Hi all an odd request I know . but I am using one of these gearboxes for something else, so I need to make adapters using the internally splined ends. would...
Hi, has anybody got good idea of where to get a low-priced but decent 12 volt battery for a microcar virgo car. Our present one is 7ins by 7ins square and is...
Hi Patricia if it is at all possible you might try what I did with my Aixam and modify the battery holder to take a more readily available size. I looked...
I put a bigger bat in my aixam too, some will tell you that a bigger battery will melt your alternator, but thats wrong. Mines been on for years and its...
I agree with SJ. Providing the replacement battery is 12 volt it doesn't matter if it has a higher capacity. The terminal voltage on a flat 12 volt lead acid...
Hi Steve! Interesting! Thanks for sharing. John Shanton P.S. I wrote a book about mini and microcars. Am trying to put together one with all the latest models....

I may be shooting blanks here, but can anyone point me toward a Service Manual for these little imps? I keep running into problems and the mechanics mechanics...
Give me an email on paul.harte@... I'll have a look tomorrow, I seem to think I've got two driveshafts spare but you'll have to email me to remind me...
Can anyone tell me the tension on the belt when you press down on top? The reason I ask is that I am using the transmission on something else and the mounting...
errr. there isn't any, its loose....the pulleys close up and take up the drive. So if your using the pulleys just make sure they are the same centres as they...
That's what I want to know,how loose? or if anyone can give me the centre measurement to both pulleys that would be great. I don't have a car just the pulleys...
These belts are quite thick and want to be circular or oval so measuring centre slack is no good. On my Aixam 500 the pulley centres (as far as I can measure...
When you say "must start out a good 50mm" I take it you mean the pulleys are out of alignment at the start? Which way? eg rear pulley further out or in by...
Had so many problems with this car. Wouldn't start. Replaced battery and it was fine for a short while. Then wouldn't start. Recharged battery. Got out...
I would take it to an auto electrician. The fault sounds electrical (possibly a problem with the charging system) and the electrics are not complicated so any...
Sounds like its not charging, im surprised the RAC/AA didn't put a meter across the terminals while it ran to check for 14 or more volts going in. Even a...
... Had a similar problem on my Microcar MC1... Several questions...Do you have electrics when you turn on the ignition? Does the Starter turn over? Could be...
Yes we have electrics when we turn the ignition on and when we go to starter we have illuminations! The starter motor turns over but doesn't start the engine....
Get back to basics. When the battery is fully charged the engine turns over yes and starts? When it starts to play up do the following- take out a spark plug...
Just had a look at the wiring diagram on this site and (as far as I can see) the carburettor does indeed have a fuel cut off which should click when you turn...
