The week point is potentially the switch. On main beam you would be drawing about 16 amps as against the standard draw of about 10 amps. When these bulbs were used on rally cars years ago they would be wired through a relay to protect the switch and wiring - probably the safest option. Edit...

You know me so well Alex ;-)

Just to be devilish, I'm going to toss something into the mix and then run for cover: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201502171021477/ :naughty

My guess is that if they want to put it on the forcourt about £1950, if they don't about £ 1350. They would retail it at about £3950 however. Certainly doesn't seem fair though.

My Late 2004 has 3 point seatbelts to all seats bit no isofix.

Thanks for the questions so far - it's enabled me to modify the description to give others more info that had never even crossed my mind :thumb2

I had never looked as I only have the one child but I have just been out to check and it does indeed have a roof mounted 3rd seat belt so no lap belts. Ian

Cheers Banshee, I won't be going away too soon as I have a nearly new membership. I'll also pay a years membership for the new owner as and when she sells. Ian

Thanks Rustic. Now edited. It's surprising what you forget to mention when you're writing the advert - I hadn't even said that she starts and runs :eek: Ian

Well the day dawned Very good discount if anyone here wants it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331474147320

Wow that's a beast of a truck! Love it. Have fun Alex.

Spot on. I Probably should have explained.

And a nice plug for the club in the contacts section, well done spinna :clap :clap

Oh, no. Oh, thank you, none of that foreign muck. What? Garlic bread? Garlic bread? Garlic? Bread? Am I hearin' you right? Garlic bread? No, thank you, I've got some milk roll in t'case that'll do me.

Perhaps mine was the other way around on the original battery? I really can't remember now but I certainly didn't do anything any more difficult than a bit of wiggling when I fitted this one. Oh, and cut a bit out of the clamp rim on the engine side. This battery came off my dead Mercedes W210.

Oh, I didn't need to change anything apart from reroute the negative slightly to relieve a bit of stress. Thought that this was the normal way round to be honest? Just for accuracy, my + terminal faces forward and is towards the centre of the car.

Just to put the cat among the pigeons (again) I have found this page that suggests that newer diesel vacuum pumps are liable to "over assist" the pedal. In other words, while stationary, with engine running it is possible to achieve brake line pressure far above that which could be achieved in...

Rick, I have massive respect for your technical knowledge and practical ability but this does seem to be a known characteristic of some diesel vehicles. Google "diesel creep" and you get thousands of results reporting the same symptoms. The MOT handbook seems to recognise it and says that it's...
