thats it, two phases and earth this would give you 380v-415v across the phases. yellow plugs = 110volts blue plugs = 230v-240 volts red plugs = 380v 415 volts. regards bri ps dont get them mixed up = bang smoke

depends where you stick it!

often when people upgrade their electric showers they fit a more powerful one to get more hot water, but then the cable and circuit breaker are the wrong size. You really should get on to yhe council and have it checked ASP tell them this is a safety issue, could cause a fire. Dont forget you...

the earth wires are fitted to all metal surfaces so that that they are all bonded together as one. should an electrical equipment become faulty so that the metal surfaces could become live then the bonding to earth will cause a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip so disconnecting the...

jet engines run on paraffin, or they did when I worked on Camberas in the Raf. we used to run our heating stoves on the same fuel, taking it out of the same bowser as we filled up the planes. It does make a smell that is aesily detected in ic engines as does the rapeseed oil I use. regards bri.

Some of the Lancaters were built at Metropolitan- Vickers in Trafford Park where my father worked, about a mile from where we lived..

brought a tear to my eye, I remember being in a lancaster bomber flying out of Raf Shawbury near Shewsbury when I was an air cadet. bri

I found this on ebay, looks very nice pity it dont have lpg, would have been perfect. bri...

Hi, I think you will find that the squeak is coming from the bearing on the shaft where the wiper arms fits, one of the two wears rather badly. If you pull of the little cover you can put some oil down ( not wd 40 to thin)the shaft to stop it but really you need to take off the rotating fitting...

Well I did 150 mile trip without the hubs all ok no noise. The discription Terranobreakershropshire gave about running over a brick was spot on, he has provided me with another hub and washers, I have cleaned greased and fitted the two hubs and all is well. The terrano lives another day...

I did! but they they were far to small and did nowt. Bought a couple of terrano ones off ebay. dont forget they re only glued on to the mount, well worth putting a couple of heavy duty cable ties around them so you dont lose anymore. regards bri

I am running around without the front locking hubs at the moment (hope the snow stays on the hills) whilst waiting for a hub to arrive from a club member who breaks terranos. Just codgitating after lunch about how the freewheeling hubs work and as one wheel rotates clockwise and the other...

they stay on until the engine warms up. I had two faulty on my terrano and although it started it ran very lumpy for the first mile or so depending on the air tempreture.

sounds like it could be one or more of the glowpugs, they help the engine when it is cold. there is a download to explain how to test and replace them. regards bri

well it looks as though you are correct. We had a long standing invite to a party last night which we didnt want to miss. It was a ten mile round trip down country roads and it was wet, so off we went in 4x4, ran as normal in 4X4 every thing ok. ( bit of a pig manoeuvring in 4x4 in a pitch black...

Heralds were known to flip over if taking roundabouts to fast when the rear inside suspension folded o and tucked the wheel under the car. We had a convertable herald which we drove all over europe including Giberaltar and yugoslavia, this was before motorways so it was quite a rough ride, no...

yep thats a good discription, bump, bang and wizing clicking sound, they shouldn't be driving in 2x but thats whats happening. Hope its a fine day tomorrow and I will whip them off. bri

I will try that tomorrow but not convinced its them causing the noise. It is a very loud noise and the bump and bang feels very solid. thanks for your interest. bri

Hi again. went out for a thrash up the hills. started in 4x4 ran fine stopped put in 2x started and after a while the noise and bump came back. Back in 4x4 up the hills down the rough icy road, fine. back in 2x along the road and the loud clicking comes back, instead of stopping I decided to put...
