Thanks Andy, will have a look tomorrow. From the figures I got earlier, I should get around 125 ohms resistance. 👍🏻

Hi Andy, it’s an 06, so yup that’s that explained. Now all I need is frost…..🫣

Thanks Nodge. Had a quick look this morning. This is what I understand from the wiring diagrams: 1. According to the fuse box cover, F3 supplies the mirror heaters and the rear washer. 2. Ignition switch position 2 puts a feed through F3. Got the multimeter out, switched to ignition position 2...

Thanks Andy, that’s one on the diagrams I’ve got. Time for further investigation then to prove one way or the other. Just got rained off half way through washing it.😡 👍🏻 Cheers.

Hi All, It was quite cold here yesterday morning and I needed the full heater, rear screen, and heated mirrors on. The drivers mirror didn’t seem to be working. Having looked at the wiring diagrams in my Haynes and the documents I’ve managed to find online neither seem to have a switch for them...

Thanks Nodge. That’s good then. Did the cabin filter last year with all the others. Just passed it’s MOT today with OS track end with very slight play and some OSF brake pipes ‘corroded or covered with…..’ So thats all on the list now. I did wonder what the occasional thud from the OSF was...

Hi All, apologies if this qualifies for the most ridiculous question ever to appear on this site. I’ve got an 06 TD4 and the oil change is coming up, last year when I did it I also changed the air, crankcase, fuel filter at the OSR wheel arch (the long thin one)and turbo filters, gearbox, IRD...

Hi Andy, apologies for the late reply. Did them at the same time as the lower arms & associated bushes, and ARB bushes in February. Any way, MOT man’ll tell me tomorrow….🤷‍♂️ Cheers, Michael.

Got an odd ‘noise’ that sounds like it’s at the OSF. It shouldn’t be any of the bushes as they were replaced along with the bottom arms earlier this year. Investigated it as the MOT’s on Tuesday but no joy. Then got sidetracked into cleaning the gunk from behind the mud flap. Then got properly...

Thanks Kernowsvenski. 👍🏻

I’m thinking of doing the same, if it behaves itself and passes the MOT next Tuesday! Where did you buy yours from? Are they all much of a muchness? Cheers, Michael.

Decision made - Dinitrol it is. Thanks for everyone’s input. 👍🏻

That’s a possibility. I need to decide whether I want Lanoguard protection or bling BRG underbody.👍🏻

Thanks Andy.

Hi All, was catching up with the ‘What ya done on the FL today’ Fred and came across Nodges’ mention of Bonda primer. I’ve quite a bit of caliper paint in BRG and wondered about using the Bonda and the BRG over it. I was initially thinking of Lanogarding underneath but then remembered the BRG...

Many thanks Andy.

Hi All, My headliner has started to fall. I’ve read a few Fred’s on the subject and just wondered how much material people order for the job. Also, most places seem to offer widths of around 1.5-6 metres wide. I’m assuming this is wide enough with some stretching. Has anyone replaced the fabric...

I’m sure there’s plenty of physics on that topic. Thanks.

Hi, I was thinking(!) the other day regarding the ‘even a difference of 5mm between the front and rear tyre diameters can cause problems’ for the VCU. If as the FL1 manual states for normal driving a tyre pressure of 30psi all round is adhered to, the added weight on the front axle of the...

Treated mine to a cover for the tailgate tyre and a new leather sewn on steering wheel cover. Very posh if I say so myself…..!
