Hi Tezza,
Welcome to the club.
No your not mad, there is a meet at Pickering this weekend so quite a few are there.
Not heard of the Huntsman conversion before.
First thing I d check is your battery, how old is it?
Apart from that, some lights are dim, indicators could be an earth and wipers no idea.

aya,
welcome.
Do you mean you want slow wipers? A few of us have installed intermittent wipers as i don't think they come as standard. There are instructions on the Wiki (link above). Same goes for headlights really, a few have upgraded theres. keep meaning to get mine done but haven't got roudn to it yet. you kind of get used to it.
I too have not heard fo the huntsman conversion. any pics?

kathy[ /quote]pics coming soon too many pixels to upload will stick a hammer into my camera and take some more today!!!

I had a problem with the lights & indicators, check the crown earth, you'll find it behind the glove box near the fuses. gave the connections a clean & all's been well since.

Welcome Tezza. You'll find lots of willing help & advice on this forum. As for dodgy lights/wipers etc yeah it's pretty normal. They're old vehicles and its all tin & rubber. Get to know your van and try to think practically rather than dreaming of what could be. Huntsman is a new one to me, never heard of it before but it looks like a low flying yacht landed on the top of it!
Cool though, hope you have many great times in her.
