    dashboard lights

    Jim, Is it the case that EVERY bulb will come out of the holder ? I have read some BBS posts elsewhere that suggest that some holders the bulbs are soldered in ? Also on I searched on the web for the 24850G part number and on an american site it shows some vehicles with a separate bulb and...

    dashboard lights

    Some info on the bulbs from the dealer parts dept ( they are very helpful here). There are three different types of bulb in the dash - remembering mine is a 2004 facelift. Three behind the LCD display are 13.5 V 0.56 W - clear with a blue cap. One each behind the tacho, speedo and between the...

    Spin out!!! LSD issues

    "Removing the rear ARB will give you a lot more articulation, keeping both wheels on the ground, although I would have thought that would just exacerbate he issue of th4e rear end breaking away??" The logic runs like this I think:- 1) The rear tyres are losing grip and therefore by definition...

    Spin out!!! LSD issues

    DOHHHHH :doh :o Sorry - don't how I missed that one Makeitfit. So - next plan is to disconoberate the rear ARB and play. I didn't think I was that heavy footed but maybe I am then ..... :augie The shocks are brand new - not expensive ones but new.

    Spin out!!! LSD issues

    Wow - thats a big torque value. I can't do that here but hopefully going to a friends place in a few weeks and can try that then. On another track I have had the 4 wheel alignment checked today and it is all still good so no "movement" from the excursion which also makes me think the bushes...

    Spin out!!! LSD issues

    No need to apologise :-) the obvious stuff is always the best first thing to check. Yep the 4WD light comes on and although I haven't done the specific check you mention I do know reversing with any kind of lock on is difficult - like the handbrake is on and it "feels" like the transmission is...

    best spot light?

    Well used the spots in "combat" for the first time today. Not bad but I had them set too high and I still do have too much bounce even with the spacers. I will take some pics tomorrow in daylight with what I think will fix it but basically I think some wide packers at the very front half of...

    Spin out!!! LSD issues

    I have read everything in this thread but I am worried there is still something wrong with my T2. Long story short - last weekend I had an underwear changing moment involving a 400 yd stretch of water covered black ice and a 3ft slope into mud and long grass. Having recovered and checked all...

    best spot light?

    Hi Rustic, yes I realised the two hole mounting wasn't enough and so I drilled an extra hole about midway down the plate (it wasn't done yet on the pics of the plates) and bolted through the plastic bumper (just behind the grill where it is hidden) - fitted plastic spacers to suit. It is much...

    best spot light?

    Just finally got finished fitting the Hellas. The install is probably illegal UK-wise I know, but here they aren't so fussy. I have used an unused slot in the fuse box for power - adjusted a flat 1/4" spade so it goes in and locks properly and then I can use a standard 30A fuse ( I can't stand...

    The T2 and the northern lights

    thanks guys :) Julia Bradbury - oh yes :thumbs :naughty @ makeitfit - can be pricey but if you do a bit of research and stay away from the tourist rip off companies it gets cheaper. Book well in advance on Icelandair and you can do flights for £250 return. You can do cheaper on Iceland...

    The T2 and the northern lights

    The Aurora up here this year is amazing. Took a trip out and took some photos including this one with the truck in view :-)

    best spot light?

    I have a pair of Hella Illuminator Compact Xenons that I am in the process of fitting. If my mate remembers to "acquire" some specific cable I want then I should get get them on by next weekend (I hope)

    4wd light on only in 2wd

    Had another look at the book - if you look in the Manual transmission section page MT-6 there is a check for the 4WD and Neutral switches using a meter and there is a note "*: Ensure both sides of 4WD 2-pole double-throw switch is operational, refer to “Warning lamps” wiring diagram in...

    4wd light on only in 2wd

    In the manual I can see 4 switches on the gearbox / transfer box together:- Reversing light switch - on the gearbox Neutral switch - on the gearbox 4WD switch - transfer box Another neutral switch - transfer box Not sure what number five is ??

    Front Hubs

    Ahhhh - thank you for clearing up a doubt in my mind. To be honest I wasn't sure what was fitted as the caps were not necessarily the originals. So these are fixed hubs ? This would be good news for me. As you say, the sun visor says nothing about reversing and the manual just says "where...

    Front Hubs

    I've been reading this one out of interest. From what I see from the manual the 2/4WD switch is indeed mounted in the transfer case ( Page TF-9 of the transfer section) and from the wiring diagram is a simple make/break switch. The lamp doesn't even have any damping in the gauge by the look of...
