Wondering if anyone has experience with keeping an event vehicle not at home/at work in the open. Probably a stupid question but I want a truck to take on a trailer for peak and dukeries ccv events, and have done for years. Just a basic swb trial truck. Nothing pretty or fancy. Preferably as...

Hi guys, can anyone help me get my head around this one regarding my coolant gauge. 1989 90, straight diesel to 300 TDI conversion, you know the one It's got the right sender though. I've got 14.5v on the green cable supplying power to gauges with engine running? So the green terminal has that...

Are the hinges for sun visors available separately? I've misplaced the two from my passenger visor. I've looked online and can't find any individually so may get some used visors but still they can be steep for just the hinges. Just wondered if it was a standard part in older vehicles and I...

Hi guys, I'm a little stumped. My last lift pump wouldn't prime with the hand pump nor out of the bleed pipe so I have fitted another Delphi today. However they both suck via the hand pump on the bench but neither will suck via the hand pump once on the block. I had to basically bolt the pump...

So driving home last night I had black smoke coming out of the dash. I pulled over hit the isolator switch and grabbed extinguisher. The smoke had already diminished luckily. Looks like the red cable that goes into the illumination switch was the one that went up. Melted a few other bits of...

Looks like a crack? The second injector location is the same. Or is it just how they are?

Alright everyone, I have a 1988 90 and love it to bits. Used the threads on here to sort a lot of electrical stuff and slowly work my way to building my dream vehicle. (Mad trayback/service truck dvla nightmare) Hope I can be even a fraction of the help I’ve received so far. Does anyone know...

Just got a used truck cab and can't for the life of me figure out what these are for. Been through parts books and haven't seen anything similar? Anyone come across them before? Cheers

My DEFender won't start and only gives me a clicking sound from a relay when I turn the key, I have a brake warning light constantly too. Everything cuts out when I turn the ignition. I have a brand new battery, fully charged to rule out the battery as a cause. My best guess was a ground...

Hi guys, Just changed the oil cooler pipes due to a burst hose extension. Went for the ones with the welded section and all went in fine. However as soon as I ran the engine to settle the new oil in I had coolant leaking from the radiator like mad. I have a feeling I could've buggered the...
