ok - then the fob is/has given notice...I am sure you have replaced the battery with limited joy? better to replace the fob as sometimes the little button/switch thingys have had it. you do get aftermarket replacements (again just need to match codes or dip switch settings)

am I correct that the Key (only) can unlock only one door - whereas the fob (remote) does not unlock all/any/one door?

and you want to change, why?

Sound like the key fob is the culprit here... try the spare key? You can get replacement keys but they need to be coded to your ignition first.

it would make an excellent restoration candidate - if that floats your boat....

Curiouser and curiouser.... it is left-hand drive. According to all knowledgable Wiki - the few LHD that were produced, mainly for the Dutch Army, but for the Dutch, they put the indicator lights on top of the light-box.... So who would want a military Lightweight LR (signals type) -...

Angle Grinder usually works.....:innocent:

just by way of clarity: All diesel tanks will accumulate water to some extent. Diesel (hydrocarbon) is hygroscopic by nature pulling moisture from the air that enters your tank when the fuel level lowers. Such moisture is normally held in a micro-suspension (for low concentrations) to splitting...

I would be very suspicious of the diesel source (in terms of cleanliness and water control) - maybe change the source for a few tanks?

This is where the power washer comes in...if possible hot water with a strong detergent, followed by cold water rinsing and flushing with some clean diesel/paraffin.... you have to get rid of the sludge, otherwise it just grows again didn't want to mention - its a whole lot easier when the tank...

Steel cable weighs a ton, rusts all the time and then spirals before kinking.... but when pulling through rocks or deep mud it works... On the flip side Dynema rope spools better allowing a longer length rope on the winch (apart from all the other positives) (( the suns screws the rope...

if you have bacteria (fungus type growth) means you also have water... this now means you have to find /stop the source of the water. Obviously, the tank needs to be cleaned (rip, strip, power wash) including the lines and everything else wherever the fuel flowed through... Next step is the...

no signs of a leak? after fully priming the diesel line (hand pump) - try cracking a line, in turn, at or near each of the injectors to release any pent up air/bubbles (similar to bleeding brakes). this will entail priming again for each cyclinder. continue bleeding until just liquid appears (no...

ok -who is right?

Might not be Petrol as the contaminant - could be paraffin, furnace fuel, off spec jet - any one of these things (whatever was last carried in the delivery tanker)? 3/4 fill a clear glass jam jar with the stuff out of your vehicle tank - and observe. water will separate out quite quickly (water...

check for water contamination... check filters? maybe the last fill was not (clean/pure) diesel?

below the ashtray look for the two screws that hold the whole lot together. remove them and then things clip apart working from the bottom up...(after removing the knobs and slides)

my 2 c worth yr troopy dash is the plastic version, I presume? there should be an Illumination bulb in the back which illuminates the logos. This bulb is a small push-in "grain-of-rice" type thing. Sometimes they rattle loose - or the bulb has blown - or the fuse?

What about the idea of using a small tablet/palmtop semi/permanently fixed which can be utilized for GPS/Mapping, Music, Rear-view camera and so on. Would be large enough to not need reading glasses (yes, yes not now!) somewhat decent battery life when not directly powered. Plus (with a decent...

Wires pulled out of screws in connector socket - probably as a result of some tight reversing?

Check U-joints - when last greased? prop slip joint? check the Clutch wishbone lever mechanism at the side of the bellhousing for rust/crap that may be involved The Cutch is hydraulically driven. With this mileage, the master cylinders may be tired.

maybe your seat belt tabs give you a clue to production date?

For me, part of this issue is the mindset that because I have these "toys" I can "relax" as the buried-in-sand scenario is covered..... We have experienced both types..negatively. The roll-up type as well as the plastic board type with the tyre slipping on the surface. The plastic version has...

Yes the dune sand will humble anyone...hope you had a decent spade......I have been transporting these sand mats that look like strips of tyre rolled into about a 1meter length for about a year now. Do you think these things would help in this type of situation?

Sounds like a plan...:)

wrt Sound systems Ol Man 'yota never really considered sound systems to be too high on the priority list on the 70 series....the placement of two speakers in the dash, nice and high, meaning less damage from high-level water excursions. the newer 76 has additional speakers mounted in the rear...

just fitted 285/75/16 to my 71 - standard suspension, std alloy rims- no issue with clearances (because the average marketing mentality here is we sell what's on the floor - take or leave it...grgrg) wanted 245/85/16 but not prepared for the run-a-round (33"give or take a decimal point)

water in fuel?

update: there are two types of windscreens (amongst others) those with the permanent black surround and those without....(new models have the black version including a little VIN number cutout)

Also check that there is nothing impeding the gear shift lever (like a lost ball point pen....) (experience!)

First check for the obvious issue from underneath - any missing or bent connector arms? check for transmission wind up. jack up to free one front wheel. Now try transfer lever. Especially if the vehicle has rarely seen 4 lo things can be a bit sticky. (Obviously, do not start the engine - it may...

I do not know enough about compasses! they are fascinating things. I know you get some compasses fitted into car dash setups - have they weakened the magnets in order that they are not affected by the metal surroundings? Are they pseudo-electronic versions? Ritchie was not kidding when their...

any idea about the size differences compared to the new 70 series (windscreens all the same size 70-71-76-78-78)?

probably 75mm by 75mm

76 sold in RSA Now we have a 71 (4.o V6) and operate out of Saudi
