Hi All,
Quick question... 71 bus, Type 1 (AD) engine. My gen light flickered tonight when moving 2nd gear / 20mph ish, 3rd gear 30mph ish. No problem at idle. Engine bay seems a bit warm, especially the hoses to the fan. Oil dipstick was cool enough. I was driving at night, with wipers, and I have fitted a split relay charge circuit for the second battery. Just changed the gasket on one of the valve covers because it has been dumping tons of oil, and stuck a litre of 15w/40 in (its all I had to hand). I know its bad to mix oil grades, but its going to be a full change in a couple of weeks time anyhow, and I don't think this could possibly cause this problem.
Any pointers as to how I can diagnose this problem? Muir is as vague as timing, which I will change tomorrow (retard? advance? he doesn't say- will probably advance it a bit). Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Antony
