tirantious

It does thanks

tirantious

So just skip the plug and connect the two wires together? Relays got fitted at the auto sparky so shouldn't burn out any more but they never fixed the plug or wire

tirantious

Yup upgrded headlights sorted the power feed so shouldn't get hot anymore just need to fix the plug guy at repco was useless so I guess I might try the wrecker next

tirantious

Had a small issue where the lights wouldn't go and the high beam light was permanent on. I took it down to an auto sparky and they reckoned they're fixed it well two days later and the same issue occurred. I pulled the dash apart and tracked it back to this burnt out plug just wondering what the bes...

tirantious

got a warrent for the l200 no idea how

owell gives me another 6 months to save for a new truck that is if it doesn't explode by then.

tirantious

took the old mitsi in for a warrent fearing that there would be to many issues to bother spending the money. only issues were shagged brakes (every warrent), right hand wheel bearing, both upper ball joints and the uj on the front drive shaft. isnt going to be overly expensive so ill get the work do...

tirantious

prefer shims just so i can quickly pull them on or off. are the washers road legal lol? and they dont fall out so long as the idiot at the tyre shop remembers to tighten the nut back up so that the top arm doesnt try escaping again.

tirantious

im just after maybe half a dozen 1mm camber shims for the old l200 whilst i play with a few things. cant seem to find any online and im buggered if the local tyre shops getting another cent out of me.

tirantious
