I've discovered the cause of my Gremlins with my lights.

Looks like I need to replace the Glass Fuse Holders with some Blade Fuse Holders

Only issue is that I don't have the ratings sheet on the back of the fuse panel cover. Instead I have some white sticky labels and the writing is that faded I can't make it out. I seem to have a lot of 25A fuses and I'm guessing they might be a bit higher than what should be there.

If anyone has a Pic of what they should be or can point me in the direction of where to find the info, that'd be great. It's a 1989 90 2.5TDI

Cheers

This is what mine says...

M took the fender for its MOT to day, Tester asked why M wanted a 26yr old tractor (he remembered her from yesterday with the L322) then proceeded to ask if it was for sale, errr NO:rolleyes:. We usually get a couple of offers to buy every year.
He said its solid and passed with flying colours:D.

Finally managed to fit LED lights into the dash last night (after struggling with my wife’s tweezers to get the speedo bulbs in). Lots of swearing, but looks good.

I’m regretting adding an LED bulb to the interior light. It’s just too white/bright compared to the original orange/warm glow. I’ll probably change that back.

Today’s job has been taken off and applying primer to one of the door cards. Queue lots of huffing when I couldn’t get the clip off of window winder mechanism!

Aiming to start respraying tomorrow.
 
Probably going to be bolted to the engine.
I've not decided where I'm putting it yet, nor how it will actually mount. There is nothing there to cable tie it to.
On the inner wing is a good place, just need to make sure your pipe fits.
If you bolt to engine you need another bracket.
(You also need 4 of the rubber cotton reels to stop vibrations)

Where ever I bolt it, I'll still need another strap.;)
A flat plate bolted to the air-con compressor mount points on the Disco engine would be easy.
I do have new rubber damper mounts.

Just looked through spares…. Nothing…
Now I know I had 1 of them brackets(onto the engine) somewhere but the shed is a bomb site at the moment.
Unsure where they bolt to,going by the attached looks like head bolts?

nothing for a while as busy in work but hopefully today I'll sort the non-working rear lights (probably fuse related? I have more moddern 'blade' fuseholders to replace the glass torpedo things) and maybe it's ready for mot?

Mrs has been out in it. Started up ok,wipers worked & horn worked.

I drove it later no horn again.. oh well
Mrs is out again tommorow in it. I keep saying the S1 needs to go for a run out.
 
It drove out this morning… number plate light not working(it has 2 bulbs so may be faulty, will try a polite tap) when the mrs appears back home tonight
 
Drove the 90 to the Newbury sale. It had a decent run, around 110 mile round trip. A sidelight bulb has failed and I topped up the brake fluid. I bought a couple of the rubber clamps to hold tools in the back of the 90. I won’t type the name of these clamps as it sounds dodgy and a mis-type in google could cause some issues… :eek:o_O
