    What colour is my MOD 90?

    There are too many variations of "military" greens to give a true answer. Look at this, and all of the shades you can get too! #6b8e23 Color Hex Olive Drab Mine came from an acrylic based "drab olive green" Quick search turned up this lot: Military Vehicle Paint - Home Page ..and...

    Rear heated windscreen

    Well, if you do check the sealing strip too: WINDSCREEN SEAL 2.5 METRES 78159. .. and remove as best you can all the ****ty stuff left behind, they seem to stick to all the bits you want to be clean. ;)

    Rear heated windscreen

    I was thinking of the paint on conductor too, but then thought, can it really carry the power (it's on a 10A fuse). I saw this stuff too: "Conductive Wire Glue/Paint ", and thought the same, can it handle amps? Also thought about using the above glue and fixing some 1mm copper wire across...

    Take the low power from the same ignition switched White cable I suggest? Browns should be straight from the battery, but why risk flattening the battery or over cooking the heaters if you get a short or summat?

    Is this any good: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f55/19j-glow-plug-wiring-183504.html I remember that I agree with the 10A A sensible diagram that I have from a later model shows a 100A fuse to the glow plugs, 6mm cable to the relay and then 2.5mm cable to the plugs (wired in parallel)...

    90 front wiper wobbles, backlash, random, no park, oversweep - solved at last

    Issue When I bought the 90 the front wipers did not work very well, there was lots of backlash; you could move both wipers by hand through a large arc. When the column switch was used there seemed to be total random wiping action, some stuttering, some over sweep (if the blades had not...

    Does the relay make the "tock" sound when the dipped lights turned on? Tried re-seating the relay?

    no headlights

    Are the cables actually attached to the switch? I only ask 'cos guess what happened to me Monday? No side or tail lamps - dipped & full beam = OK. Turned out that some PO had made a mess of soldering on the switch & the red cable had broken off and was flopping loose. So I re-made up...

    New seats for the 90 to keep wife happy

    Well, the seats in there are a tad worn, and she says too uncomfortable. Complains about (most things really) but also seat height & thigh support (what!). So in the interests of harmony - give me a clue as what to buy. I can see a set of expensive Exmoor's and fittings coming my way...

    The temp gauge should be a single feed from the engine thermostat The fuel gauge should be a similar feed from the tank. By "keeping gowing up and down" - what conditions exactly do the dials exhibit? Tubes is right. If it is an earth problem to the dials then they (the dials) could be all...
