Gotta love the SJs

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Gotta love the SJs

Post by 88SJ » Sat Jun 21, 2014 3:57 pm

Give me a classic / old car any day. And we all know how easy the SJs are to work on

My daughter has a new Beetle and the near side head light bulb needed replacing. Had a spare 5 mins the other day so had a quick look a decided it would take much longer!!

You have to remove the battery...once you get to it that is...to get at the release lever that allows the headlamp unit to slide out. Stuff that so made a 'tool' out of coat hanger and just kept adjusting it until the lever could be reached!!

40 minutes later job done!! Probably would have been quicker to remove the battery

Could have had the engine out of a classic Beetle or an SJ in less time..!!..

Remove the battery and you may have to unlock the radio.
