Greetings from way down south, how does one get hold of what sounds like an essential tool for the V6 motor? How much to buy one? I read an earlier post where a member made up his own unit, how difficult is this? Don't think I can make the next gathering, bit too far away unfortunately.

G'day John (hope you say that in NZ or is it just in OZ)

Building a vis tester is not too difficult even for someone like me a mechanic/welder the hardest components to acquire are the plugs from the engine loom for the vis motors if you can get these then it's easy enough. Look through the "How To" section all info is there mate.

I recently purchased an engine loom from a breaker in the UK, it cost me £20 sterling. All the other components were sourced from an electronics supply shop. I suppose you could buy all that you would need online also.

If you are interested in building your own tester and can't get the vis plugs I would quite happily try to find a loom for you here in the UK and mail it to you mate.

Gidday mate, thanks for your very generous offer, which I would like to take you up on. Can you send me your details. Our son lives in surrey, we are hoping that he will come over to NZ for our summer hols. If so he could bring the loom over with him. Postage is not cheap, although as I only need the terminals cost should not be too bad.
The more I read about failing vis motors, the more I think The Prince of Darkness (ie Lucas) may not have so bad after all. John

Morning John think i have sourced the vis plugs going to the breaker to have a look. He's got a V6 in but the engine is stripped out so he's not sure what I'm after, keep your fingers crossed that the vis loom is still on mate . Will report back asap.

Hello again John success have managed to find 2 vis plugs, have stripped them of the outer casings so you have the 2 plugs and approx 18 inch of wiring to play with, more than enough, to connect straight into your box. Have sent you a PM please check your forum inbox mate
cheers
MIKE

Go to rimmers and punch in part no

MKE 100102 for power VIS
MKE 100110 for Balance VIS

(sit down first)
Are these VIS the same on the 20 ltr engine and what does "Give up" inside?
The mtr or the screw?

Yes 2 ltr and 2.5 are same part. As for what gives up, take your pick.

Motor, relay, switches, PCB burn out, dry joints. Very much a open it up and see operation

Can you ask if he has a Traction Control Motor as well for my 2003 Rover 75. I also live in New Zealand and would appreciate any help in replacing mine as it now showing the fault light permanently on.
