  1. Evening, everybody! The automobile in issue is a sedan model year 2003 E55, as stated in the headline. The light will sometimes turn on, but it will never remain on for any length of time. Is it as simple as removing the panel and the switch, and if it doesn't work, maybe some electrical spray? I have an upcoming mot, and I'm guessing that I won't pass if the light doesn't turn on when I activate it. When the ignition is turned on, the light will constantly turn on, but it will turn off when the engine is started. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
  2. It's not a problem because I'll be taking my caravan test soon after my driving test. Then do you think the TD5 is the best choice?
  3. Thankyou! I'll keep a look out for the chassis, but I believe you're correct when you state that the TD5 is probably the best choice for meeting my requirements.
  4. Hi everybody, At the end of the year, I want to get a Land Rover Defender 90 as my first automobile since I grew up with them and they are the best option for my location. I will be hauling up to 3.5 tonnes on a regular basis and driving 45 minutes each way on highways three times a week to go to and from school. I like off-roading and living in the country, where there are many hills with slopes of 33 percent or more. My previous thread asking a similar topic became too long, so I'm reposting it here, where the focus is squarely on the power plants. I have a question for you all: - why a 200tdi, - why a TD5, and - why not either?
  5. Everyone will give you a different recommendation, but rubber or EPDM appears to have less difficulties than fiberglass, and I believe this is because of how effectively it is done in the first place. If there is any room for mobility in the construction, do you think the rubber would be more accommodating as well? 🙂 Having said that, felt, if it is installed correctly, may endure for a very long period as well - anywhere from 30 to 40 years, depending on the environment.
  6. Yes, I wonder whether they no longer carry that part number. It was at RockAuto, however. There is only one available for $1.81 on a wholesaler closeout. Grab it right now!
  7. The Stant 45858 180-degree thermometer is another tool of mine. I set it up about five years ago, and it's still functioning well. Having a combination of a Stant 45858 and a Nissens 64029 radiator allows me to maintain a body temperature of between 170 and 180 degrees.
  8. I'm regrettably selling my Kenwood ka3020 amp from the 1990s, it comes with the original box, remote, and even the receipt, it's in perfect condition and has only had very little usage driving fantastic speakers, it's in great condition and has only had very minimal use. Photos are accessible, and a demo is possible if needed. £100 pls pm for photos as they won't let me attach
  9. I totally agree with Paul. I think they are called "technicians," and they will never be mechanics because all they know is what a computer tells them. Sad to say, the mechanic is a dying breed.
