Hope this helps then.....

I didn't replace all the wiring. I took a H4 female connector and connected it to the bulb. Then I plugged a H4 male connector into the original bulb plug. Then using a thick bit of electric string I joined the two connectors to two relays. The idea is that the standard wiring is used just to...

Standard all the power goes through the light switch. Eventually the light switch burns out. I now have two relays - one for main and one for dipped - so very little power goes through the switch but full battery voltage goes to the bulbs. Easy hours job and as I used H4 connectors easy to put...

Maybe, maybe....does no harm to have thicker cables to the bulbs though. :)

So I finally got around to proving the reason my headlights are dim is because the voltage drops too much through the thin standard wires. Here is a quick check on the left light - quite a difference! A couple of relays, a couple of connectors and 4m of heavier cable and it now looks...

Was on it when i bought it. Galv chassis restoration, original bulkhead, nice seats, central locking etc......with the reliability of a 300TDi. At the risk of a thread hijack....

My 1997 has a 2009 or there abouts body on it so I bought an alarm off eBay that included the door lock solenoids. Once I stripped the door card off the drivers door I found the solenoid already fitted. Then I found that the rear door solenoids were commoned in the box under the drivers seat...

Yes.....you push your foot down and the pedal pushes the rod but all the fluid leaks past the seal so no fluid (or very little) goes down to the slave. Does that make sense? :)

Bought my tickets...Friday to Sunday.

My 300TDi did about the same on my first tank full that I measured. For me it turned out the odometer was reading wrong but the speed was correct. I am actually doing 1.5 x the displayed distance. That made my 17mpg more like 26mpg and more believable. Probably not your problem but a quick...

Seriously thinking about the Gathering.......just not sure what I am doing around that time yet, and there is the Land Rover Spring Adventure the weekend after. Fortunately I was in an enlightened Middle East country where alcohol was available to us infidels and you could buy bacon in the...

Hi Folks, I have been a member here for many a year but thought as I have had an absence it was time for a re-introduction. 20 years ago I owned a '72 Series III 88 inch 2.25 diesel. It was a good work horse and took me many places. Eventually though the prop broke and cracked the transfer...

Wading plug?

A search on the web finds I am not the only person to have had this problem! I would change the gauge but as it makes no practical difference to me I will wait until a cheap one appears on ebay with a similar mileage to mine.

I had a CV joint on the front prop of my Durango....it needed cleaning and greasing everytime you went through muddy water. The UJ on the rear prop never needed touching in 275,000km.

I could see someone fiddling with an odometer to make it read less mileage than you have actually done so the vehicle will appear as a low mileage one but what would be the point in having it read less mileage than you are driving? The cable from the gearbox drives the speedometer that moves...

Standard tyres....235/85 R16. If the tyres were the wrong size then the speed would be wrong as well. As the gearbox is turning the speedo at the right speed to give me the correct reading then I would expect the mileage to be correct as well..... Can't see how the mileage can be out when...

I'm confused...... I have not had the vehicle long and on my first tank full I got 17mpg!!! Not believing that a 300TDi could do only 17 to the gallon I have plugged my gps in and gone for a drive. The speedo is reading spot on....30mph is 30mph on the gps and 50mph is 50mph etc. But I...
