Before we start the conversion on our Sankey, we found ( a long time ago ) a thread to a self build conversion
Due to a pc crash I lost all the links to it, however I have one picture saved
Does anybody recognise it ? have a link to the thread
I am not even sure which forum I found it on.....
( must learn to backup)

Thanks mate
will keep eyes open but I feel that the best way will be to make my own, now all I need is the other half of the plug to work with

Is it possible to get a converter lead to adapt the military wiring to a conventional 12n plug ?
I really do not want to butcher the wiring on the trailer unless I have to

No problem, glad it can be of some use.
The sitch eustachions I bought came from Keith Gott in Alton, so I wouldn't mind betting your favorite parts stockist would have them - I've since thrown the bag away so I can't tell you which supplier they came from, but I've also seen them on eBay too in the past.
Cheers Kev, phoned them ..had stock..in post today
Off next week so repairing switches on the list of jobs..
Many thanks again

Kev
Are the switch eustachions a dealer part or have you found another source ( I have two that are broken but the electrics still work)

Edited to add:
Thank you for the informative write up, now I have no escuse....

We got a set of "pod" panels from evilbay the other week, took a seat out last night and realised that there are no slots for the fixing clips ( Doh !!)
Out with the cutters.....

Due to other commitments this will have to wait till the weekend, we are at Abingdon for the show so I will have a look then.

It's mostly the regulator that brakes one way or another but, if I were you, I wouldn't order parts before looking what's broke.
Mmm Sound advice, will have the door card off tonight annd have a look

The ******* electric window has gone down on our Disco but now makes a clacking noise when trying to lift it up again
Sounds like either the motor or regulator has gone up the swanee....
Is this usually the motor or the regulator that packs up before I order the parts
Cheers

You can find turn to turn gps software for most (if not all) non-win op sys. The issue is to choose one for which you can find Ozi/Memory Map like programs with OS maps.
The ones that I know of:
- symbian: http://www.viewranger.com/vrphonesupport.php
- iPhone/iPod: http://www.routebuddy.com/atlas/
Thanks for the Route Buddy link, Will try it out

We have just purchased a Mk2 lockable "Damage repair" sankey 3/4 trailer
which is in very good condition, however I have a couple of questions for those with far more knowledge than me !
1. The front support legs? ( which have wheels enclosed in a base pad) although they swing down the are stuck in the tube so we cannot drop them to floor level
any ideas/tricks to free them up
2. Is there a wiring diagram for me to convert the 24pin military towing plug to a 12n configuration for the time being
Many thanks

Straight swop.
Worth buying brighter bulbs as well while you're at it.
Cheers mate, already picked up a hid H4 conversion kit to go in

This topic has probably been done before but I cannot find it with the search.....
We have a 1997 300tdi and want to convert the headlights to early TD5 spec
Now I have been told by " a mate" that all I need is the headlights and they are a straight swop !
Is this correct or do I have to do some surgery to the housings
Thanks in anticipation

Just a "trick" to use when hand painting
Get some " Owatrol Oil" add 10 -15% to the gloss coats , this will retard the paint hardening slightly, then roller the paint on using a "radiator 6" foam roller" horizontally on the panels then draw the paint off downwards or at 90 degs using a good dry brush
This will get a good smooth finish, I have used this method on Trucks, Boats and Vehicles for a number of years and gives a good relatively brush line free finish

An absolutely top tip that worked perfectly, thanks Aragorn & errol209
Steering now back to normal, onto the next job

I read another thread about this last week (on here, of course), so while I had the lid up (and the cricket on) I tried it - I was skeptikakal to say the least. However, GO DO IT NOW! Can't believe the improvement
I must remember to use the search first !

it could be the UJ's on the column, try WD40ing them and see if it improves at all.
Thanks mate, will try that tonight
