i should have been an auto sparky, a few weeks ago i lost my full beam, and i was suspecting that the pink relay had died and possibly the yellow one from in the fuse box. , lucky enough i had a spare ones from the metros. Turns out things those were ok regardless, but the pink one i think was on its way, as it liked to make a noise and no lights would come on. That was after i changed the light switch, which i thought was causing this error. Anyway i have broke up and used my spare time off there to have a look at things more, I have ordered off a proper stalk, as that is damaged anyway. Bought a proper unit no cheap crap. I decided rather than pull the full nosh to pieces, i thought id just plug in and go from there. Plugged things in, and even a replacement bulb. I decided to disconnect the 3rd party loom, and sure enough the full beam came back on. So had a look at the loom, and i found that water had killed a relay. so one i removed from the fuse box, went in and all is well, and i have relocated the relays to stop things from going west again. Just as well i didn't replace anything further, as i was called out to rescue my dad. Brakes again! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Mam has had her 1st test drive out in BeaTie there, put her on the insurance, as i am suspecting another wild ride here again
She has sort of taken to her as a duck to water to a certain point. She has had to get used to a different gearbox and throttle pedal. Due to her going from a 200 TDI to the TD5. lucky for me i got the electrics sorted out isnt it Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

the splines on one of my wipers are starting to fail sadly, the wiper itself didn't move. My work mate was ill with laughter at me trying to tighten the nut, to see if the wiper arm would bite on the splines. Which it did lucky enough. So i decided to go for a little bit of a face lift, which came and also i bought replacement arms too if needed to revert back, I will get deploy the face lift at some point. But i cannot see it happening this weekend, as i will have to help get Terr back in action. I am been a Taxi at the moment, not like it bothers me, but its costing my mam bus fare and she is wanting to be away by the time i am getting up for work. ( she doesn't really need to be there at 5.30 ) Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

well today i decided while the weather was warmer, I decided to change the wipers over, and top up the juices.
The way my dad had put the wiper on the driver side was a joke, which i have now sorted with the new upgrade i think passenger side wiper is still a little higher up, but then again it might be how the photo is.

So I had those "smooth" arms, love the look but just couldn't get good clearance on the screen and put it down to them not applying enough pressure. How do you find them?

I found the pressure is the same compared to the old units, but the wiper blades seem better than the bosch units. i am pretty sure these are some sort of common rear wiper, like off a clio or a toyota. The metro lads used to change the rear wipers on metros for the Clio,
