Re: Wiring harness routing SP250 B type LHD

Hi Ian
Your response to my last question was excellent thank you. One more question I have is; if mice have built their nest in the cull itself, how would I ensure I get that nest out? Do you have any experience/knowledge regards this please?

Many thanks

Re: Wiring harness routing SP250 B type LHD

I have just recently completed this job but luckily I had the foresight to attach a mousing wire when the old loom was pulled out so the new cables went in quite easily along the sill. The hardest bit was getting the cable over the mudguard and into the boot, even with the mouse wire, but with much...

Re: Removal of float arm from SP250 petrol tank sender.

Hi Guys
I have removed the tank itself and taken out the old sender. I can not remove the arm itself from the little hole into which it slides
I know that it should simply be eased/tapped out but mine is pretty solidly held in place and I don’t want to damage it by banging to force it out.

Hi All Can anyone advise how to remove the tubular float arm bar from the housing section of the sender in the petrol tank please?
