Evening folks, I have the chance of getting my greasy mitts on a brockhouse 1 ton, I've not had a chance of viewing it yet but it appears in generally decent nick, done a few hours raking the internet, I found they are 750mm to the tow ring and if I were to fit a nato hitch it would be 650mm to...

aye it went from having typical alt symptoms to being fine with new one fitted then back to exactly as it was, dont know if ive been unlucky with the new alternator or if its something else lurking with the other symptoms indicators ect

few weeks back what i thought failed was my alternator,usual symptoms battery light on low voltage at battery and it had been doing it on and off for a while so i stuck an alternator on it, when it was originally bringing battery light on it would also disable indicators and heated rear screen...

it was more so to put eka to a memorable number than anything else, the car is running locking unlocking as it should other than a nsf door lock mechanism not lifting the latch -but it doesnt seem to be affecting the imobiliser and alarm side of things,probably a linkage or something

got my rf receiver today and it worked-happy days, still wet up there so currently dehumidifying the life out of it, anyone covered waterproofing these black boxes? i was thinking a condom and a cable tie then i could go look for something to waterproof the rf receiver:p, any suggestions greatly...

to be fair if i was just checking the tappets i wouldnt necasarily be replacing the gasket, that being said its worth having one hanging in the shed so id buy one anyway because there is nothing surer than if you dont have one the old one wont seal lol, aye the full kit with the half moons and a...
