  1. Expansion Tank Ejector and pipes? I've now had 2 of the plastic ejectors fail! Can somebody tell me what these do? Are they supposed to be a non return valve? Can I replace this with a Y piece? Cheers Gary
  2. Non what so ever. The later 300 TDI's have one shot. Which is good because there is no drain plug. Beleive me I spent about a week scratching my head over that one. Gary
  3. Totally agree with Teabag. A mate of mine changed all his leads a few years ago for nice coloured silicone leads @ mega ££££££££. Ended up in the bin fishing out his originals. Genuine everytime on the V8 ignition stuff. Gary
  4. Used the paddocks kit with no problems. Can't even remember if it was Britpart. Gary
  5. I used a rear fog light switch. (Fleabay) Had the rear connector and a short length of wire. Sliced it into my new wiring setup and internal lighting circuit. Followed attached diagram. Gary
  6. Used Paddocks Teflon Coated. Brought as a kit. No problems so far 6 months down the line. Good Luck Gary
  7. Has anybody done it? Got hold of 1 and thought it might be easier for fitting 2nd battery but it seem a lot bigger. Will try offering it up tomorrow but any advice would be welcomed. Cheers Gary
  8. I fitted a de-cat pipe. No special parts need.
  9. I had the same sort of problem but tracked it down to the tensioner being slightly loose giving just enough play for the belt to ride over the lip thus causing it to shred. Good Luck. Gary
  10. Hi VAVU, I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help here but I have almost the same symptoms and have carried out the same remedial actions with the added new steering box. Nothing has changed. My intentions for next weekend are to recheck torques, preloads, and tighten as required in the hope that things have just been bedding in. One thing I have noticed though, is that when towing the caravan the symptoms disappear??????? Could it be rear axle related? That's where I'll be looking next. Gary
  11. Good stuff Mark, I think I'll have a play at the weekend. I like the stengthening idea. Gary
  12. Hi Mark, always wondered what I could put under the seats. Would be really interested in the second battery fit as i planning this. Got a few ideas but seeing a completed job always helps. Gary
  13. Fliipping eck!!!! Thought I'd done well fitting a roof rack and spot lights.
  14. Evening All, I'm fitting a second battery at the weekend and am wondering what size cable I need for the connection between the 2 batteries. Not intending to run winch type eqipment, just a worklamp, aux power socket for portable fridge. Already got 1 split charge fitted for the Caravan and the cable for that is not particularly heavy duty. Would a length of th do the job or should I be looking at battery cable? Many Thanks Gary
  15. On the Rave disc there is an auxilary power socket kit in the accesory section that i thought I could copy to run my portable fridge. However, the relay has a connection numbered 88. Is this a misprint or will I need a special relay and if so where would I get one without paying LR prices. Cheers in advance Gary
  16. "The T behind the water bottle" Haven't found that one yet. I'll get looking. Cheers Gary
  17. Been trying to get the Cruise Control to work for what seems like forever. Today checked all electrical connections "again" tried it. Nothing I did, however, hear a click when pulling back on the reset button. Tried the set button, no click. Could this be the problem before I go down the complicated route of checking ECU readings etc. Cheers Gary
  18. Sorry about that Stu! Meant to say "is a brand new one really worth it"? I, like you, fitted an electric setup for around £50 and, it is after all, something else to toy with. Gary
  19. I went down the electric fan route as I picked 1 up really cheap, but even when towing a caravan on the few sunny summer days we had it only came on when sat in stationary traffic for an hour. They work fine when running but worth the money? I wouldn't like to say!! Gary
  20. I fitted a second hand one to my 300. It didn't come with a fitting kit or thermostat. Knocked up a frame that slots into the exsisting bottom fan cowling brackets and bolted it to the top radiator frame. Fitted an X thermostat. Test it now and again as the engine has only ever gotton warm enough once for it to kick in that I have ever noticed. Do a search there is plenty of info around. Good Luck Gary
  21. Thanks, I only asked because I found, what I presume is the serial plug in the drivers footwell and I've had the SRS light on and not been able to find a problem anywhere. Thanks Again Gary
  22. How much do garages charge for a check of systems with Testbook? Also can I get it done anywhere or does it have to be a main dealer? Cheers Gary
  23. Thanks folks, I'm fitting a new swivel at the weekend so I'll set it with seal off and then again with seal on to see how they match up. Gary
  24. Many thanks, I'll dig my fishing gear out tomorrow. Gary
  25. Hi All, what do you use to check the swivel pre load? All the pictures I've seen it looks like a set of fishing scales. Will these do? Cheers Gary
