    Replacing cigar lighter

    on my 110 you take out the small fascia part, unplug the wires and then remove the little light bulb socket on the side, that gives enough clearance to pull it through the hole with the green surround on it. i replaced mine with a USB socket and builtin voltmeter from amazon, much better

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    looked at the fusebox today as i want to add in some wiring for my reversing cam , spotted two captive nuts on the fusebox frame, found some Allen head bolts in my stash which fit perfectly to give two easily accessible earth points. i assume these are mounts for some other electrical gubbins...

    Missing belt? 300tdi

    i spotted the same on my 300tdi , but i assume its to run another auxiliary belt for an aircon pump or the like or another option not fitted to mine. i just assume they use a generic pulley for all models. yours is also like mine in that its missing the viscous fan of the end of the pulley.

    300tdi no fan?

    cheers for the info, i'm going to have to measure the clearance between the rad and the fan to see if a viscous and cowl will fit just in case its been spaced back at all.

    300tdi no fan?

    asked him, he said it was never on there when he changed the radiator. might be that its tight for space as well. he reckons they sap engine power as well. might plump for an electric one

    300tdi no fan?

    cool. to be fair the temp guage never seems to go above halfway and the heater is nice and warm when its on full belt

    300tdi no fan?

    does the viscous coupling just screw onto that threaded part in the middle of the pulley in the photo?? cheers

    300tdi no fan?

    ah, thankyou for the confirmation, i know some cars don't bother because they have such a large amount of water and a big radiator. i don't tow and don't do a lot of offroad so i'll probably be okay. i'll maybe look at an aftermarket electric kit and thermostat just for extra safety when the...

    300tdi no fan?

    Morning, am i missing something? my 110 (new to me) doesn't have a fan, either viscous or electric? i know my mate who had it before replaced the radiator but should it have a fan? and is the radiator a combined water and oil radiator? its got a big intercooler in front of it so i assume this...

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    i'm off to take the dog guard out of my 110 , my mate who i bought it off left it in but i don't need it so he can have it back for his other truck. then i might change the handbrake cable, or at least the handbrake end as a local mechanic is doing the drum end tomorrow. (it snapped in case you...
