    Can someone check my wiring maths please?

    27A would be ~2.5mm CSA though at a guess If so - that'll be fine to fit in a normal insulated spade connector (blue) to fit two cables into one for the load you'd struggle to get two 2.5mm's into a yellow spade connector - 1mm would be enough for wiring to each lamp individually and you'd get...

    Can someone check my wiring maths please?

    I'm an industrial spark by trade so my auto wiring is done with cable measured in metric not americanese or current... as long as the cable is rated to 20A it'll be fine, but as i mentioned - too big and you'll struggle to terminate it and a bad connection is more likely to end up charred than a...

    Can someone check my wiring maths please?

    each lamp will draw 8.3A so 27 amp cable to each lamp individually will: A) Be very expensive for no gain B) make it damn near impossible to get the cables into a crimp terminal to fit to the relay... 20A cable to feed (20A blade fuse) 10A cables to lamps (or 20A from relay to first lamp, then...

    300tdi to some v8

    I'm worried why a good disco wouldn't have it's engine and box... what condition is the body and chassis in? Normally a disco would have it's engine stripped out when the rot killed it!

    camera advice needed

    Have you got any old film SLR gear? If so look at the same brand as the lenses you've got ;) If starting from scratch - maybe S/H Nikon D70 and a few lenses for that money...

    Outriggers?

    Would've thought that this post being in the Disco section would tell you something about that! Outriggers - I would imagine would refer to the supports from the chassis legs to the body floor at either the front or rear of the passenger compartment. Will probably just patch up with plate...

    Air rifle for sale, Wiehrauch 97k excellent rifle

    I've imposed a 3 gun limit on myself... can only justify 1 spud gun and I need the 10 shot for use with NV for night time rat extermination duties. I'm having naughty thoughts about getting a cheap single shot 12g (£50 or less) and silencing it though at the minute though!

    Air rifle for sale, Wiehrauch 97k excellent rifle

    IIRC Violent Crimes Reduction bill changed this the other year, think you have to be 18 now, also can no longer mail order air rifles... Nice guns though - shoot almost like a PCP, I sold 2 of my 3 air guns last year - kept an S200 PCP, wishing now that I'd kept the springer!

    Previous MOT!

    Sounds like a fairly normal disco MOT printout! Look for plating around the 6 body mounts under the cabin (one below a pillar, one at c pillar and one on rear edge below boot door (ns one will be hidden by exhaust)) Also check inner and outer sills, front inner wings/wheelarches, rear...

    300TDi P-Gasket Replacement

    If your P-gasket hasn't been replaced before, you'll probably find it's perished... Looking from the nearside wing down behind the alternator you may see something like this... Firstly dump the coolant from the engine, then remove all coolant hoses and the top intercooler hose from...

    Door Latch Spring Replacement

    As promised... This is how I replaced the broken spring on a rear passenger door, I will do another for a front door when I get round to changing one! First, remove the grab handle which is secured by two 10mm hex-head bolts. Then remove the latch lever surround by holding the lever open...

    Just the key?

    You can disable the alarm with just the key by using the key access code... it is a faff though, involving turning the key upto 36 times!
