    Extra Earth to Engine

    The other day before leaving for work I got into the disco and tried to start it but all I got was click. Starter would not turn over.

    Locking wheel nuts

    I am intrigued with the use of the Landrover Locking wheel nuts. Do they prevent wheels being stolen? If they are out there to get at your wheels/tyres then they are likely to have a set of the sockets to undo most of the Landrover wheel nuts. So would it be advisable to replace with a after...

    Fitting EGR Blanking Plate on a TD5 without removing EGR

    First HowTo so be gentle. The EGR Valve lets exhaust gasses back into the inlet. This was done to keep some EU regulation about emissions happy. But the cost is that power and efficiency is reduced. So plenty of TD5 engine owners blank of the EGR. Now I wanted to have the option of getting my...

    Rear light problem...

    I may be talking out of my arse but if you had a short but it wasn't getting a good earth so it was unable to blow the fuse. So when you replaced the earth it was enough the then blow the fuse. Often I have fixed motorbikes just by taking the time to clean electrical connections.

    Wierd heated window problem

    If you look closely at the glass you will see there are thing strips of wire in the glass. They heat up when you turn on the window heating element. On some aftermarket windscreen glass they only put heating elements on only half the window (drivers side). How thick are the strips?

    Folding Mirrors on Door Locking

    The mirrors are controlled by moving the tilt etc switch to centre then move it down once to close, then move down again to open. So I think it not a simple on/off switch as it returns to centre after you open/close it.
