30 goes to battery via fuse 87 output to lights 85 trigger from main beam 86 ground 85 and 86 can be switched around the way you have it connected now, the relay actually has no function except acting like a switch. the current on all 4 lights is running through the same wiring and fuse. effectively you may as well have connected the lights up directly to the main beams. No wonder it's not right. Will get it switched round Cheers.

sounds like you wired it up incorrectly This is the relay. I’ve put, number 30, live to lights 87 trigger from main beam Then the other two to positive and ground. Disconnected for now, but it all works ok.

Wired up the lights in the roof. Although I’m worried about battery drain as, as soon as I connect the live to the battery the relay it clicks but the lights don’t go on. Then only when I flash full beam does the trigger wire operate the lights. I didn’t think it would click until I operate the full beams, I’ve put a meter across the battery, the reading doesn’t change when connected or not.

This garage build really needs finishing off soon, so started getting a few bits sorted, Todo list Replace car port roof Build shelter over the z4 Gravel it all Finish off the rear gates Fit some lighting. So First attempt to drive around the lane to access my garage. Churned it up pretty well, my neighbour has abandoned a nakkered Mondeo, it's not a neighbour I've ever seen or spoken too in the 2.5 years I've lived here, and I've never seen anyone come or go from that house, I could do with the mondeo moving as I can't reverse up to my garage to drop the gravel off with it parked there. Dug out along the edging stones and filled it back in with concrete, the stones kept moving when I drove over them, then the gravel will hopefully be just below the level of the stones so won't be much of a kerb to go over. Added some small battens to give a bit of extra support the the car port roof Also I had to slice open the carport roof as the wind was tearing it down, will replace with clear pvc sheets. Be nice to get the drum of cable off the patio so will look at getting it connected into the fuse box if I can

I might have the steering shroud. I’m on holiday until Tuesday will see if I can find it once back.
If your struggling with the bumper bolts. Threaded rod with some domed nuts doesn’t look bad.

Looks good.
I might have some bumpers but I'm in Birmingham, I bought a few sets to make them into front quarter bumpers, made one set and sold them, might still have a couple of bumpers. Will need to have a look.

Found this on it when I got home from work, I'm not using it as my main car until April as I have use of a lease car until then, maybe someone has spotted that it doesn't move too much and thought I might want rid.

Do quotes starting from a month in advance. I'm just sorting insurance for a car, £550 to start it tomorrow, £455 to start it on 28th of march, pays to sort the insurance a month early it seems,

Fixed the big dent a bit, not brilliant but a bit better Can't use it yet as if I buy road tax I have to buy February even though there's only a couple of days left.

lol. Basically a heavy duty whoopie cushion that you can pump up it expands behind the dent and pops it out, I can’t get behind the top part of the dent with anything else.

This is the worst dent. I want to get some of it out, that's saturdays job, will see how I get on, I've got a hydraulic pusher so will hopefully get some out, and the pillar behind the passenger door needs some work Bought this too, it pops the dents out but they bounce back, so might have to wedge something in the gap

I was watching this on ebay, I quite fancy one of these little trucks - nearly everything else I fancy is out of my budget. A lowering kit from the states looked quite reasonably priced. I've wanted a pick up for years, now I've got one, I'm going to see if it what I want long term, and I'll probably look to buy something a little bit newer. This one has come with pretty much every MOT, loads of paperwork, cambelt done in 2008 so I think I'll replace it, although I've never done a cambelt before. I've got other car stuff to get sort before I can start messing with the truck. Check Facebook selling. There's a nice b2500 for £950 on there at the moment.

Picked it, done close to 100 miles, all seems fine, no rattles, smoke or anything, not very good for motorway driving with its gearing though. It's not fast either but chugs along ok. The seller hadn't cleaned it in years, interior was a mess, spiders webs and all sorts along with plenty of building dust. So gave it a quick clean. The dents, I should be able to get a few of them out to improve its appearance a bit. Wheels will give the a re paint, re paint the tow bar, will get some under seal under it too. Will look for a better drivers seat or some seat covers. I only planned to have it a couple of months to sort my garden but have already think it's great so might keep it longer.
