- Whilst cramming the huge new 6 branch exhaust into the miniscule space that is the engine bay of my MkII BT7, I touched the terminals of the OD relay on the bulkhead with the end of a socket spanner

- My PO bypassed it on my BJ8 and I haven't changed it. From what I understand, the throttle linkage relay prevents the OD from disengaging without some throttle advance. This helps stop stress on the

- Not that I haven't done the same thing myself many times, but Simon's story is a good reminder of why auto repair manuals tell you to disconnect the battery, or turn the battery switch off of yours i

- The following describes the BJ8 wire colors. I'm not sure if they are the same for the BT7, but..... If you pull off the connector with the two white/purple wires from terminal W2 of the overdrive r

- Before I started the restoration of my car during the late 1970s I by-passed the relays and the OD worked perfectly. However it eventually became difficult to engage once again and I did away with t

- I put an overdrive in my standard class (no OD) BT7 10 years ago, and never installed a relay. Just match RPMs on disengagement or use the clutch. Gearshift lock-out still works. Because I don't use
