nowt wrong with the headlights squire that was on sidelights! loving the square lights on your bus tho! Ahh .. that explains the candle like appearance! :lol: I like the way the square lights work with the boxy shape of the wedge .. got some fogs as well now. Your SA wrap around grilles look good 8...

Looks great - ready for a trip too with some drinks in the chiller. Just need to get those headlights on relays and some brighter bulbs (Philips Xtreme highly recommended!

Here's mine for comparison!

Great Ad - Hope you sell the Syncro soon ... pity I don't have the spare cash right now as it looks great fun - spending on another project but that is another story!

Thanks AJP - pity my local Wickes is 21 miles away ... I'll try to pick some up on my trip to South Wales next week.

Isn't the PD system rather complicated, using very high pressure and if fitted wrongly could spray fuel around ... fire hazard etc? Any comments?

Sounds like a good plan - I have a Pug HDI with Moon trip mileage on it and a mate who has been to Mars in his! I guess you need to convert a diesel T25 rather than a petrol one?

OK Gaz - I would isolate the dimming switch, bypassing it and just wire the instrument panel lights directly then. Dimmer switches are known to breakdown as they get older. You might want to measure the current draw when you connect up the lights (if you have a multimeter) - I would not suggest you ...

Ahhh .. so the circuit that is causing the problem is not the headlamp one but the instrument panel lighting. Have the LED's got a resistor fitted - see here for guidance on resistors http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/led.htm Sound like something is shorting in the LED circuits or no resistor i...

I would check the wiring between the switch and the lights - not easy of course but the smoking suggests there is a short to earth causing the switch to overheat as large currents flow through it. Perhaps the first place to look is around the fusebox and then behind the headlamps for any wires with ...

The topic of water powered cars was raised in the letters section of my engineering magazine this week ... The writer suggested the I.Mech.E. should consider accrediting the technology ... the website he mentioned was http://water-for-fuel.com.cn and the vendor has an email address of "runyourc...
