Yeah, I adjusted it up so it runs nice and steady at 1000rpm.
It's nice! Slowly but surely the SJ is getting tuned up *just so*.
Only...
Left the sidelights on the other day. Came back from work tonight and everything is dead. Properly, utterly dead.

And/or a lorry battery...
I would like to go LED's all around, for the longevity/reliability. Eventually. But I guess this is also a good secondary reason!
I think I might wire up a switch in the door jam that sounds a buzzer when I open the door with the lights on.

I remember the Cadillac CTS-V being reviewed on Top Gear. The 'bongs' were the main talking point,

Mud monsters today.
Freakin' munched through everything. Nothing was coming close to stopping the SJ, except for...
...the fact that the clutch was on it's way out.
Acted as a ground anchor for
molehill a couple of times, and tugged out a disco.
Brakes were flawless - rear disc conversion definitely worth the time and effort.
Coming home, the clutch was slipping like a crazy thing. Crawled up to 45mph and that was top speed. Going up hills was "interesting"...
But Suzi got me home, and, bless her, I fell in love with the old gal all over again today. Freakin' awesome.

I bet it felt great to play out again didn't it?
A bit of a shame re the clutch, but far from the worst thing that could have happened.
Get a new one popped in, and get back out!!
