I am new to A7 ownership , as I have inherited a special . It is rigged to run and the dynamo is putting out the correct voltage . The wiring is terrible so I am going to fit a ruby loom. In the mean time I am busting to drive it. Question? will driving it with the dynamo not connected to any thing ,damage it? Rob

In my oppinion no.

As long as the dynamo is not connected you should be OK. This is different to running wihtout a battery with the wires still connected. Search "dynamo" on this forum and a few posts down the results will be a subject heading "dyno's and dizzies" in here somewere is the electrical reason why the above applies.

Thanks, for comments. I drove it today! I use the term loosely. I survived a short run. I WILL read up on making brakes work! the dynamo seems fine.. Rob.
