Hmmm Beamer has rear fogs on when both full and dipped lights are on . Rang MOT station and inspector said it only needs to work with dipped headlights on . So guess all is good ☺️

Hmmm didn't think of that , I'll check it out on my Beemer. Circuit diagram might also indicate that. What's the theory ? Guess you wouldn't use full beam forward in fog ( you'd get blinded) but how does that apply behind u ?

It's rear fog lights , hopefully not blinding driver behind me ☺️

Trying to track down wiring fault on rear fog light on my 85 defender . Works fine on dipped beam , light comes on and dash panel lights up. As soon as full beam is activated both rear fog lamp and dash indicator goes out. Have checked wiring at rear of Landy , all good. But at the fuse and...

Good news .... It passed its emissions test ... Easily . MOT tester was well impressed, he was surprised it was the 19j , thought they had all be swapped out for 200TDIs, and was a bit of a fan of the engine , said it was running like a sowing machine, but to watch over filling the oil as the...

and where there's muck ..... There's usually a Landy 😁

So What's e Silicon sealer ?

I see you can buy disposable full face masks that claim class 3 so you could use them with 2 pack, as you say I've heard both views of 2k paint . If your affected by the paint seems it's quite debilitating any your sensitised . Since I get a few allergies , pretty sure it'll go for me 😁

Last time I tried Dingbro they said they only dealt with trade, not the public ��

Don't you need load of gear for 2 I Pack , air fed mask and filter systems to avoid killing yourself, family and local pets neighbours etc ?

Seems to be running ok with very little white smoke looking ok , hope it passes the MOT at that .

Looking for a paint supplier in North of Scotland for some Defender red paint for an 85 defender , prob Flame red ? Can you still get cellulose ? Or do you have use water based or two pack ( would have to get geared up with breather masks etcfor that stuff)

Defender 2.5td almost ready for MOT , but still a few loose connectors to find homes for . Have hooked up reverse switch . But found another stray wire hanging by chassis near gearbox , where are the other electrics /switches on the gearbox/transfer box? I did hook it up to the oil filter but...

Seems to have stopped the White smoke, just occasional puffs like its missing every so often. Maybe that's a valve?

Well engine running as per later post with your injector pump Discomania, so thanks mate . Still got some issues with blowing some white smoke but much better than before. All my problems does however prove that the 19j will infect run when the timing belt is set up at TDC on the Pistons rather...

Well engine front rebuilt and starting. Running ok but still getting some white smoke so I'm guessing it might need some more 'fine' tuning. I'll re-check the tappet gaps , and if that's not the cause, maybe Advance the ingnition pump a little . Is that anticlockwise as you look from the front...

Ok that's my job tomorrow sorted ☺️

Do you have to release rocker assembly to allow the cam to turn without it making the valves hit the pistons ? Or can you just turn the crank over and leave the cam stationary ?
