    spotlight wiring - where does stuff go?!

    hi again everyone, my dad's helped me and we've sorted everything but the earths for the spots which should be easy enough and the wire going from the relay to the main beam. as there's barely any length from where the wire comes out of the bundle of other wires, it'll be impossible to split...

    spotlight wiring - where does stuff go?!

    if i wanted to do both, could i splice in a switch which would kill them when i wanted but they'd only come on with main beam?

    spotlight wiring - where does stuff go?!

    yeah, i thought about doing them to a switch but isn't it against the law? i'd prefer it that way tbh and yeah, i'd best wait till my dad has half an hour so he can talk me through it, no point frying the wiring is there

    spotlight wiring - where does stuff go?!

    ok, thanks for the tips! re the main beam feed, should i take one from each headlight wire and splice them into one to go into the relay? also, the spotlights are second hand and the wires to them have been cut off close to the case. there is one black and red. I am assuming black is earth...

    spotlight wiring - relay

    Hi everyone, Got myself some spotlights and wandered to the garage asking for a 30amp reay, he gave me one, i gave him a fiver and off i went. I've just realised it might not be right, its an actual land rover relay, but says "flasher" on it, and the pins and numbered 49a, 49, C2 and 31. Will...

    power loss, especially on hills, stalls

    ok cheers fellas :) i'll ask him if it'd been sitting around long but he gets his tank topped up every few months i think. i'm gonna get a new fuel filter as it's due for a change so i'll check that when it comes. is the best course of action to brim it with some of BP's finest wallet-cleaner?

    power loss, especially on hills, stalls

    hi everyone, since yesterday afternoon my 300tdi defender has been losing power. it barely moves going up hills but will go down them fine and isn't too bad on straights, but is lumpy, feels like there are air bubbles or something in the fuel supply. I had the timing belt changed about 350...

    wheel painting - how much paint?

    I'm going to paint my white steel wheels and I wondered how much paint I would use? I'm sure someone will have done this before. I plan to put a couple of coats on each wheel and I've already ordered 400ml, will this be enough? thanks if you can help

    feeble rear wiper

    Hi all! My rear wiper doesn't clear the water off the screen as it isn't pressing down hard enough, at the edges it does but there's a big gap in the middle where it kind of spreads the water around. I wondered if anyone knew how to tighten or adjust the arm or the blade so that the blade's...
