    Stupid Fog Light

    The way the light works(at least on my 200tdi) is it shows you that the light SHOULD be on, not necessarily that it is on. It basically shows you that the lights are on and the fuse is good. It's quite possible for the telltale to be on and the rear light not to be. The two issues I had was the...

    Is my engine overheating?

    Nope - none of the pipes are too hot to hold. I've ordered a electric gauge as recommended in ashleywood.ash 's thread, so will see what happens. I've also ordered another waterpump just to put my mind at ease. I figure if I replace the water pump and thermostat, plus put a better sensor &...

    Stupid Fog Light

    (Written from my experience with 200tdi - other models may work differently) The fog light it set to work only with the ignition on and lights. If you're getting a light on the dash, that suggests those are all ok. The fog light also has it's fuse before the dash light, so again if its on dash...

    Is my engine overheating?

    Hello, I've just rebuilt my landy, and carried on using my 200tdi that was in the vehicle originally. I plan to rebuild it at some point, though there's not really anything wrong with it. It's a solid engine and I've never had any issues with it, it's maintained regularly. On the way back from...

    Drum brakes binding

    So today I have had it apart again, and it's improved but not perfect. I've checked springs are the right way around, and also that the tennis racket shaped thing is screwed to the trailing shoe. I also gave the hub face and the corresponding bit inside brake drum a rub down, just to make sure...

    Drum brakes binding

    I've found the rebuild manual and noticed two differences....I can't see how they will change things, but will try 1st the top spring is upside down on mine (still has long end in right place....but will turn it the other way tomorrow) Second is the plate at the bottom is screwed to the...

    Drum brakes binding

    I just managed to get out for a few minutes in between showers. The trailing shoe seems symmetrical, so i don't think that's it. I tried removing it and put the wheel back on, and it still binds so it seems it is at least the leading shoe that's binding, or both.

    Drum brakes binding

    With the rear drum brakes, there's a peg on the leading shoe which is where it meets the adjuster. As there's only one adjuster per wheel (I think 110's have two), there's only one place out of four (two shoes per wheel) that the leading shoe can go (if you get it on the wrong wheel, then the...

    Drum brakes binding

    Yea.....I also searched online to make sure: I found this : Does that look right (mine has the lock on the bottom with bolts in as well) ? (It's an image online, not mine, but mine is set up the same way) The adjuster works - just at the moment as the shoes are new so they are at the lowest on...

    Drum brakes binding

    Hello, I took my rebuilt landy for it's MOT yesterday and it failed on the drum brakes binding. I replaced the shoes a week or so ago, and one wheel does consistently bind. The adjuster is already at it's minimum. I think it's the edge facing the wheel that's binding, as it gets worse as you...

    Now a 90 owner...what have I done?

    Only thing to mention is the heater seems to have been bypassed....may want to look at that, you may not notice any difference though ;)

    Help needed please

    I've replaced clutch on my 200tdi, and the new friction plate said flywheel on it. Is there a recess in the flywheel? If not, the sticky out bit will have to be facing the gearbox.

    Electrical gremlins

    So, lots of messing yesterday resulted in this: Left hand indicators - the rear indicator had a faulty bulb holder. I cleaned it up and it was fine. Front : the earth didn't seem to be suitable (I had checked contiuity earlier, however perhaps something has moved since then. I ran a new earth...

    Electrical gremlins

    So the issue with dash lights was a fuse luckily. I've taken the switch off, and when I connect up via a fused wire the purple (permanent 12v) and right hand indicators I get the front and back right hand indicators plus the side indicator. I don't get the telltale on the dash. When I do the...

    Electrical gremlins

    Thanks.....that helped....however I still don't have working left indicators nor do I have dash lights anymore. I'm going to check side lights fuse tomorrow ..... I'm hoping the left side lights supply to the dash lights (for the clocks)....and I also hope I stumble across the indicators issues...

    Electrical gremlins

    Thank you :) Now you've written that - it makes sense. Do you know which multiplug? I'll take a look - but it was more the combination of plugs and whether they're correct - the main reason I'm asking is the issues I'm having with the indicators on the right hand side - I think there's a...

    Electrical gremlins

    I do have a wiring diagram, however there's some colours on the car that I can't match with the diagram. The three blades I have at the dash are these: Red/green, Brown/green and solid green I also have these which for completeness are for the engine temperature and fuel level. Connected up...

    Electrical gremlins

    The ones I was talking about are all in the engine bay - one of them then passes through into the cab behind the dash with 3 blade connectors

    Electrical gremlins

    Thanks.... The connectors I have is a 10 way connector from the bulkhead loom which at the moment I have two 4 way connectors going into it and a single connector (need to confirm colour). There's then a thick black white connector from the bulkhead loom that at the moment I have plugged into...

    Electrical gremlins

    Hello, I've pretty much finished putting my landy back together after a galvanised chassis, and am very keen to get it MOT'd as am due to be moving in about a month. I've got a few issues with the electrics, though. 1) I'm not convinced I have the connectors connected up properly in the...
