Yes just like that but with a 30 amp fuse between battery and relay.

So you want to convert an off road capable car into an off road capable car...... :vb-groan:

Here are some pictures. A little background, I recently did an oil change and put in Rotella 15W40 and a new filter. I know some people run mineral oil in these engines and I couldn't source any locally and wanted to make sure I got some fresh...

The best way to is to download a wiring diagram for that vehicle and for the correct number of functions possibly (10 or 16) plus some seats are also cooled as well. So see the attached link from a recent thread on how to get the diagrams and a...

Got it back in January mate with no coolant issues. Only issues arises over the last few days :(

I think, if you're a rivet counter, those ones are to be painted before riveting. Check, as I'm not sure, and can't be bothered to look it up now.

Yeah it looks like that risoline stuff unfortunately, would a full cleanse of the system and refill get rid of this?

Thanks mate, will have a look for this. I’ll be changing water pump and thermostat on weekend, think I should bite the bullet and buy hoses too now haha

Lucky there, my '87 Vogue had LR developed anti-roll bars retro-fitted by one of it's two previous owners, sacrificing (allegedly) only half-an-inch of suspension travel, for those few owners that would have actually ventured off-road ;)

I actually wondered what that was, so thanks for clarifying. I vote even more for it to kept now!

Will it make a difference as I haven’t done anything to the earths, my front left indicator wasn’t working so I wired it in with the back left and then my problems started?

Unfortunately the only way I managed to get a response was to threaten legal action via the bank. I didn't like doing it but he was taking the ****. Never been back.

I got a "free" brand new delongi (spelling) dehumidifier, I left it under my boat as the lad was shampooing the carpets & interior of my boat, he was cursing me as it weighs 35kg & had to get it up a ladder & into the boat. Apparently its an air...

Hope everyone is doing good. Please advise on coolant loss on this 300Tdi Engine. There is no coolant mix in the Engine oil and it does not misfire. P Gasket was replaced about 300 miles ago and there is no sign of coolant leak there. In the...

You dont need to understand this as you only weld rusty old donkeys 🤣🤣

The battery date is stamped on the negative post in the format described by Nodge. If the above advice does not help, you could try removing one relay at a time to rule out each circuit. It can be time consuming but effective. As an aside have...

I would assume that if you remove the Driver side lower panel the trim would come off similar to that on the glovebox door. But would it not be easier to try and refurb what's already on ?

It’s worth double the asking if it’s as it’s claimed but I don’t actually believe any are rust free. Maybe I’m a pessimist. I’d still say 2k cash though 😂

Redo the earths should help

Snap his hand off!!

You mean the filler plug on the side of the rear? Well yep, mebbe! Mine is at the back, but no reason why not. Mine runs fine on it, in fact better than on petrol. :) :) :)

So, I had asked W to ring her credit card peeps about this money paid in error to Axa-Schengen. It took her two gos as shte first eejit just went through a mountain of security poop and then cut her off. But the 2nd guy was decent, saw the...

OK, I found this and am not much the wiser! https://www.damatech.com/en/Prehardened-steel/Hardox/Hardox-Welding

My full beams are bringing on brake lights along with fog light and full beam, dipped beam isn’t doing anything, need help urgently as I’m dying to fix it

Well it would be rude not to spend some time in the garage on my day off, its amazing the amount of things getting crossed off the needs fitting list, exhaust, rear shocks, handbrake shoes and drum, brake lines, front calipers, clutch pedal box...

Fab. My mate has a spray business so painting not an issue. Just the fitting to sort. 👍

I had a RRC it would be better to spend the money on re-building as standard best and most reliable vehicle I have ever had appart from a bit of roll at speed round corners

Already fitted by the look of photo 1
