Get stuff delivered to my house if you want mate and collect when you are passing and I'll get you cash & carry Bourbons as well :D

Exactly! Gator skin waist coat, cowboy hat, massive beer belly and a huge Crocodile Dundee knife on his belt :cool:

I had the joys of being requested to accompany the USN or USAF plain clothes police (OSI or some such name, maybe NCIS :p) once in Florida near NAS Cecil Field. They were conducting raids of naughty bars in the area as there was a big "No one leaves the camp for 2 weeks" exercise going on. Of...

hahahaha - didn't think of it that way

In case this happens to anyone else, whilst on my bulb swapping expedition I found that my rear offside outer light cluster had lost one nut and was about to lose another! No idea how after all these years but luckily I found it. Anyway looking at the surviving nut I thought that looks...

Thanks all, nice to see all the banter is on form :p:D I was using the omnipotent search engine but wasn't getting any hits. 12v 5w is a bit generic. I went and bought a P21W and guess what? Two prongs (or whatever they are called) on the base, not the one that the P38 needs (bangs head off...

Thanks Brian, nice to be back. I've got a new job now and 99% less stress and crap. So time to join in and ask daft questions again :D

:D

R5W is one of them, just spotted it on the bulb holder

Hi all, I have used the search but it's not coming up with a full bulb type. i'm sure Wammer's sent it to me a long time ago but I've lost it. Does anyone have the complete list of bulb types please. Rave is not very clear. My rear outer lights, middle bulb has blown but I can't find an H168...

What type of adapter do you need to be able to pressurise with compressed air? I'll be doing a leak test but pressurising first, vacuum test if there is no leak under pressure. What psi is best to test at, don't want to blow any seals etc.

I fitted the metal one after my plastic one went bang on the M6. I'd advise replacement before it goes bang as it took me a long time to fish out all of tiny plastic fragments, plus having to buy a viscous fan tool.... and waiting for it to be delivered.... :rolleyes:

Make sure you have windscreen cover and throw a piece of ceramic (old spark plug does it apparently - but not sure if that's an old wives tale) at the glass that needs replacing. Then make the phone call...

Mark, have you got any left over mate? P38 is now coming to France, Q7 is currently VOR And you have a nice garage ;)

... and that's how collections of parts in the garage start. It did for me!

Ok great, thanks. I changed my trinary (I think that's what it's called) switch and other gubbins last year in prep for gassing it up. The only thing I haven't changed is the bit under the dash. Pound to a pinch of s*** that's where the leak will be. I have a compressor so I'll do that, I wasn't...

Nice to know. I'll do functional testing over the next few weeks, can't do it now I broke my vacuum pump. I want to be able to chase down the leak so might find a DIY leak test kit first. I don't mind doing the work as long as I know what to do. Just need to buy an outside garage tent now the...

Thanks Alan - I'll have a look later / tomorrow and see if I can sort it. It would be nice to fix it before the crappy weather kicks in

Kwikfit in Winsford was where I went. I told them there was a leak and could they put dye in it. They ignored me and gassed mine up. The stink was horrible. Then when I repeated that I'd asked them to put the dye in to find the leaks they refused. Told me that they aren't allowed to work on a...

I've had to do a complete field repair of a burned out fuse box. Long tale, but the only thing that didn't work after i'd done my field repair was the EAS. i repaired it with solid centre core of satellite coax and plenty of solder. All based on this website...
