[Healeys] Overdrive solenoid

[Bob Spidell]

Piet, 

Sounds like your diagnosis is correct. 

I bought a new solenoid years ago from Mike Salter, who had come across a batch at a fair price. Since I have a replacement the original insists on working fine after 170K miles. It's a Lucas part; I suspect all the usual suspects will have the same thing so you can probably order based on price, convenience, etc. (just make sure the vendor has a fair return policy in case the part is wrong or defective).

I did and I ran for a while with a test light connected between the solenoid wire and earth. When the O/D cuts in and out the light remains steady which to me indicates that it is not an interruption in the power supply to the solenoid itself.

Did you check/change the switch? All the wiring and connections to the O/D?
