Re: Headlight fuse or relay?

Failed the noise test so they want a new complete exhaust system.when I asked if it was a silencer that needed replacing he just walked away. 4000 revs indoors will always be noisy but on the road rarely gets over 2.5...Functionaries here take ...

Re: Headlight fuse or relay?

Yep here if it's fitted they test it. Although oddly enough they didn't test the rear window washer which although the wiper works the end that goes through the glass has perished and the plastic tube would have sprayed water everywhere except for where it should have. BTW has anyone removed a tow b...

Re: Headlight fuse or relay?

Headlight fuse or relay?

Very rarely if ever drive at night,just checking my lights for yearly ITV (Spanish MOT) side lights are working no main headlights but full beam works also fog lights don't appear to come on.Is there a relay somewhere or is it likely to be a fuse or connection?

Re: Renewing Gear Box Fluid

That post was the diffs,this is the gear box. ;) I read somewhere that if you overfill the gear box it can cause foaming,but the post I read wasn't Samurai specific.

Re: Renewing Gear Box Fluid

Did it along with the coolant,I'm in a mountainous area,so hard to find flat ground so I overfilled it by quite a lot,until I found a flatish area near a neighbours driveway.let it run out of the 12mm level plug until it was just dripping.Can much damage be done by over filling?

Re: OAT What does it mean

Here they just sell a 5 litre container of organic coolant,doesn't mention percentages of distilled water to add.As I'm in Spain near the coast it's only the coolant properties that interest me.
