Leyland P76 Owners 2004

Technical problem


By Garth

I have been reading the web articles about starter motor problems and found a major problem which I think everyone has over looked.
Some members have written about voltage drop to the starter motor and complained that the original starter relay fitted to the P76 is inadequate.
This is NOT the case.
The problem with the system is in the wiring.
The Starter relay uses a 2.5 mm wire for the battery supply to the starter relay.
This wire then runs up the harness and goes half way around the world and then comes back to the fuse box where it is attached to the main 5.5 mm thick brown battery feed wire.
To fix the problem you have to open up the harness at the fire wall just next to the fuse box where the wiring runs down to the starter relay and the inhibitor switch.
Then join the thin 2.5 mm brown wire to the thick 5.5 mm brown wire.
This will fix the voltage drop problems to the starter relay.
Hope this helps.
