I see from an old thread that you are an archer : compound or longbow

Re your avatar : is that the Dee below Park beat ?

I really do know how stupid I have been ...OK ? The Background : Looked like alternator failure : non-starter : battery flat : in an underground dark secure carpark with pillars hard beside the door. Tried jumpers ...no success ...Ended up putting a new (borrowed )battery in and working in the...

Does anybody know where I can get a front wiring harness for my 1997 2.5d ?

Domino says that you're across the water : what's your location ?

Data Thank you for your wise counsel. Do not stay away too long. You are appreciated.

I've just done what I should have done before posting : a search shows that contact cleaner (aero clean 50 in particular) might do the trick for a complete clean of the board. haven't had it completely out yet : do the wires going into the centre of the board ( as opposed to the multiplug) just...

Thanks for the responses to you all : Looks like a new panel. being Sunday night I have emailed Emmots and Island 4 x 4 neither of whom have the console on their websites. Any suggestions for sourcing one ?

Sad Update on above. All was well and I went on 2 week hols. Returned to find windows/sunroof/mirrors : centre console is dead ! I have opened up but not removed : sprayed WD40 inside and ran a dehumidifier overnight which removed about 1/4 pint of water. Before I look for a new unit does...

The four wheeler obviously doesn't have enough problems for him.

All windows and sunroof has ceased to function ! After dry out all in working order > I have been a lucky and stupid boy.

Almost certainly but all lost in the arrival in warm sunshine, with dogs barking, running to meet car, hosts standing with drinks etc etc.... Car is usually garaged.....occasional beep for sunroofs, keys etc not viewed with alarm.......never again !!!

Drove to friends in the country for dinner : a beautiful warm evening. Arrived just in time : all rush out for dinner in their car : return late : a few drams : stay overnight. Thunder storms overnight : torrential rain. Out to car to get a waterproof jacket..............................had...

It's one of my long outstanding jobs : I've had the pipes sitting here for years : I got the pipes made up with metal compression fittings on them. My intention was to cut the metal pipes leading to the cooler and join metal to metal. I never got the cojones to do it....and now I see my cooler...

I've got a new top half : I won't be getting around to doing it for a couple of months but I'll keep you in mind for the lower plastc strip when I take the top half off.

I've renewed my lower tailgate just this week. Got a top and bottom tailgate from Emmots. I didn't see the point of doing all the work of putting one on and not getting it spot on so had it painted . That cost me £172.00 but the tailend looks brand new. I took Datateks advice and sprayed the...

I have now fitted a new lower tailgate : there were various places where bi-metal reaction had fused stuff including, surprisingly one of the bolts for the rear light cluster. I'm about to scrap the original : anybody needing hinges or the top plastic strip....or anything else off it for that...

Just got it off but snapped a corner of plastic in the process....hopefully not too noticeable. Thanks.

That would inevitable mean water in the oil. Consistently there is none. Not trusting my own judgement I put it down to a good local Idy to check. They say no head/gasket/block problems . I have also looked for signs of water under expansion tank but haven't found any. That's not to say it's...

Sorry Data, just using your reply for stage 2 ! I've now got my tailgate : it's in for painting and I'm preparing for fitting. You need to remove the RH luggage cover support to undo the harness running to the tailgate : it looks like just spring clips holding the plastic luggage cover support...
