I had almost this exact same issue not so long ago, exacerbated when towing.
I replaced my drop arm ball joint, which impoved it, but was still getting a strange feeling through the steering going into corners hard or towing, I checked...
Drop arm balljoint done. Absolute piece of cake of a job, especially when you've got the right tools. Dunno what all the faff is about lol. New panhard rod bushes pressed in and that'll be going on tonight. The Febi ones are great quality and...
ah all sorted thanks guys.
i undid one of the nuts holding the switch on and out popped a nipple :)) bit of wd40 now lights on when it should be and off when not.
Thanks very much for the help
Probably need a new tank. They are rust traps.

That is why I have a low amp fused bypass on mine. Enough to keep things powered, radio, tracker, alarm etc, but as soon as you turn the ignition on and the glow plug tray kicks in the fuse will blow! You just need something similar for the alarm...
You will need a lot of photos for people.
Engine 300tdi(take a photo of the passenger side of the engine,this will confirm if turbo still fitted)
Take a photo of the engine mounts on chassis & engine
Unsure what make that chassis is...
Yeah that's mine in the video. Everything else is solid besides that and when id taken it off the rubber had become detached. No idea what's going on but I've ordered a poly set and I've also managed to get a febi set from my local motor place...
For some reason this came into my head..... My mate sold a boat & trailer to a lad who came via the ferry as a foot passenger, he told my mate to launch the boat with the trailer ratchet strapped onto it & off he went 🤣 🤣
Look fo a number plate. This can be checked quickly in dvla we site.
Vin plate will be around 3”x3”as the bulkhead looks stripped it could be with these parts.
They are different to each other
Good luck.
