    3rd Brake Light - How Can I Get This?

    Just a note that any early second hand ones you may find often have dim or LEDs that don't work , also they can be difficult to remove and sometimes break the cover getting it off . You could order one from a VDJ 76 in Australia but a less interesting fact is the led ass is made in China . Dave

    79 series questions

    stripped spline I'm very keen for pics,can you go back to the mechanic and get the old parts? This transfer is not the old split case one like most 70,s as the 1hdfte runs the H box it will have HF2A or simmiler transfer like the 80 series which is very tough. Dave

    The vents do serve as a good purpose of ventilating the cab but if you check closely , when you wash the car or drive in the rain , water pools in the bottem of the vent ( yes i know there is a one way rubber flap but it doesnt keep the water out) and then condensates up into the roof hence...

    What are decent batteries these days?

    70 series cruisers kill batterys because of the batterys location and heat in the engine bay . 2H and 3F being the worst as the exhaust is next to them. AGM,s and sealed batterys are a no good in a 70 cause of the underbonnet heat and cant be topped up when they lose water . A good...
