Perhaps a stupid idea but is your battery OK - cold spell and not enough oomph to fire the actuators? Or, in a similar vein have any terminals in the system got wet / corroded and are now robbing voltage?

I think spots are meant to be wired via a dash switch so that you can opt whether the come on with full beam.

I've had exactly this - measure the voltage going to the bulb, you'll probably find a strange value quite a bit lower than 12V and when you put a load on it drops lower - so low the bulb won't ignite. Trace your wiring through and find a poor connection - mine was at the fuse box, lots of blue...

Hi Robbie - I used one of these - allows you to keep the pressure switch and install a pressure gauge. It's quite tight and fiddly to get in on a TD5 but it does work. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sensor-Sender-Adapter-For-Oil-Temp-Oil-Pressure-Gauge-Meter-/331944474307

Found on Thingiverse some useful files for commonly broken bits such as door knobs and door card pins that are easy to print with a 3D printer. Does anyone know of any other files for other parts around - it would be nice if LandyZone could become a repository for 3D printer part files - it's...

Here it is !

Hi, I posted up how I did it on a previous post - managed to get it all working off the alarm fob - its worked beautifully ever since - I'll look for the link now which also tells you where to get the key bits you need to solder into the alarm box

First thing I did to mine after getting it having seen the Teisbaek TV guys on YouTube fit one and rave about it. Really good modernising piece if kit. One of the pins came out of mine - emailed the company and they sent a new one by return FOC - great service too. I'd certainly recommend it to...

I think I have the same as mentioned in the above post - Exmoor trim with removable seat base with headrest on a single stalk. Not the prettiest in their stretchy cloth but certainly too comfortable to replace. Installed heated seat kit too which was well worth doing and very easy. Key thing in...

Saw this before which explains all well in the thread

I fitted one of these kits...

I have one of the sealey guns too and compressor - its a good bit of kit. Taking recommendations from previous posts on this site I opted for Dinitrol on the outside surfaces of the chassis (not sticky! - VIP) and Waxoyl on the inside. Someone recommended starting the inside treatment with...

No other way than to adapt it I'm afraid. I had exactly this problem with my tow bar after fitting a new rear cross member - wish now I had refitted it as an additional guide to where the cross member should be before welding it on. Ended up filing holes into slots with a file in very thick...

This guy says its normal and fine:

Looks like a nice bit of kit - can't think why is should run hot if properly installed but clearly others have had the same problem as you: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/218852-help-me-understand-dual-battery-solenoid.html Thinking of doing this myself so would be interested in your...

And the solution was ........... ?

Mines just back on the road after doing the job (spent way more than 3 hours - 3 weeks). If you are a TD5 then the worst bit is getting the fuel tank out. I reverted to this site for a lot of assistance. Basically on a TD5 the tank is dropped in from above - you can get it out from below but it...

It’s still in the box - I’ll look into postage and post back up if plausible. Never fitted because it was incorrectly described where I bought it from - I’ve got a TD5 90 - it’s rear window has rounded bottom edges. I might be at Gaydon or /and Malvern Landuy events in the weeks ahead - could...

At last I've got enough posts to do this in the correct section. I have a new 'still-in-box' heated rear window with high level brake light. It looks like this https://www.sp-4x4.com/CQB101560_HEATED_DEFENDER_GLASS_p/cqb101560.htm Free to whoever wants it (or make a small donation to this...
