hella style rear lights

Hi all I have hella style lights but, upon opening there are no reflectors. Nada, none, nought, just black plastic which is great for absorbing light rather than reflect it out the lenses. Is this normal, am I normal or perhaps I’m expecting too much...any thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Buying a powered truck mirror

Cheers Rob, this is sounding interesting. I did find a loom plan somewhere on 80-90 so I shall have a go at fiddling with that. I guess, once I have a relay and a switch, its just a matter of picking up a live from somewhere it it? or do you just chuck a live back to the fuse box and pick up one of ...

Re: Front Camber

We are quite fortunate in that the correct camber setting just happens to be zero on a 2WD, this means that you can set the camber accurately with a medium 30cm spirit level. You will need spacers fastened top and bottom to avoid the tyre and touch the wheel rim. The pre-requisite being that the va...

Re: Repairs worth doing with the cam belt

Back in the day: Valve clearances where done every 12K and so the cork gasket/rubber end seals were automatically changed. Trouble is only a few 'reputable' garages follow correct tappet clearance checking procedure nowadays so this incredibly important task is neglected, which leads to poor engine...

Re: Fractured clutch line

Front Camber

Hi All I tried checking the technical forum and the wikki - can you help confirm if I have this right? You can adjust the front camber by adjusting the bolt on the top wishbone - is that correct? Could anyone submit a photo for me to identify the correct bolt and talk me through how you do it exactl...

Re: Fractured clutch line

Just out of interest, should I worry about my break pipes? :shock: Do you know how old they are? If not, then try a bit of curiosity, if not full blown worry...
