I popped all the festoon ones out without paying too much heed and they were all 39mm. It wasn't until I came to fit the new rears that I noticed they were a tad long but still fitted and made good electrical contact. Someone before me must have...

I bought some of these that provide a much nicer light. Instead of the three LED dots there are a dozen smaller ones that give a more even light. You need a 39mm for the front & 36mm for each side at the rear.

I had a tensioner that had a slight bend in the mounting plate once, brand new part but can't remember the make, too long ago, like 20yrs maybe.

Yeah, they are expensive for what is basically a coil of ribbon cable, I had to replace mine £138+vat at the time, I think they're over £200 now, never seen one second hand though, it had a piece of tape on it that had printed on it "do Not...

I've heard of a thing called a clockspring? Where is that located? Is it worth trying to get that off for a spare whilst grabbing the wood wheel?

That works on my Defender but was fruitless on the 38 but.....I didn't persevere I admit, after spotting it wasn't necessary for a button decal refurb. If I do manage to get this wood wheel it's going to need a full refurb and the leather dyed...

A bit of shaking about and a good pull got both the good one off my scrapper and the knackered one off the project car.

Might have purchased a wood/leather steering wheel for my dhse. In the past I've stripped my wheel down to refurb the buttons but after removing the big nut I couldn't get the wheel off the splines. I then realised that the wheel hasn't got to...

Green P38 just passed MOT for another year with no advisories :):):)
