From the the previous two responses it appears my choice is to replace the coil for a non ballast one, and I assume find a tidy way to join the wires that went into the old resistor to the ones that come out, or to find a replacement resistor.
At the moment I have not decided, maybe I should conduct an online poll! There appear to be lots of 1.5 ohm ones on sale (MG, Triumph etc) but no 0.9 ohm ones - anyone know what would happen if I used one of these as it would be very simple, cheap, and tidy to? Just out of interest does anyone know what goes wrong with these things as I have taken it out and it appears to look like the electric fires that were about when I was a child -a coil of wire in a ceramic holder. Mine has a break in the ceramic that I can glue back together but the wire is not broken. I may try to just clean up the terminals to see if has another 40 years life in it! Thanks to all contributors again as it is a relief now to have these options to play with rather than pondering over why its not working. |
