    GF0012-AUST got a reaction from SPArKy_Dave in EF high beam problems   
    Failed again. Stuck on the stethoscope and isolated the dead relay. Went to the local pick a part and grabbed a bag of spares off an EL and an AU as supercheap had nothing.
     
    Sprayed relay seats, gave relay terminals a quick brush with a brass brush, problem now fixed

    Looked next to fuse block and relay block, looked at relay block under expansion tank and couldn’t find the circuit breaker. Vanilla EF, so nothing extraordinary about the car from a electrical layout perspective.
     
    however, reseated all fuses, relays along the fender, scrubbed the battery terminals and it all came back on, both Lo and hi beams.
     
    so maybe dirty connections?

    GF0012-AUST got a reaction from bigpaulo in what is log?   
    Log manifolds (not motors) refer to the combined head and manifold on Australian 188 and 221's - It was an australian nickname for combined casts
    they're NOT an american block but come from a US baseline 200 I6 but with a raised deck (done by ford oz). the oz 188 and 221's replaced the US 170 and 200 "logs"
     
    before 250's came out it was common to lance the manifold off and make a separate one.  I did this to a 221 that was in my XR,  once you shaved the manifold off you could fit one off a gen 1 250, although most just dumped the original head for a 250 -2v.  plus you could use 250 extractors with the head swap
     
    its called a log because the manifold looked like a log
