After fixing that problem it turns out my rear sidelight turns off when I press my brakes, the rear light has seen better days so I've ordered a new genuine replacement and I'll give the earth a clean, here's hoping.

I had some spare wire in the garage and hooked the headlight up direct to the battery and it sprung into life :) I just need to buy some proper cable to do the job now, I'm going to Earth from the Common Earth point on the wing direct to the battery, What size of wire do I need?

Thanks, will let you know how I get on tomorrow, that's if I can find some wire on a Sunday

Ah, I might just run a length of wire direct from the bulb to the battery just to see if that fixes it, if it does I'll make a permanent earth from the wing to the battery. Sadly I'm at work today so can't test till tomorrow. What gage of wire should I use

I'm not to sure what the H4 connector is mine is an 1985 2.5na. The earth cable just goes to a bolt on each wing.

Earthing just the headlight to the battery?

I've having a little Issue with my drivers side headlight and that it is very dull, It's a brand new headlight, new side light, new Side and front indicator. When I turn my sidelights on the sidelights come on as expected with no voltage getting to the headlight as expected. When I turn on...

What's the correct route?

Heya lads, I replaced my old speedo cable after it snapped and the needle on the speedometer is now a little jumpy but calms down when it gets faster, any ideas what's causing it, I had 2 new speedo cables and both are doing the same. There's no movement on the transfer box end or the other...

Cool beans, all on now and it's a lot tighter with just a little bit of movement :)

I'm having a little trouble remembering which way these clips go, as when I put them on there is a lot of movement in the expander. Which one do I put on first? Or I put then on this way but sadly with a lot of movement.

That's what happened to my tank when I took it off and cleaned it up :)

Silly Q but what is end float, movement?

The oil is stinking. Is there anything worth checking in the box, I read that there is a bearing also that can go, not sure how to check it tho.

Hehe, I've not drove it since I bought it last march :) it requiring a lot of work for me to even think of putting it in for a MOT Last owner didn't maintain it.

Woohoo, got the little devil out :) Took the read output shaft off and was easy after that, some of the cog is damaged. Now I'm thinking Maintemance while it's off, There is a little bit of movement in the shaft and can wiggle it by half an inch, so I'm thinking it's best changing the...

I drained the box and took off the rear prop, I just want to ask some questions first, I presume I take this big bolt off, I think it's a 32mm one but I'll have a search and find out the correct size. Do I then remove these bolts, I think there was 4 of them. Does the box just separate...

Do I need to drain the box?

I've had a google and seen mentions of a front and a rear output shaft, do I just need to remove the rear one? If so is that removed by removing the bolts in the pic to the left.

A wee picture.
