  7. An American ready made converter:- How It Works Takes power from the tail light circuit, wire #21, and converts it to 12 volts. That 12 volt power is fed into relays that are triggered by wires# 22-460 and 22-461, the left and right stop/turn circuits. The 12 volts from the power converter and relays are fed to a civilian trailer connector. The tractor versions have additional relays that provide separate turn and stop lighting circuits for semi trailers. https://www.xm381.com/Mil_to_Civi_Info.html Would it show indicator failure?
  8. LED 10v-30v bulbs can be used on both 12 volt and 24 volt lighting systems. https://bedazzledledlighting.co.uk/product-category/led-bulbs/ Not sure about the use of LED bulbs in trailers as they are technically a vehicle MOT failure.
  9. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) UK has reaffirmed its commitment to vehicle security, ensuring vehicles are protected and updated with the latest technology to prevent thefts. https://media.jaguarlandrover.com/news/2023/11/jlr-invests-vehicle-security-reduce-thefts

  12. A few ideas in the Yesterday's Tractors Discussion Forums. The Corn Head Grease* is a new product to me. https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=rrtips&th=34559 *Corn Head Grease has superior water tolerance and resists water washout, exhibits good high temperature capabilities and has outstanding mechanical stability by retaining its consistency in hard use.
  13. A variation of the origin:- When a horse kicks up debris it is also referred to being “dashed up”. So the board on the front is to protect form the horses dashing, hence dashboard.
  14.
