Hi guys, i wanna start learning a bit more about engines, cars, etc.

so what i need help with is my reversing light has gone, replaced bulb, nothing, replaced fuse still nothing where do people think is the best place to start?

Thanks Harry
 
get someone to hold lever hard over to the drivers side in reverse whilst someone checks to see if light comes on,remove bulb or plug on rear of lamp and test for live 12v with reverse selected ignition on if non try at switch on rhs of gear box grren wired plug under center seat panel
 
If you really are starting at the beginning then I suggest that bible of the DIY'er, the Haynes Manual. Some will say that it is not perfect but the format has stood the test of time and the combination of words & photos is ideal for the first timer through and is often referred to by the experienced DIY mechanic, I suggest both the normal manual and the Restoration Guide. Time was that you bought one and thoroughly digested it before you actually got hold of the vehicle so when that happy time came, you already knew your way around it. :)
Also the genuine Owners Manual is a very good glovebox (or should that be cubbybox?) reference, they include everything from basic controls through to maintenance, capacities & pressures off-road driving tips, etc etc..... Plenty available on eBay.

Factory workshop manuals have their place of course but it isn't for the inexperienced home mechanic with little knowledge and even less in the way of a professional tool-kit. :confused:

Ive got the haynes and the owners manual, both i agree are brilliant, and ive looked through it, only problem with haynes is they can be vague sometimes, so thought id grab some advice from the forums, which can be better then the manuals :)
 
Mine didnt work when i got mine, just like everything else, get a test lamp, put it in reverse and check its lighting up your test lamp, mine was a dodgy earth
