Lost Left headlamp, short to ground. GQ/Y60
As title...does anyone know if there's a common failure point on this wiring?
The haynes shows that the RH is directly earthed, but the LH is earthed through a "dip/dim module"... any clues where I might find that?

Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)
Ah, correction to my initial post. It is the turbo engine. Was reading about the harmonic balance delete. What is the real benefit? From what I have read, just removing the balance belt, would: a) possibly increase engine vibration but b) reduce resistance for the motor That's pretty much the gist ...

Looks pretty tidy. Those engines benefit from deleting harmonic balance shaft, EGR, and adding turbo!

Re: What so the 2 temperature senders attached to the radiator do?
Couldn't tell ya, I have no such senders on the TD42.
I'll have a nose through the manual and see if it mentions.
Presumably one tells hot and one tells cold, could be for intercooler/turbo/EGT sensor, or the lower one a water level alarm or...?
No loose wires/plugs there that look like they fit?

12.7 is low and may be drawing down too much current, causing voltage drop tripping out the cutoff.

FWIW I run a K&N washable/oiled filter in mine. Spend a lot of time on gravel, and manage to pick up all kinds of road grime sludgy crap as well. When performance (such as it is ) drops off I generally give it oil and filters.

Re: TD42 missing at 1800 rpm
If it's auto, I blame the box.
If not. How many KM since: Air cleaner? Injectors?
Check rubber lines/connections for vacuum leaks
There's also a secondary gauze filter atop the IP. Remove and clean.

Definitely keep it in lower gear. And If you can fit a trans-cooler, that's even better.

Re: loud crack from front hub area
Yup sounds like sticking hub. In the olden times you would have to reverse off them. 93 shouldn't be an issue though. Tearing them down isn't hard and if they haven't been done since 93, probably overdue.

Re: THUMP felt on acceleration
I know you discount backlash, but check it. Jack the back, 4th gear, have your apprentice turn it forward, then back. Look for slop in the uni's, loose hangers, if it's in diff then it'll have to be felt through the hub.

cheers guys. Have access to a lathe but not skilled up enough on it so don't want to make up such critical parts.
