Hi All At a bit of a loss, hoping you can help with me new noise. Starts over at 20/30mph, worse when warmed up. Sounds like a wheel bearing running dry. Feels like front end. No difference when coasting out of gear with clutch down or braking. Worse when turning left...

Well, my first attempt at side exit eggsauce failed after about two months. This was partly die to the flexi pipe I bought was not very good quality and party because of a very tight bend that over stressed it. Version two is currently in the oven at 250 degrees for about half an hour...

Bugger, seem to have lost power to the near side rear light (red and black). Break light is fine (purple and green). Only found out when testing the trailer socket, which has lost power to the associated 7 pin (Black) (factory wired, just a new socket by me a while ago (pre-last MOT!)...

Just done me side exit eggsauce. Will post pic soon. But, basically just took off back box section and ran flexi pipe from the end of the centre section over top of chassis, out the panel behind the rear wheel. Reused both ends of the rear section on each end of the flexi pipe. Used flexi...

Have an odd issue with some new to me old Hella Rallye spot lamps. I have power and earth at the feed wires, and two wires coming off the bulb holder (see below). When I connect the lamps earth wire I loose earth and the lamp does not light? Tried switching wires over too as there is no...

Im bored. Thinking about reorganising my tool box:) Is the 9/16th for the prop bolts the only imperial I need to keep in the box or are there some other odd imperials lurking elsewhere? (1995 300tdi Defender by the way) Cheers:banana:

Evenin all:) Just bought me a caravan for off roading weekends :) Needs a bit of work:( Anyway, done a bunch of searching but cant find answer to what kit I should use to add a 12S lead to the Defender to charge the leisure battery on the caravan. Seems to be a few different types of...

Just done about 100 miles in the torrential rain. Just as I pulled off the motorway my wipers failed:eek: All fuses ok. Relay clicking :confused: Started to limp home last couple of miles on a side road, hit a bump and hey presto wipers back?? :) I was running them at mental speed after I...

Hi All Thinking of fitting a single brake light above me fender rear door. Been mighty foggy round here and gets real dark. Can find what I want by searchin, so any top tips for a light and best way to wire it in? Cheers:)

Well, long story short, brake pedal slowly sinking to floor. loosing loads of fluid. Couldn't spot leak. that'll be the master cylinder seals gone me thinks. Off to the garage with you (daily driver, cant risk stripping it in the street and finding I need parts I cant now drive to collect)...

The old girl just spewed half the power steering fluid over the engine bay. Only looked under bonnet because the steering started groaning. Normal road driving, not a long drive, about 20 miles.:( What do you think caused this?

Folks, just bought three of these on eblag and I'm going to fit them in the cig lighter/rear wiper plate to run me toys. I'm planning on taking the existing feed and earth from the cig lighter and just connect to all three sockets, probably with an extra in line fuse for safety. Currently...

Well, failed MOT:mad: Failed on three out of four ARB joints. They were completely shot to be fair. What a complete B*stard to get off and only managed the rears so far. Lashings of plus gas but still needed all my stength on a breaker bar and tiny fractions of turns all the way. Ended up...

Morning All Oh dear, new noise, think it's gearbox. I will try and describe: When comming off the power, still in gear, any gear, sound like a playing card in a bicycle wheel (remember that!) only very dull, low pitched and kind of muffled. Frequency drops with reducing speed. If I dip...

Hi Folks I'm getting peed off with all my exessory sockets and extensions, so was thinking about fitting say three of these in the space in the pannel next to the original cigarette lighter (replacing this as well). Any thoughts/tips? Thought I would just splice the existing fag lighter...
