So after the fun and games with the wheel the cruiser has been running ok, had a nice holiday in the Isle of Wight, Jack thinks it makes a great sunshade. Lately the smell of coolant has been getting worse, and when parked I get coolant dripping from the drivers side mud flap. The leaking...

Does it have dynamic stability control or similar? I had the same problem with a BMW, you drove along a straight road and suddenly the stability control would try and straighten the car out with the abs brakes, it turned out to be a faulty Yaw sensor that was located under the passenger seat...

You can get the reciever hitch stuff from here... https://www.watling-towbars.co.uk/import_vehicle_towbars.html But on a post 1997 vehicle you should have a type approved towbar, however the reciever hitch is a very versatile system!

If the hazard switch is unplugged the indicators wont work either. Don't know if this helps. Does the little illumination come on on the hazard switch?

I had the same noise recently, bronze bush in the stub axle was picking up on the CV and causing a really terrible noise, only happened every now and then though, it shakes the whole truck and is very loud.

I carry 8x4 sheets and long lengths on a modified van roof rack.

The wheels have a coat of zinc primer, then zinc galvanising spray, then 2 coats of lacquer so hopefully they will last ok, I didn't do the machining a chap at work cut it on the lathe for me, it was very time consuming though it would be much quicker done on a milling machine but I don't have...

New wheels speedily delivered from Chapel Gate... Some shot blasting and painting later looking a bit better... Quick partial strip of the inlet manifold to replace the failed flashlube tube, I found 6mm nylon air pipe was perfect, managed to re route some of the other pipes I wasn't...

Indicator cancelling ring?

Don't worry I will check he wears his P.P.E. Did some more little jobs this evening, I have been roasting in the car as the air con is still broken, and I am convinced the heater always blows slightly warm air even when it is on cold. Removed the air con evaporator box again and had a look in...

The spare wheel was buckled when I bought the car either from an accident or driving on a flat tyre. I will take this wheel off and see how it is, I can get it sand blasted and tig welded at work.

Loaded up to go camping and noticed some unusual lines on the front wheel, Another cracked alloy, cracked in the same place as the buckled spare, but this time across 2 seperate spokes. Drew a pencil line across the end of the crack to determine if it was getting any worse and loaded the...

The aircon pump will only power up if the pressure switch near the battery sees the pressure in the correct range, is your truck a petrol or diesel?

I think it is because I kept changing the axle oil to try and flush the moly grease from the axle. The wiper seals on the knuckle were actually keeping that lot in! I did a pirate rebuild with a new axle oil seal and fresh cv grease, but I dont expect it to last long, the bronze bush in the...

So greasy!!!

The isofix bracket is for a ford focus 2004-2011. I got mine from Ebay. They were never installed in Focus as standard so not much point going to a scrapyard to get one. Like this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F121199870418

Took the trailer tent out for its first trip which was also Jack's first camping trip. We had thunderstorms and heavy rain on Friday night, but we stayed dry, the tent material is very thick (poly cotton) I can back the truck up and use the kitchen and the opening front of the tent makes...

Hi!

Thats the good thing about the seat clipping into the base you sort the straps out inside the house then just clip the whole seat in. Also you can clip the car seat into the chassis of the pram and use it like a buggy.

Got my isofix baby seat mount in last week in the nick of time. Ford isofix bracket. Had to trim the foam back slightly and make 2 cuts in the backing for the hooks to go through. It is welded to the seat frame and to the seat belt mount of the seat. The seat belt also goes...
