You need to remove the nd from the end of https://thefixinglibrary.blogspot.com/2 … rrels.html for the link to work, fyi :-P

I run phillips racing vision bulbs in my van, made a big difference and not blinding people like bodged/illegal HID does.

Edit: I'm sure the requirement is they need to be self levelling and have a cleaning mechanism, I know alot of MOT places will let it go but the traffics/vosa won't if you're bilnding them and/or have an accident because you've blinded the folk coming towards you.

Nearly every car with bodged HID gets a full on make sure they seen it w4nker hand gesture, especially if they have needlessly blinded me! :-P

Jesus that's rough, I managed to knock mines off with a mallett without an issue! - Be careful if using CV joints or shafts from JR driveshafts, you need to make sure its a 27 spline CV or it will not fit into the hub properly and or at the gearbox end, when driving you'll hear a clicking noise as the CV is not seated correctly due to the splines.

When I removed mines I think it was just 4 normal 10mm bolts, about 15-20mm long, they may have been 12mm but I do remember thinking they were quite small given the weight of the cage/ladder thing - Hope that helps 4 months later lol.

Paying more money for the extra weight (glass) imho...but aircon would be nice, and a turbo... hmm lol

Christ wish I'd seen this, for that money I'd of had it lol - These are slow as fk but the build quality is not too bad, I kind of like them all be they challenging at times.

I've been battling cooling issues with mines which leads to terrible fuel economy (18mpg if i'm lucky and lucky to get to 60mph), i turns out the thermostat in it was a circoli and was maybe like 2mm too small in diameter, the other defining difference is the rubber ring seal has a slit in it so that it fit over the outer edge of the thermostat, anyway I tried the cheap circoli and normal ring seal (no slit to fit over thermostat outer) and sealed the whole housing up with some train grade sealant lol, anyway, engine would still not go past 70c (this included a new sensor on thermostat) I think the coolant was blowing past the thermostat I installed, today I installed a Quinton Hazel thermostat that had the correct rubber ring seal and this fitted perfectly in to the thermostat housing once fitted around the thermostat...

But I now have the issue you have where coolant is purging while I'm trying to bleed the radiator. Dillemma... I did try driving it this time round instead of bleeding it in a parking space, maybe that was the wrong thing to do? I'll try it the other way tomorrow and will report back if purge and/or if manage to keep at 90c.

Hi guys, sorry for the long time posting, got pissed off with it and almost scrapped it, but I'm just a drive shaft and a driverside wishbone with new ball joint away from using it again after welding sills etc etc.

It may be slow and need twek timing wise with the fuel economy, but I've invested so much time in this "cheap camper/bike van" that I'll need to keep it and MOT it on the 21st of September...it ain't no Caddy but will do for now.

Edit: Aside of mechanical I've been sorting carpet, bubble/alloy insulation, 12v LED's, split charge, side vents etc etc, will eventually show pics, usually too busy with work and trying to do things to van and etc etc etc don;t always take pics, I can perhaps show some of the driveshaft etc fails after thinking i can change a boot and then get a hand full of needle bearings etc etc etc lol.

Hi bud, I rarely go to SCB these days as their prices are terrible, not sure of a breakers at camps, used to be one up greendykes in Broxburn if that's where you mean maybe? - I ended up at Jocky Campbells in Bathgate/Armadale as things are usually free, £1 or £20 for things like starter motors. - They do have a 04 plate expert in just now but not much left of it to be honest.
