A14 Installation 3                                                                             Last Updated: 02/10/2006
So let's chop up some hoses till I get something that fits, by the 3rd attempt I'm happy
Top and bottom, chopped and fit, a few hose clamps later and it's all good
On to some wiring: Water temp, dizzy & -ve battery lead need sorting. (the 3rd photo shows me sneaky way of getting the starter motor bolt of) - which is where the -ve battery lead goes.
Next up alternator...hmm trouble alternator wires are now on the wrong side of the car! (A12 has alt on pass side, A14 has alt on driver side) hmmmm
Voltage reg on wrong side too! So the coil has to move over for the voltage reg
So I started unravelling the loom, bit hard when connected to the indicator.
All unclipped and out of the engine bay - bottom of photo is alternator loom, top is the passenger side headlight, indicator loom - that's going to have to go back over there. The alternator wiring has to stay on the drivers side though. Problem is they share the same earth wire - had to cut that and separate the earths.
Here's the new loom setup for the passenger headlight
Alternator side
New coil attached and battery fitted too.
