it could be the switch positions for the axle/tail lamp switch.................or it could be something else :confused: -

nah mate my singing is much worse!!! I know what you mean about the commentary........still I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What it doesn't show though, is that after the second phase of winching, the show officials decided to un-couple the bus and let it drive round the next corner............and get stuck all over again. -

The show organisers tried very hard to keep people out of the way! Luckily the army cadets were fairly good at crowd control..........for a change. -

question Land Rover S3 Lightweight side lights
bonnierocker replied to Rover8FFR's topic in British Vehicles
Hi Wayne, Not sure about MOD spec for lights but the side lights and the stop/tail lights go above the indicators on all the ex-mod landies that I own and all the landies(civvi and mod) that I have worked on. What year is your lightweight? Chris -

question Land Rover Series stop/tail light quality
bonnierocker replied to scruffyHerrbert's topic in British Vehicles
Ive had this problem at work on several series 111's and early defenders. Some were cured with extra earth wires and others were cured by fitting a new lamp assembly. also had a customer who had managed to put the bulb in the wrong way and this even melted the lens! hope this helps Chris -

question Scammell Pioneer Wiring Diagram
bonnierocker replied to Scammell4199's topic in Lubrication, Batteries & Electrics
Richard, Im new on here so hello to you and hello to everyone else. I have just completely rewired one of my pioneers and, as has already been mentioned, the wiring diagram is about as much use as a chocolate watch. If your still having fun with the wiring then this may help. Top terminal posts in fuse box are NOT bridged, they need bridging with heavy copper wire. The diagram shows the headlight earth connected to the 24v feed....ignore this wire it doesnt need it at all. The starter and dynamo are 24v everything else should be 12v. Fuse 1 and 2 are bridged, this is where the headlight feed comes from. Ignore 24v on the back of the light switch, its there for the starter button, not the lights. All earth posts in fuse box are bridged and need connecting to body or chassis. Brake lights were not fitted Indicators were not fitted (trafficator arm for left turn and a very log arm for right turn). If you take a feed from either fuse 1 or 2 and connect to the unused terminal posts in the top of the fuse box, then bridge them so that there is enough lives for brake lights, indicators etc you can run all your auxillary wiring from them. Hope this helps. I may have repeated some facts that others have already said, but the re-wire is still fresh in my mind, so if you have any questions then please ask. Chris PS it really caused a headache trying to wire it up, but now its done and everything works fine. -
