New member with a 3B project!

[James Mcmahon]

Hi, New member here, I have just picked up a 3B project. Plenty of little bits and pieces to find for it and I'm sure I will have a million questions as time goes on. First job was to get it washed!

That looks like a proper 'barn find' Lovely colour too, or least it will be after a good wash

looks like a decent find, even has the air-guides for the radiators in situ. Hopefully you managed to shut the sunroof properly before you got the hosepipe pointed at it

[James Mcmahon]

Thanks! I have given it a wash, I’m struggling with uploading photos though! Managed to shut the sunroof and it came up surprising good, a bit of TLC and it should come up pretty nicely. Next step is to try and get it running, I have a new fuel filter and cambelt kit for it. So hopefully over the next few days I can get it running again. The front bumper is a bit of a mess and will need repairing or replacing and I need a pair of headlights too.

I have been holding off cranking it over until I changed the belt so I changed the cam belt and water pump today....it didn’t run when I cranked it unfortunately, so I guess I will spend my day trying to diagnose what the problem is.

[LSG]

Sorry to hear that fella. Have you got a code reader this will help your pain .

[James Mcmahon]

i have access to diagnostics but whether they will work on this I don’t know. I sold the other one I had. Where do you connect the diagnostics in on these?

Two little black and white connectors in the fuse box

Good man John. That should help you out also S2 central is very helpful for info

[James Mcmahon]

Thank you, I will keep you updated on what happens. My mechanical knowledges is pretty good but electronics fry my brain. If it’s too complicated I will get my auto electrician on it.....if he hasn’t closed down for quarantine.
