    Towing Question.....help

    therefore remove the prop... like i said. you only need take it off at the axle end and tie it up... there is wear and tear like u said but they also heat up because they can't lubricate themelves.

    A few questions.

    wiper switch is a common fault you need a replacement try shorting it with a bit of wire to see if it'll go. Check all your fuses as well i think there might be a separate fuse for flashers and full beam. I'm pretty sure the tank is smaller than that around 40-50 litres bang it in google.

    clueless difflock user - Help

    it is really meant for when you go up and down steep slopes. All the weight shifts on one axle and the lighter one spins up. It helps stop this. I wouldn't recommend running your diffs in on road as there is no need the centre diff is there for a reason.
