Re: Rear Driveshaft just fell off!
I've had good results roughening up ordinary washers when I've had no other choice and they held fine but as Mocki says. you can drive home providing you have tools to do it.

Re: Rear Driveshaft just fell off!
Very very common. Lot of torque on those driveshafts and if they were not done up tight enough last time shaft was removed or CV joint replaced, they WILL work loose> usually you'll find one or two broken or bent. They also MUST have friction washers under bolt heads. You can improvise if they're mi...

Re: Head Light type
Some photos of fitment would be good. I never figured out how I could use them although my camper may be different from others

Re: Alternator problem
Seconded. Crimped connections are great but the solder helps protect the copper from the elements, which these cables are subjected to constantly.

Re: hella style rear lights
Rear lights are very poorly designed. The ULO ones only fare marginally better. I fitted LED panels to mine which almost completely fill each partition within the lenses and the lights are excellent now. More of a mod than plug and play but no regrets doing it as I can easily be seen at night now.

Re: Headlights went dead driving down a busy dark Fens road!
Stalk more likely if a stock system, as its carrying all the current. You'd be well advised to fit proper relays anyway. Fitting bulbs that draw more current will also finish off the lighting stalk if no relays are in the circuit.

Re: Solar panel recommendations
Aye, otherwise its cost a darned sight more because of the schoolboy errors made earlier on. I got 200 watt on a tintop ok. In fact on a very hot day the solar completely keeps up with a 12v fan inside

Re: Solar panel recommendations
If you want solar for the long term and not waste money on an 'experimental' setup that will end up stuck in the garage, go for massive battery and nothing less than 150 watts. I have 200 watts and an 180ah battery under rear seat. Batts fully charged even in Winter :D Newbies tend to dangle their t...

Re: Getting a good seal - exhaust manifold to head
Sealant won't hurt but it rarely lasts long. Had to use double gaskets a couple of times in the past though
