Jimmy F Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Evening, bit of background; been into WW2 reenacting for a while and decided to take the plunge into getting a vehicle. Got into reenacting through an interest in my grandads service during the war. Due to this portray a member of a field company and wanted to get a fitting vehicle. Stumbled across the below '44 Morris GS. Chuffed to bits with her. Only issue is that the battery isn't receiving a charge at all and a slight oil leak, which is getting looked at in the week.

Be aware if you have to remove the dynamo, that it is driven by the timing chain and there is a procedure to do it otherwise you will have a problem. Best of luck hope it is something simple, try the fuse in the control box first. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy F Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Cheers for the advise guys. I'm not going to tinker with any electrics myself. I completely understand house electrics, yet car electrics completely baffle me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
