Yeah, I know that he may well have a point, but I was just enjoying seeing a rambler being on the receiving end for once, especially as it seems like he made a bit of a prat of himself.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Sounds like the starter or the wiring & relay controling the starter. Have you checked those? Ahh, hang on. You say it does crank. Ignore me then!!

Show off. (I'm just jealous).

I had similar issues with the weedy horn. I fitted a simple air horn under the bonnet. It cost around £10 from a local motor factor place. It included the relay, pump and horn. It's much more effective. I've heard of a chap who fitted a long lorry-type air horn down the inside of one of the front wings. Apparently it was mighty impressive.

Well, yeah, I do get peeved at people using our road as a short cut. But you're one of the gang so we'll let you off ! Just wish I had known about it before I bought the place. Still, you live and learn. We are beginning to regret having Spike's nuts cut off, as loads of people are commenting on how much they like him and the waiting list to get one is huge.

I thought the greenpeace vid was hilarious. I feel utterly powerless to change any misinformed or unwarrented predjudice towards my choice of vehicle. I just laugh at the nutters now. The only thing which really winds me up in the whole 'should we shoudn't we own a 4x4 argument' are the people who don't really know how to drive them. These are the people who can't park them, or can't go around corners without mounting them etc etc. My current frustration is with a local here in Swindon who owns one of those vile Hummer H2 things. It is noticably wider than most other vehicles but still they insist on taking it on the school run where they take it down a very narrow back street and prevent anyone else from getting up or down it. To make matters worse they then park it either illegally or in a space where they simply don't fit. I don't mind them owning it (they clearly have poor taste, but that's another matter), I just can't believe the stupidity of them forcing it down roads it doesn't fit, screwing everyone else. It's the old problem of people wanting to exersize their rights, but aren't able or willing to accept responsibility for their actions.

Yep, another top one Les. Mark's wagon's going to be a lot healthier. There can't be much on it you haven't rebuilt!

Yay got them all. That's my viewing for the next week sorted then!

Excellent! The grand download has begun.

Any chance you could supply some more details as to why this has happened?

Way too expensive for a lump of plastic and a few switches IMO. If you have that kind of money to waste spend on a piece of dash, I'd have thought you'd own a new one with it already fitted.

I have a dial gauge + mag base if you want to borrow also. Let me know.

Ditto the other's advice. When I fitted series type doors to my tdi 90, I had to drill 2 holes each side for the different strikers. I took measurements from a military 90 and took some pics also. I'll see if I still have them somewhere. Incidently, I had some problems getting the doors to close properly because of the bottom door seal. I removed them altogether in the end. This also helps water to drain out.
