I popped all the festoon ones out without paying too much heed and they were all 39mm. It wasn't until I came to fit the new rears that I noticed they were a tad long but still fitted and made good electrical contact. Someone before me must have replaced them sized incorrectly.

I had a tensioner that had a slight bend in the mounting plate once, brand new part but can't remember the make, too long ago, like 20yrs maybe.

Goggled it. Under the steering wheel?

Where is it though?

So, to summarise, make sure my nuts are loose and tug enthusiastically?

I've heard of a thing called a clockspring? Where is that located? Is it worth trying to get that off for a spare whilst grabbing the wood wheel?

That works on my Defender but was fruitless on the 38 but.....I didn't persevere I admit, after spotting it wasn't necessary for a button decal refurb. If I do manage to get this wood wheel it's going to need a full refurb and the leather dyed from lightstone to black, never done anything like...

Might have purchased a wood/leather steering wheel for my dhse. In the past I've stripped my wheel down to refurb the buttons but after removing the big nut I couldn't get the wheel off the splines. I then realised that the wheel hasn't got to come off to do the buttons so I put the nut back on...

Sorry....

Mine came from Ireland when I got it 3 yrs ago, can't remember if it was ulster though.

Work the latch with a screwdriver, door open of course. You may find it's sticky, some brake cleaner or similar sprayed around it will cure that. Then adjust the b piller striker.

The pipe to the manifold says it is a booster then. This could be for the brakes or the clutch depending on where that copper pipe goes.

It's proper old whatever it is. Period accessory? Where do the rubber and the thin copper line go to? At a guess I'd suggest brake booster?

Argo on ebay. I confess I paid little heed to brightness I just wanted to reduce battery drain and hopefully get a bit more brightness. It's definitely brighter in there now so I'm pleased. Quality looks to be very good too and delivery was quick. This was my order below.

Changed all my interior bulbs for led. Boot light was changed last year for a powerful UK complete unit so nowt to do there. 4 x festoon in the rear roof lamps, rear footwell lamp and front roof lamp, 6 x 501 in the map lights, front footwell lights and both front door puddle lights.

Yes, I'll have a bit please. I'll pm you shortly.

Google 'classic rides' they are in North Wales.

Has a fiddle. I can confirm that the 20mm access hole I made in the lower tailgate to open the lower tailgate DOES also open the top tailgate. So rear seat folded down and a bit of a stretch and I can release the top hatch if it does it again. I'll have a proper fiddle when the weather improves...

That's given me a thought...the hole I made in the card allows me to open the lower hatch with my finger or a screwdriver but I've never checked to see if it would also release the top hatch as that has never failed to open (until yesterday). I shall fiddle somewhat tomorrow if its not too cold...
