Re: fixing up guttering

Re: faulty speed/odometer
jake - cheers will lift it off tomorrow and have a look. Also....check your wheel where the cable comes through the centre. Its retained by an 'e' clip which can fall off, and the cable work its way out of the wheel centre cap which would also cause this. If the square hole in the cap has rounded, y...

different sump plug
my sump plug isn't the type shown in the haynes manual or the wiki. you need to use an alan key to undo/tighten it. plus the sump plug seal i bought from JK doesn't fit it. I've had to re-fit the existing one. it's about 20mm wide and the space in the middle is about 18.5mm. any ideas why mine is di...
