seems his computer wont start either. OK, I am also a forgetful poster so just maybe he has sorted it and is as happy as larry, or, he crushed his hippo. I have a list of things to do to mine, bought a pile of bits to do it with, but, my vespa scooter rebuilds and life get in the way. I call it...

Hi Day, I have read your dilemma but sadly cannot offer a solution, only check the source for all of these non working electrics, maybe a dirty connection / or relay malfunction. Try the good old fashioned thing of wiggling all the relay boxes... Let me / us know If you find anything untoward as...

Hi all, just spent a whil re reading through the earlier comments then this last page full. I have not yet done a full filter change except the oil & filter last year on purchase of my Td4. I have all the filters in boxes / packets plus a new shiny delete kit, but its still - "I`ll do it one day...

Hi Dan, I know a Young ? Lady who works in a Colchester B + M store and tells tales of very rude customers taking the current problems out on staff there. But the poor shop & store staff are baring the brunt of us not normal people I expect. We on the coast have a "potato Famine" currently along...

Thanks Andy - you too mate

Photo to follow Not quite today but day before yesterday, fitted at long last my new tow bar Made by "Anchor" no comments please, already had the plug & play electrics socket fitted new some months ago. Todays simple job was to fit a new heavy Duty cigar socket to the rear of centre glove box...

Interesting to say the least. but left wondering how long it will last driving on the road with a locked diff? Its OK in a straight line but corners will put massive strain on drive shaft components. I had 14 years of oval racing where welded diffs were common, the only wrong time I used the...

just to update my wrongs (as if) Finally found my 2 types of moby scooter chargers, 1 mains and 2nd 12 volt powered - BOTH put out 24 volt (variable) not 12 as I wrongly said. Upon finding them both never wanted to work, so fixed the 12 volt one first, the little spring under the glass fuse in...

LOL OK, If we have a waggon, why do yanks call discoveries TRUCKS.. or do i miss something In translation.. (think it may be something to do with tax avoidance once in the USA..)

Hi Nodge68 and thanks. just had a hour before dark (and cold) looking through my hippo, yes I found the purple and earth power feed under the centre cubby hole noting the blanking plate for rear accessories / cigar socket+ Now I cant yet find paper work or 12 volt moby scooter charger so dont...

Hi RangeRoller, a very late reply with a photo I just found

WOW thanks guys both. all being well I`ll look at the centre consul tomorrow now, have seen 4 phillips type screws holding the "top" on ? Be nice If I can find the supply source I need eh.. Today was taken up taking my "little boy" my son aged 50 - lol to Colchester Hospital for his check up...

Many thanks Andyfreelandy, think i had better firstly check the requirements on the 12 v moby scooter needs, I might be causing trouble If I need 10 AMP or more but i know the charger charges 2 12 volt circuits for the supply in the moby scooter. (Ohh just thought the charger would make a nice...

very true, I had non standard but same sized wheels and tyres and it would go almost anywhere and did, the better MPG I got on my old 3 door Disco 1 was by adding lots of fresh cooking oil to the tank and a splash of unleaded in the winter, went miles further bless it. had it 10 years but it had...

Firstly, good afternoon all, secondly it seems I`m still alive (just here to annoy people as my late wife said) but... I been wondering, as I need a good sourced live feed into the rear of my "estate" TD4, and I have got the plugged in wiring for the towing socket, does someone more clevererer...

Thanks for that info Devilish. I can only comment on what my son tells me, then its only what he reads of others, so wondering if one gets bad results would we read about it/ Hey Ho, anyway, when the "Lad" (hes 50) gets one and I get roped into fitting it, maybe an update in the future. life...

I sat thinking If I need a non working rear diff recently also.. but then what happens If the madness of me goes and buys all the missing parts needed for 4 wheel drive.. OH NO lol. I had a very shiny rover 75 a few years ago, done a head off and rebuild after taking out its LPG in its entirety...

Something i have promised my black hippo for the last 2 weeks, but keep waiting for a non rainy day. the country lanes round our way seem to have new housing going up with mud covered lorries covering the roads and my car also, but I did clean my windows and outside mirrors the other day.. Soon...

Fanks Nodge68, nowadys I dont really "go fast" but will just say I set my decent satnav to shout at me If i`m over 10% of posted speed limits, but its always nagging me while out. I`ll post a photo of me something like - Heres one I done earlier type of thing (was some years ago now) .. Hope it...

Just reading through here, but thats good advice even on older petrol vehicles, and on MOT day a nice blast for some miles before arriving in time for the MOT with a still hot engine.. One story from years ago over a mondeo 2 litre Ghia petrol, (a working MINICAB) done my blast as above but...
