weapon lxxxi's jeep 12

[weapon lxxxi]

I know pure luck, early home from work so I thought I would pop in. Ah yea Morris I didn't think of them, I've used them before too so I know they ship to the uk

[weapon lxxxi]

It's P**sing it down here at the moment, & on the way back to the jeep in the carpark at work I actually checked the back seat before getting in for a dilophasauraus ha haa no joke! I even said to myself When I got in "dick" & my windows where steaming up. Oh it's the little things eh!!!

[weapon lxxxi]

finally have the bullbar off! those touque bolts are a pain in the ass! 2 came out 2 did not (& in attempting to do one i nearly lost an eye ) so i angle grinded the top one so i could remove the bar atleast.

still gotta get the thred out somehow....

also i came up with a brainwave, we all know i hate my "caravan" lights on the front so i did this.....
ripped them off & they fit just right behind where they are meant to be as a temp fix till i can find the correct stuff & get it ready for paint

just 3 holes to fill

see what i did? the old box is behind with side light (needed for legal reasons) is still visible

wooo

caravan lights???? are those what we call "daytime running lights" IE always on lights for "safety?"

What's the regulation?

[weapon lxxxi]

Ha no, (I'd post a pic but I'm not going to able to get to my comp for a few days). where the holes are now on my front flares used to be these ugly big box's, one side signal light the other side light. (check previous pics of my jeep u will see them bleugh!!!) I call them caravan as that's what they look like they came off of.
Over here for our MOT we have to have side lights a dimmer smaller bulb along with the head light. I don't know why because most people just put them both on at the same time!?!
Are you saying the amber square in the front of yours is the running light? Is it not used as a signal light too?

[COBrian]

Well always on "daytime running lights" are not required. Headlight = headlight, yellow light is turn signal.

But if you need to have a light on all the time, why not try to do that with the round "fog" lights?

[weapon lxxxi]

Ah right.

No my spots are my high beams for country lanes then when I get the jabscos BOOMSHAKALACKAH! Daytime at night ha

[weapon lxxxi]

New annoying noise!!! Every 6months it seems!
so driving it home on fri night from work to sitting ther until Saturday night something has broken
The noise seems to be metal on metal and comming from the rear quarter I think? It drives the same tho so I have no idea. See what happens on the way to work 2moro. All this stopping me paint it grrr!!!

[weapon lxxxi]

Yet another set back . The exhaust I can put up with (for now) but I heard a new knocking cralled under and one of my rear shocks seems to be in the horizontal position!! ie sheard off at the top! I'll get pics in day light but grrr!!!
Is this an expensive fix anyone? I take it I will have to replace both... ?

Most repair expenses are from labor to get it done. If you can get it done yourself then it's just parts and time and as you know the problem there is no diagnostics required

Haynes manual....well worth the money!!
