rjluna2 ◊ 2013-05-26 23:04	The 'ice detector' may be the fog light cover
Sandie ◊ 2013-05-26 23:06	No, dsl and ingo are correct. These icelert sensors were very common on UK cars in the early seventies.
rjluna2 ◊ 2013-05-26 23:25	Interesting
chris40 ◊ 2013-05-27 08:39	They are Lucas LR8 foglight covers. Why would you need two ice detectors?
dsl ◊ 2013-05-27 13:54	Because a single detector is only good enough for poor people? Or for different colours of ice - one does black ice and the second does other shades? OK these probably are Lucas fogs - I could not decide which is why I asked - but what's going on with the blanks here /vehicle_317774-Rolls-Royce-Phantom-V-5VD63-1965.html compared to their absence at /vehicle_320545-Rolls-Royce-Phantom-V-5VD63-1965.html and /vehicle_345061-Rolls-Royce-Phantom-V-5VD63-1965.html ?
Ingo ◊ 2013-05-27 21:21	Sandie wrote These icelert sensors were very common on UK cars in the early seventies. In fact they were a bullshit idea. At least nothing more than a very primitive thermometer. When you have mounted it, you have caused damages at the car (the more stupid you are, the more damages), as drilled holes at the front bumper or front panel, drilles holes in the dashboard, maybe in the headboard between engine and passengers space, plus opening the cable harness - and all that for a shitty thing, which works only for a few dozens meters! Because the opening -it's indeed a metal-box with just one hole, in the middle of the front side- will be immediately stuck with mud and snow.
Sandie ◊ 2013-05-27 21:32	chris40 wrote Why would you need two ice detectors? Are you sure? I'm sure I've seen cars with two of them and I've been explicitly told they were ice sensors. That said, you are more likely than I to know about this and maybe I've been given bad info.
dsl ◊ 2013-05-27 21:45	chris40 wrote Why would you need two ice detectors? Because they were made by Lucas .......
Sandie ◊ 2013-05-27 21:52	The more I think about it, the more I think I've made this mistake because people have mistook Lucas foglights for Icelert sensors (presumably because they would struggle to function as foglights) and told me this. So as you were.
chris40 ◊ 2013-05-28 08:44	The Icelert was rather smaller than an LR8 foglight, and usually (though not invariably) chrome plated. IIRC it was an optional extra on Rover P6 3500s: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3239/2516972563_1b66c8439b_z.jpg
Ingo ◊ 2013-05-28 19:53	dsl wrote Because they were made by Lucas ....... See the original box on the pic Oh, the company still exists, although this useless icelert-ivention: http://www.findlayirvine.com/
robgeelen2 ◊ 2013-06-01 14:23	Chris is right. They are Lucas foglamps. They were supplied with loose plastic covers which prevented them - in theory - from having the glass crushed by stones etc. It was a useless idea, because if you needed to use them you had to get out of the car, and take them off. The car is an early LWB Saloon with division, first seris F.S.S. specification with separate reverse lamps, but with the non ventilated wheel discs, so 1969 or 1970. -- Last edit: 2013-06-01 14:26:09
