    Painting over Hamerite Direct to Galv paint?

    lol. Thanks for the advise guys. ;) I have it on good authority from Halfords :rolleyes: that i can paint over it using any gloss paint so long as it isn't an aerosole. So i'll do a test strip somewhere and let you know! Pughy.

    Painting over Hamerite Direct to Galv paint?

    Hi guys n gals. I have painted my Ifor Williams canopy with black Hamerite direct to galv paint and it's stuck really well! But i'm not 100% happy with the way it all looks and was wondering if i got some normal gloss paint but in a colour very close to Bonatti grey (as the rest of the...

    X-Eng's X-Lite Azimuth or X-Lite bulbs filling with water

    Hi. I've done exactly the same with mine. Been on the landy now for 4 months and no probs. but tbh they cost £2 each and take a minute to fit so no biggy if they do go. They give a nice crisp, white light that hasn't got a focal point. So no bright spot in center of beam and no dim edges...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Brakes have been squeeling like a pig for a week. So tonight i took the rear pads out to find that the shims were bits of biscuit tin lid which were taped to the pads. Now i'm no mechanic but something tells me that this was a bodge when they were replaced 2 years ago. To be fair though, they...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Lol. No idea. No labels or stamps on it? Hopefully this one will last longer. I think the seal behind the passenger side vent is damaged and water maybe getting into the motor. I never use the vents so will probably seal em up permanently to be safe. ;)

    Building myself a Raptor style centre consol!

    Hi. Just a quick observation. With the 12v socket and the usb sockets at the top. Won't the cables of things that are plugged in hang down across the switches and get in the way? Just a thought.

    Help please. Problem with TD5 accellarator?

    Hi. I checked the snorkle and pipes today and where the pipe joins onto the bit that bolts to the wing there was a gap. Question: is there a sensor in the air intake that detects water and cuts the throttle to prevent damage to the engine?

    Help please. Problem with TD5 accellarator?

    Well. I spent two hours checking under the landy on Sunday and couldn't see anything untoward! No chaffing, no knicks or kinks, nothing!! But it must have all dried out because it is driving perfectly now! So, so long as i stay away from water until it goes in for a service and MOT next month...

    Td5 weak/ stalls when towing - gutless!

    Hi. My td5 was lacking in power whilst towing too. Turned out it was the catalitic convertor clogged up. Replaced it with a stainless straight through pipe and it pulls like a dream now! Hope you get it sorted. Pughy.

    Help please. Problem with TD5 accellarator?

    Ooh. Ok. But why would the 5v feed be missing? Water shorting it out somewhere?

    Help please. Problem with TD5 accellarator?

    Hi. A couple of years ago i went through a ford which was about a foot deep. About 30mins later the engine management light came on and the accellerator pedel stopped working. The engine ticked over ok. So I turned the engine off and on again and it worked ok for a little while but i had to keep...
