F - I have a Army WS Manual but its dated Sep 1983 and the truck is a 1989, so I want to make sure I`m getting the correct unit.

Many Thanks,

John

Hi everyone,

Is there a list of spares suppliers that specialize in  Bedford (AWD)  MJ?

I am looking for a starter motor or spares to rebuild the starter.

Many Thanks

After going through the electrical diagrams and checking wiring today was I was successful - but I feel a little stupid!!

I initially had charged both batteries and checked them with a battery tester and the amperage showed good so didn't think my issue was there!

Today I attached my 24V booster pack and she fired up within one revolution and is as sweet and smokey as ever(keeps the flies away:-D).

So, the batteries are good but not good enough!

Thanks for the assistance, Clive and Robin!

Hi,

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a MJ.

After a year of non-use I can't get her to crank over. I am suspecting a starter issue.

I am assuming the box attached to the starter is a solenoid??

Thanks, in advance, for your help!

In our LHD ones they are mounted on a bracket under the dash in front of the passenger facing on the angle towards the driver. Could take a photo but it would be for a LHD vehicle

Hi Robin

A picture would be great, mines LHD - which way is the tach cable routed?

John

I wanted to install a tach in my 1989 AWD MJ.

Anyone have any pictures of where the tach is mounted in the cab?

Also does anyone know the correct routing for the tach cable?

Thanks

John

He cold have screwed us over, as other Uk sellers do, as we are abroad but he has always sent what he described. Prices are ho hum but he has always been reliable. Dont know where in the UK he is think somewhere like Wales.

 

I have no relationship with him and havent bought for about a year.

 

Robin

Thanks Robin

One of the other forum members put me on to Hamptons in Staffordshire and they have been very helpful. I am heading to Scotland on Wednesday on my yearly pilgrimige for spares for my Brit Cars and this year the MJ!!

After watching your thread on the ferrets I was very tempted to bid on a Ferret on MOD disposal but the wife would shoot me first!

I have a MK/MJ cab rear screen if you want it as a spare ?

Bob Grundy

Where are you located Bob?

Happy New Year Everyone!

Any suggestions on where would you get a MJ Front Windscreen in the UK?

Is it the same windscreen in the MK?

I was also looking for a Complete PTO winch kit - any ideas??

Thanks:-D

John

Thanks for the input everyone:)

John

Any suggestions on what should be done to winterize an MJ outdoors in

a freezing climate.?

Is there anything special that should be done to the air brakes system for example?

John

I have just bought a 1989 AWD Bedford MJ which has it's original green paint covered with a sand color. Also the top of the cab is painted red and the doors black.

It came directly out of service like this from CFB Suffield in Alberta.

I have two questions:

Why did they paint the truck like this? :confused:

What is the original paint code for the green on this truck??

Thanks for your help :-D

John

Hi Robin

I just joined the forum and I also bought a MJ and it now resides in Newfoundland!
