thanks that will help allot thank you just in case if any one has the page of the workshop manual that has that the basic wiring diagram for the dash its a non rev counter early version

i am re wiring from scratch a 1972 range rover bobtail i need the wiring diagram for the dash wiring for main dash gauges ie color of wires etc for fuel water gauge i no the dash lights are wight with red trace but cant find the colors for either gauges or for the indicator lights if any one has a copy of a wiring diagram for this age or a pdf or if not could give the wiring color traces for it would save me a nightmare thanks guys

I have Citroen c6 heater element installed just I font of the original matrix works great thinking of removing the water one matrix totally Has 3 heat settings heats up in seconds and it's about the perfect size to fit in the heater box on the defend

i have tried it as described, all works both lights come on and switch for indicators is correct as they function, but can't get the hazards to work, but can't get the relay to work, have tried two new relays but still no hazards, but all the switches and relays the indicators function fine just cant get hazards to work starting to panic cause mot comming fast

could it be all switchs cause its only the switch that dose the hazards not any other wiring as i understand from this post ??

Hi could some please help have mot tommrow at 2 pm have all indicators but no hazards tryed 3 switches in my mates truck they all work but put any in my 90 all indicators work but no hazard lights and one is brand new ???

Ill tig it with a wp9 and button cap with a short sheild and gas lense recon ill get that in and will leave a nice finish i normaly tig every thing as no cleaning or grinding down after its welded only prep cleaning is a bit more intense but should be ok was shore my self but just wanted to check had a little voice saying must be a reason every one migs them not tig thinking about it prop cause its easy to piont and poo with a mig

crude but i used i half worn 4" angle grinder disc srewed it wear i needed the hole with washer and self tapper them run the plasma cutter around it come out perfect and as a finnisher i got a bit of alloy checker plate on the face plate of the lathe and bashed a ring out thats half inch smaller than hole on inside and 1 inch bigger over all and pop riveted it on looks as good as a £40 trim buy ( well u all know how dose them ) :lol:

what you are on about is a form of arc gouging we used to use them at work with a compressor to cut big i mean realy big bits of old steel same as a thermic lance they use to cut under water the ones that i posted i have seen these rods work before few years ago we snapped a bult off in a track sproket on a 21tonne digger and the guy come out with these and used it to remove it and just run a tap to clean the flux coating out the treads i dont know how good it would be on small stuff but it saved us never seen them advertsied before now

found thi9s have read the write ups after reading westerns post the other day wish had found these ealyer for any one that has problem with broken bolts or taps ect these work well http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/welding-rods-for-extracting-studs-broken-taps-bolts-etc_W0QQitemZ220536858356QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item33590566f4

hi how do the front axle drop boxes work do u have any pics i love the way u have made these drop boxs have been made

My 300 90 did the same thing, it turned out to be crud in the tank blocking filter on a run it got the filter so jammed up it popped the seal in the top cover of the lift pump.

only problem i can see is these dont have the side vents on the wings the 300tdi uses the drivers side as its air intake

this is what i mean

just quick one I know its a bit off track but I have a type R winch that has a label hanging around the selector saying fill with oil ???? what oil what does it mean? I can't see any oil points or does it need greasing ???

Yes sounds great like a truck turbo

it does not have split pipes or holed i/c thats not what was trying to get at cheers any way my mates td5 thats chipped ect got de cat pipe makes lovely noise and the best has to be the old landcruiser we see at local site sound like lorry turbo I sort of know what you mean I have 62mm pipe straight from the turbo to nearside by the passenger door no boxes etc and only cone filler on end of snorkel I can't get box under engine bay due to moving engine right back to the fire wall and have pump and turbo wound right up. but still not that loud
