you could look at this see if it helps. my van is older so does not have this feature so i cant take a look dim dip help

ok. looks like you have the normal dim-dip system stops you driving round with no headlights on. to check this 1. With the engine running, switch on the sidelights - you hould have sidelights on and dipped beam on at reduced power 2. Leave the lights switched to sidelights and turn off the...

what light switch have you got? do you not just push the stalk forward one click for side lights and then another click for headlights aswell

as often as not you will have to take the "rod" off the vehicle to get the ball joints out. change all 3 and use copper slip on the threads when putting them back in. before you take them out measure the distances between the ball joints and count how many turns it takes to remove them so you...

no probs

sounds like you need to get underneath and have a look my rear one was fine when i did the front but a month later was done for. where in west yorks are you i'm in bradford if your nearby and not sure what to look for. got my MOT today so shouldn't need to lift the bonnet or look underneath for...

i used ply wood and fitted some speakers in

lucky man. well done on the fix (thats what macgyver would have done). just done my rear prop, went for MOT and it was loose at both ends (like me after a night out) but i was totally un-aware as had checked it a month ago when i had to do the front UJ's and all was well. he asked if i'd heard...

looking good. nothing a bit of buffing and some gorilla tape cant sort. i asked my mate about the 24v thing, he's a major in the REME and he says Quote "All vehicles are 24v and have been since about 96 - if you are looking at ex military, there may be some old defenders/SIII which are 12v. It...

when i was an army engineer the lightweights and radio (FFR) landies were the 24v the rest were 12 but this was 14 years ago things may have changed

the adventure is in the journey not the arrival. i do sometimes wonder if it will get me some where, even just a few miles away, but it always does. the one i have now has been reliable with only a few issues that were easily fixed which were age related. so do i trust it? not really. will i...

i had a leak from the lift pump on my now deceased disco. threw fluids out like a mad womans s**t. see what needs topping up if your oils a good then the chances are its diesel, prob from your injectors washers. it it is oil then steam clean the engine and take a good look

when i got water in mine i did as you did but also stuck my hand in through the top where the sender is and wiped it out with an old thermal top (a good soaking up rag) that sorted it for me dont know what else to suggest

i assume you changed the filter and purged lines. i have an in line marine filter before my lift pump that allows me to see if there is any water in my home brewed fuel. they only cost a few quid and are simple to fit.
