    What's the bestestest wiper blades to get?

    I think tbh they wont fair well on a flat screen they need the curve to help them sit better otherwise it will just be the end of the blades with the force but nowt in the middle. If you get a halfrauds trade card you can get a fair few £££ of bosch blades ;)

    Wiring up roof spot lights

    Thats when you want 2 x Rear work lamps ;) What do you want from the 6 spots??? BTW any spots lamps not wired into the high beam circuit require a warning lamp, Easy way is to use a Illuminated switch,

    diy box trailer

    Yeah I meant the chassis so you should be kool. Not sure if Trailers have Unladen weights on their tally plates but if so you might need yours adjusted once built as its obviously going to be slightly more with more metal.

    why dont they buzz ?

    Buzzer and or Light, Your trailer light should flash, easy way to check is to switch the bulb with one that is known to work then go from there as its not an easy reason for the light not to work, Are your trailer light working correctly and are the contacts clean and secure??

    diy box trailer

    Will you be using an other trailer as a base for it, If not I doubt it would be economical to do it as trailer building regs have taken a hiding recently so its alot more £££ to build a trailer your self, How ever if you can find a good base try people like MAYPOLE, ERIND ect who make trailers...

    Weed / Creasote sprayer for Gearbox oils ??????

    Well did it today and the only issue I had is wastage as you lose a couple 100mls, even the 80/90EP oil went ok I just stuck the trigger to ON and went and cleaned up the plugs then lay under the landy till it started dripping. Rather impressed.
