Tried to track the source of an engine oil leak and found a loose glow plug lead.


I didn't know glow plugs leads could leak oil. Twisted Evil


Very good...Maybe the glow plug lead was leaking electricity instead... 1999 Defender TD5 110

First time off road for the auto today on a green lane. It did it with ease, I had to use low ratio when it was manual for some parts, completely forgot to engage low today it was that good, TC come on a few times but nothing dramatic Smile BM52

Still damaged unfortunately. I've been short of cash and time lately. Will probably get it done in May.

I also still owe Chris for my clutch lock! Geoff

Converted the high level brake light to flash ten times before coming on hard. If stuck in traffic it works like usual. Makes me feel a bit more secure. Don't know if it's legal, so I put in a by-pass switch for the MOT.

Not legal under UK law.

(Exception - if it happens to be type approved under European law then it cannot be ruled illegal in the UK (which is why it is now common to see cars with the daft and pointless feature that turns the foglights on at low speed on corners. This is illegal under UK law, except that the law that renders it illegal is itself illegal under EU law. Make sense of that if you can!). I do not think that a flashing high-level brakelight is legal in Europe though.)

Just changed the front brake pads, took up a bit of wheel bearing play, greased the propshafts and checked engine fluid levels. Damn, the engine oil was high, drained off just over a litre! I just so hope that I had overfilled it at the last service(pouring out of a 5gal drum is not that scientific, I should know better, instead of measuring it in in jugs) and not the injector seals leaking. They were done about 30k miles ago. I've left the overfill in a clear plastic bottle, would the diesel, if there is some in there, float to the surface? In the meantime I'm going to be paranoid about the dipstick Shocked

Finally got around to wiring up my LED light bar......... Very Happy. Got the missus to turn it on when it got dark, and all I could think was "By the beard of Zeus that is bright!!". Just need to get the roo-bars back on and then will have the perfect light set-up Thumbs Up (for me anyway).
