I am thinking its a 'one point' situation, but i can't as yet find that damn 'one point' Spent an hour yesterday having a fiddle and seeing what else i could see and or trying plugs etc.. Yesterdays findings gives me this to add to the list When started, the battery light stays on but is...

Cool stuff.. it was worth asking or i'd spend hours figuring out why it was coming on too! Fog comes on when i activate lights too.. like bulb on dash but fog doesnt come on from outside

To add, parking brake lights up as it should and isn't effected. Glow plug light comes on with ignition as it should and isn't then effected. Diff locks doesn't come up on the dash.. could just be a bulb thing. indicator left or right at first click also shows up the trailer light, not sure...

Couldn't find a 'sparky' part so hopefully this will do the job, if not feel free to move ta. Bit of a long follow on this from other issues but i've got me some interesting to say the least dash issues come on! Which almost got worse overnight somehow or more likely i didn't pay enough...

Checked levels.. same journey tonight amd the needle stayed just below half the whole way. However.. fuel guage is pinned to full right now.. do all the guages etc share a common ground somewhere? Might have an issue there and engine actually operating ok. New secondary set of guages are on my...

I will check levels again. I did fill as slowly as i could and through all the bungs as you've suggested amd that leaves my res about half full. I am on thermostat number 2 as well, first one was ok but changed seeing as i was doing everything else. I'll pull the Y hose (brand new so we know...

Right then.. paranoid follow up! I'll pop pics in my buuld thread of it going back together and all that boring stuff you've all seen before rather than post in here. Truck is now back together, but i have potential issues i want to run past all of you as the paranoia has set in already. To...

Well.. i found imgur and just cracked on ha. Just wedged my battery in with some bits of wood as ive nothing to hold it down with. There is holes in the floor so i guess at one time it had a tie down of sorts. Wasnt a problem before as it randomly had 2 batteries in there, one dead one and the...

On an unrelated note, this line coming from the ground side of the battery box, this original and can you tell me what it is? If not.. i'll chase it another time and leave it disconnected. Am just faffing about with a few little jobs while i wait to finish my update and the such. Anyone have the...

Yeah it spat its toys out the pram at me! Im uploading with imgur now.. trouble is i've uploaded via phone and 3 different PC's so putting them all to one pc and i'll go through and attempt to rebuild all the links.

Been a while and we're well behind again! I've had a few other threads on the go, but to cut a really long story short (And some amazing advice from others) - this happened coming home the other day; Coolant all over the floor - you guys were super helpful and initial thoughts was the...

And its freshly painted, happy days. Tick that off your list! I get the hint though, you need to try out your new toy until its empty and re-fills are close. I'll start the orderly queue and be the first in line to offer my truck to your experiment..

Does the bikini top come with a little crotchless number for the underside? :rolleyes:

Just read through, good little read and the truck looks great :-)

It'll be fine, probably just bullies its way through and pushes everything except the buses out of the way :-)

Intercooler is in good nick, at least seems it and fins are all in place etc so leaving that be. Washing it out it held the water with no leaking, i know its not under 15psi at this point but a good indication at this point that its ok jist mucky inside. My rad is the copper/brass jobby with a...

I think it was about 120 all in but i'll conferm tomorrow. In my head i was happy to pay whatever a 'new' one would cost as i appreciate its hands on work too. Normally its same day but they needed to order the cores but i said no worries on that front.. truck is still in peices so bigger fish...

Thanks for that! I've now heard back from the previous owners garage of choice and no cambelt change is on record. So.. looks like that'll need to be done as she is now overdue. Is anyone available by any miracle to help me with this? I can obviously go get the belt and tensioner and stuff but i...

Well... the recommendation of changing the P gasket was spot on. Waterpump actually dry and fine (i have a new one and gasket anyway) but check this little beauty. Thanks again to all who has helped so far! One problem i got was the bottom bolt holding on the casing was super tight so i...

You'll have to work real hard to make your questions 'more stupid' than mine.. Be good to have a bit of competition though as I'm dominating the stupid department at the moment Congrats on buying your new steed :-)
