as i found out with my 3500 the reson my ballast wire started to smoke and burn was because
the (coil boost) wire as i am going to call it ,was ahorting out somewhere or faulty at the ignition
switch so i hooked it up throught the starter relay with a diode(from an old computer power supply)
and...
hello i have a seres 1 rover 3500 p6 and at some ime in its life it must have had the heater core hoses leaking and
they ave leaked onto the block below the maniflod and made pinholes that oil sparays out of when engine revs
so i have solderd themup for now but what is a permenant soloutin

hello
im my previous post i thought it was astarter relay problem but after tinkering
with the system i found that the starter relay to motor needed a section taking
out and crimping togeter and the starter coil boost(i call it that because of the
aviation engines) wire is somehow connected...
there is no white ceramic box near the coil but there is two wires that
have been crimped togeter and one of them started to melt the
insulation so i cut it but i tried re connecting it and still no voltage
if you need to see a visual of the system it is on the owners club
under series 1 (the first three pictures on the screen) but the
air filter hose is in the way (this photo was from years before i owned
the car or my mum did and i only found out due to a keyring )
it sat for a year or so and...
i check for power from the positive side of the coil directly to ground
and i have already ruled out the electronic ignition system and the
distributor cap
where is the ballast resistor
thanks
john
i have checked for power to the coil and there is none
i think the wires when you pull up the carpet on the drivers side
of the center console leading the the gearbox are the wires to the inhibitor switch
how would i rig it so it just ran for now ,someone borrowed my Haynes and
are now...
had to put it in drive and rock it and put it back into neutral and then the starter moter cranked
but it will not start i have no spark and no power to the coil can anyone help me even with a temporary soloution
i have a rover (p6 3500 v8 mk1) and have been having some trouble with it
i went to start it after it had been stood for a while (due to my mother owning the
car then she died and i have shouted at solicitors for the last year to get it in
my name ) well ok stood for a very long while and it...
