  1. Hi guys, thanks for the replies. Yep still doing it with the intermittent on \ off light, that's why I think Banjo's right & it's worn bushes:-) I'm still working out how to - new one on ebay only $187, 2nd hand from local wrecker with 3 months warranty $65 [ & then refurb old one } haven't talked to auto electrician yet so all those options are good & possible. Spare for the 2000 ae112 wouldn't hurt anyway & I believe they're the same one. She's still taking me to work every night no worries so all good so far.
  2. Hi ke70Dave & Banjo, thanks for the prompt replies I will be checking this arvo as per the first post and what you are saying adds up, age and wear from the sound of it. I figured a recon alternator or even 2nd hand would probably be an easy fix as I've never pulled an Alternator apart but will let you know how it goes as time permitts [ Kids wife & shiftwork usually get in the way ] but there's always the 112 auto as a backup if need be :-) Edit after finding 20 minutes spare. I found a little corrosion on the bolt shown uncovered in this pic so I've loosened \ removed and RP 7 'd all the connections I could reach \ find and when I ran the multi meter she was 13.25 Volts off and 14.45 running so the battery's healthy and at worst it would appear to be banjo's brush issue now to research how to's on remove & replace those buggers but at least we can work on these old girls without a computer degree eh?
  3. Hi all, hoping the experts on here might have a quick answer for me as in 37 years of all kinds of cars I've never seen this particular issue. My '95 AE101 Seca has 301000 klm's and has just started flashing the battery light at me while driving to work. there is no relation to revs [high or low] or to load [ lights or not] and the light doesn't really come on a lot it's sort of slowly brightening then going out or just appearing then going away. never lasts more than a minute or so and was visible a total for maybe 10 minutes of a 40 minute drive. When I get time I'm planning to check belt [Okay at last service], connections on alternator and battery [ no signs of corrosion ]. Does anyone have any ideas \ suggestions please??
  4. Hi all, success first go I found it easier to simply put a spade connector on the wire and run it from the terminal in the diagnostic plug. Just have to remember to disconnect if I ever get someone to check diagnostics. Even better the old Micronta Tacho cleaned up nice and looks and works like a new one. Now just have to look into the high idle issue [ I thought it was] the tacho shows it's running at 1400 rpm at idle. Could be related to the cold running as I think someone may have removed the thermostat or its stuck open. Thanks again Ian.
  5. Hi Ian, Thanks, I'm still learning about them and it's definately a 4afe. I'll update when done.
  6. Hi new user as I seem to have lost the account I started last year. Quick question to the Guru's in the club. I'm putting an old led Tacho \ clock unit in a 1995 Corolla AE102R with the 4AFE 1.6 motor where can I connect the [green] signal feed wire to on this car please? The unit is compatible with electronic breakerless and transistor systems eg GM Electronic \ HEI or Bosch CDI.
