Dave - I would say you have LEDs in your caravan and landrovers are set up to use incandescent globes in the trailer - these provide the resistance to activate the towing programme in the vehicle. Hence the pulsing in the trailer - as you have indicated you needed a pulse buster - I made my own for ...

Thanks John.

Hi all,

If you are in Australia and have a few standard Haflinger wheel nuts you would be willing to sell and post to me please send me a PM. I am in Canberra.

I am after 5 or 6 nuts, the same as in the attached pic.
Thanks

Garry

South Wales to the Cotswolds so drive it

I will have to go to the local German Club in Canberra and order a meal to work out what was on those food plates :lol: Not our normal fair - not seen white sausages and those pretzels are100 times the size of what we have in little packets here. Not sure what they were pouring over the pretzels. Ga...

John,

Thanks for your work on this .

As mentioned in the other two active threads today - is all OK for me now

I just posted on another thread and it was OK - so here is fingers X.

All OK this time too - John what did you do?

I must admit I have not had your issue - my lever is what I consider normal though on some occasions I do have trouble getting into some lower gears - but I put that down to me moving the gear lever too quickly for the long linkage to cope and it baulks. I find double shuffling helps sometimes. I wo...

Yes John is right and I missed it - clutch needs to be adjusted correctly.

Most early gearboxes of any make do not have synchro on first or reverse - includes early landrovers and jaguars. It is important that revs are not excessive so make sure revs are not excessive when trying to move into 1st or reverse. What you describe would indicate revs are too high and going into...

Thanks Julian - would make sense but does get a bit blowy in the cabin on that position - when you just pull the door it naturally goes to that position. I need to get a new canvas made so I will get the trimmer to make the canopy and doors so it does seal in that position. Cheers Garry PS - John re...

Hi John - I never noticed any issues but the Watch Dog gives a precise readout of what temps are doing on the engine. I soon learnt that coasting down a steep hill with no load and low revs, the engine gets much hotter than driving up the hill in lower gears and revs up high - the opposite to what y...

A couple of years ago I fitted a engine watchdog system so I can monitor the temperature of the engine. I have the sensor mounted to one of the head bolts so I get a readout of the metal temperature of the engine. IMG_20181117_181248.jpg Having run it for a while now I have learnt that the engine ru...

When you close your doors, do you pull them all the way in so the sliding latch is completely on the inside like this pic. PXL_20220708_055539240.jpg Or do you only close so the sliding latch is in this position. PXL_20220708_055554450.jpg I use the top position as it pulls the door in nice and clos...

Is different to my late model swb - mine lies on its side under the rear foot well.

My 73 also has round mirrors.

If overall gearing is maintained, there is not much advantage in having the 1400cc Datsun engine at the back - still redlines at 75-80kpm.

Wadda you complaining about - its only the skin :roll: . You imports from elsewhere get worried over nuffin :lol: Do you know what brand it is - though hard to tell, the skin looks brown olive and not a python - taipan comes to mind. I had a few run ins with them when I lived in Cairns - here in Can...

Given all the work to do to put in the VW gear, is it really worth the effort to only go to the 83mm bore size rather a bit bigger which takes the same amount of work.
