Yes they light up when blown, the led Is effectively connected between the two pins of the fuse. When the fuse is intact both sides of the led are at 12volts so it does not light. When the fuse blows if the rest of the circuit is intact it provides a path to earth for the led to illuminate, this...

Well there's every chance I'll be a bit after ten, and I live the closest to the meeting point!

Sounds good to me, see you there

I'm definitely up for it, but I have no routes

Voltage can easily be stepped up, LEDs like that are normally run from a constant current source so the voltage is dependant on the load which is opposite to a regular constant voltage source where the current is dependant on the load.

She lives! Think the fact the wheel bearing had completely collapsed on that side hasn't helped matters, but the offside brake was in pretty much the same state. So now we have new discs, pads, calipers and wheel bearings both sides.

Those titanium coated bits are a con, they have the thinnest coating possible on them which scratches off the moment it hits the workpiece. A properly sharpened hss bit will do just as well, or else get a set of cobalt steel drill bits.

Somehow one of the pads has worn away to the metal but the other pad has a good 1/4inch left on it. So the rubbing noise was the dead pad carving grooves in the disk!

I've diagnosed the brake issue and bought the parts to fix it, just need an extra day sometime between Saturday and Sunday to do it.

I should be around on Monday I think, assuming I have time to deal with the wheel bearing and do something with the rear brakes before then.

Thanks for the warning mr Trewey. i think my front bumper should be up to the challenge though, 'twas made by our mr Pressbrake so I reckon it'll stop a few of them pesky dragons. The tat I have to bought is some broken old stage lighting kit to fix up and sell to fund more landrover parts.

I'll be heading to Plymouth in the 90 on Tuesday to collect some tat I bought on eBay. I'd be happy help out if anyone needs anything taking down that way. I'll have less room on the way back but can bring anything back up this way if there's room.

The snow just ain't settling around here at the moment, don't know about bockets area though. I may be up for it though if you do go.

Thanks guys for a good day out, it was great to meet some new people. So how many of you got to play the 'whats that new noise' game on their journeys home? or was it just me? I've now got a lovely rhythmic drumming sound whilst braking from the offside front wheel coupled with a clonk from...

Just heard I may have to work tomorrow to cover for a mate. I'm waiting to hear for definite at the moment.

I'm coming, took all day to get the landy near enough ready. Just not sure where we're meeting?

Sounds good. So are we going to bockets farm or Basingstoke on the third? And when is the other one happening?

I'm in for the 3rd!
