The bulb holders for my rear lights, sidelights and indicators are giving up the ghost. Firstly the recesses that take the staggered bayonets on the bulbs are so worn that the bulbs are just not being held, and secondly the sprung end disc with the bulb connector(s) have lost all their spring, makin...

Thanks Dormy…I have new runners on the way. If I fit the top runner, pack it with shins if needed, then screw it in place then I’ll avoid deforming the runner sideways and should be OK.

I’ve just watched a YouTube video where the pane is fitted into the fixed bottom runner and the loose top runner then that runner is screwed in place…I guess that would be a good place for me to start

Help/advice appreciated: the top runner on my driver’s side sliding pane has so much sideways play that the glass falls out when open. Part of the problem is my own making ie the only way I can get the pane in is to push on the top runner sideways for the glass to clear it. The usual approach with t...

Thanks Neil, as always

Hi, can you get the crush washer for the gearbox and axle drain bolts? I can get them for all other drain bolts but can only find flat non crushable ones for this biggest size… Also, I ordered new drain bolts for the axles and they look correct but the thread must be different…are there various opti...

I know Ridgy, hard to imagine. But it was pitch black, no interior lights on, just a 600m drive to ferry check-in, and all straps and ropes on the tilt flap in place. We didn’t even think to look in the back. When he was discovered he’d hidden under our bags and blankets. Lesson learned to be more v...

Well, I’ve finally got my lights fixed - turns out it was the 6-way switch. Tried rinsing it out with contact spray and got a ton of rubbish out, but didn’t dare take it apart and it didn’t resolve the problem. Bit the bullet and fitted a new one. But that was only after I negotiated a week in Norma...

;) ;) Thanks Victor, I appreciate you taking the time for all that. I leave for Normandy in a couple of weeks so thankfully I have time to fix. I’ll check all I can, then if no luck I’ll head over to Safari Engineering (with hand signals 😉). They suggested I try bypassing/direct wire the IR switch t...
