Headlamp relay, '71 144DL.
 

Howdo.

Does anyone in forum-land have either a new or used headlamp relay for my 144, failing that does anyone have the PART NUMBER for a '71 144 headlamp relay so I can see if Rufe at FRF in Swansea has one?

Thanks in advance, Nick H.

I have various relays kicking about. Can you post a picture of the one you need; and I'll see if I have one?

Just had a peek under Monica's bonnet, and looked in my 140 series Haynes book.

Funnily enough, the lighting relay is the only one without a part number on!

I hope the following will be helpful:

All 140 cars seem to have had the same six-terminal relay, pin numbers 81a, 56a, 56b, 15, 31b, and 56.

Have you tried a breakers? Any chance the headlamp relay from an early 240 might be the same?

Hey John, how are you?

This is a snap of the relay bar (with a AA battery on top of the headlamp relay for scale...

... and this is the relay in close-up.

As you can see from the bottom of the casing, we've tried some remedial servicing but all that happens now when I pull on the stick is the dip beam goes out and stays out or, after a two second time lag, the main beam comes on - not very conducive to safe night-time driving, I reckons!

Thanks for looking, Nick.

Has reference to your relay - I think! See page 49. It's the wholesale price list for Hella Norway for 2007

In Norwegian - 'Avblenderrele' loosely translates as Dazzler Relay I think!

I'd like to track this down too - just in case mine ever goes plop!

Cheers

Just found this link: http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.e...e/homepage.php

Mate has an Amazon and a 244 in his yard, different relays - bugger!

C.A.

with looking at the wiring diagrams a 240 one could be adapted i would think ...

CA,

The good news: I think I have one of those
The bad news: Looked, but can't find it! (So maybe I imagined it)

I'm away now for nearly a week so won't be able to check again.

Sorry

John

Is this any use?

Spotted that, thanks anyhoo!

I e-mailed him and he says there are 6 terminals so fingers X'ed.
