You may be able to look in under the fuse cover. undo the two 1/4 turn screws under the steering column, and you should see the mechanism on the side of the heater assembly. either the wire has come out, or the screw holding the whole lot together has become loose and given up

300tdi's always over cool, and the only reason you dont get as much heat at idle, is because the water pump is running fairly slowly, when you rev it, the flow will increase. You are correct though, the engine is massively overcooled, thats why many people add electric fans, to get better...

I have good reason to have **** all confidence in mine, well until i get my hands on it! I got trapped in a river on the 1st and within 2 minutes of standing, she hydraulicd. the water was fairly deep, flowing over the top of the bonnet but i sure as hell didnt expect it to go so fast! Ah well...

I played around with my pump a while ago, gave me a lovely boost in power. I tell you though, i did an oil change the other day and used some forte engine flush, i always use engine flush on badly serviced vehicles. My goodness me, it pulls like a bloody train now! And to make it even better...

I would take that out unless you are doing alot of wading, as my mate found out, silt and crap can build up and damage your clutch plate!

If its a late one, then you wont have a spider anyway, mine is controlled by the alarm ecu and the dds immobiliser on the back of the pump. It should work fine though

pretty sure its a 30something mm bolt for the gearbox, the transfer box possibly has a 3/8'' drive drain plug though. cant remember, mine hasnt had a gear oil change in a while, she is due one!

Try putting the centre difflock in? If it goes then, its probably a halfshaft or diff!

That clip is a pain in the arse! It took some getting out, but i got mine out, replaced the bearing, and found that the bearing was slack on the tensioner arm. I shimmed mine up with a drinks can and now it doesnt squeel at all, even after being under a river for 5 odd hours!

I think the OP meant the best place to mount the camera? I would take inspiration from our disco friend Auf, look at this post Clicky

Cor bugger you have spent some time there! I really like the LED's in the spots, great look to them! I really like the D2 lights aswell, alot of thought has gone into them. if i wasnt spending the rest of my holiday removing water from my engine and cabin, i would probably be playing with LED's...

Ive been thinking about ways of having marker lights in my roof lights (not yet fitted!) Why i never thought of that is beyond me, what a simple but clever idea! Looking forward to seeing the results...

Im not worried about the task itself, im an electrician! I just never get the flippin chance!

did you change all 5 watts linkage bushes? Also, although you changed the anti roll bar drop links, it would be worth sliding under and having a good tug in them again, its not unknown for new ones to becone loose quickly.

Well, it has yet to be installed, but this little beastie will control all of my lights and compressor etc. It is what is used in police vehicles and isnt a cheap little setup, but very good to control lighting circuits! Now i need to wire the sodding thing in! Cheers 'en!

You know what follows, PICS! Sounds a lovely girl though

I guess youve tried 6 sided sockets rather than multispline?

Take a loom at this, i am going to get one when i have a bit of cash Dash Pods And here it is in a vehicle Green TD5

Look on the VIN plate, located on the slam panel under the bonnet. It should have some rev wieghts and a box that says paint. there should be a stamped number, this is you paint code. Google that and it should give you the colour. Or give the code to a mixer, and they will get it made

Cheers for the help guys, went down to the local suppliers and picked up some new blubs. All sorted and i can see which switch does what!
