Chaps; isn't Ray making a very good point here? Shouldn't he be concentrating on checking the solenoid valves electrically?

From memory I believe the winding of the solenoid breaks down this begins with an intermittent fault and progresses to total failure giving the harsh changes. Worth noting they are seriously harsh changes. As said previous the multi-plug needs to be separated and checked with a multi-meter.

Thanks again Dave, this is an intermittent fault and therefore seems more likely to be selenoid trouble. I shall do as you say with a multimeter. But Christmas is upon us now and there is a good coating of frost on the car and for the next few days l shall be holding a glass rather than tools. So l shall wish all members a very Merry Christmas. Best Wishes. Ray.

DMGRS has a deal on the 2/4 solenoid at the moment.

(Note diagram for testing wiring on ad)
and a How to.

Just checked my emails and there it was £34-99 can't afford not to at that price. Just need to order a gasket now. A job for the new year. Cheers.

Does the deal include P&P or is that extra ? the listing is not clear on postal costs, also when would the item arrive due to the time of year, & the festive period.

At that price it would be worth maybe purchasing one to keep on the shelf ?

That’s exactly what I’ve done, is the gasket a Rimmers only item ?
