Voltage Stabiliser

Yet another problem unfolding, found that the voltage stabiliser is broke, fuel and water gauges have been working sporadically, so took all the tape off that had been wrapped round it and one of the prongs has become detached and was attached to the tape, so my question is is this knackered now? and can I still drive my car without it in the short term? I've tried to attach picture so fingers crossed.

Forgot to say that I reattached the wires to the 2 remaining prongs and gauges worked but cannot get any readings on my volt meter to measure if its 10 volts or not!!

Yep, that's had it. There should be a number on the casing (maybe LM317), readily available on ebay.

Edit: Just an observation but was there any solder on these legs?

Martin, no markings on casing, in fact it doesn't even have a casing it was just wrapped up in lots of electrical tape, and no solder at bottom of prongs, Can I still use the Dolly or is it best not to without this in situe? I'm not brilliant electrically but do have a volt meter, and from the remaining 2 prongs I get no readings although the gauges do work with wires connected to 2 remaining prongs!
Also would it be more ideal to try and source an original?

If bin it and either source an original one or buy an electronic one from the club.

The club one is electronic and not much more..

It should attach to the rear of the speedometer.

By casing I meant the black plastic bit that the three pins protrude from, you may need a magnifying glass.

How would I go about ordering from the club?

Definately no markings on plastic!

OK, not to worry.

You will be ok to drive like it but you obviously won't have fuel & temp. gauges, so you would need to know you have enough fuel and theat the engine wasn't overheating.

Plenty in club stock.
