Guerilla Bumper-Repairs Vol. 1 - Hilux HL2

Cats-claws = eyesore. New bumper = £250. Solution:

Only the drill-copter will do for the 320-grit polyester sanding-pad.

Neatened and masked up, it's ready for Lord Lucan.

Expensive U-POL high-build bumper-primer sticks like glue to ABS-plastic, but does not adhere well to Tamara Ecclestone.

U-POL fancy textured bumper-paint, mid-grey. Yes, it's the shit. You would never, ever, not know there had not once been a bumper damage.

TD-22 Crossover Fitting Instructions: Worst translation ever.

I've seen some poorly advised English language translations on instruction-manuals in my time, mainly from Japan, but this one is from China and possibly the worst ever. By the way, the Oxford definition of 'aggrandiser' is something that increases the power, status or wealth of, or artificially enhances the reputation of. Right... I'm guessing that must mean Amplifier.

MIDE IN CHINA

1. When the deferred switch circuit exports a decrease pounding to the aggrandiser and bass cannon creation shaking off a lead plane thereby coming untied and shutting machine down electric current disturbs the aggrandiser trumpet issuing beat sound.

2. Built-in deferred switch circuit output and high VF of plain vehicle audio import low VF RCA when the audio exporting the automobile resolving a first wife thereby adds the dress power aggrandiser the switch line and RCA do not output but design that.

Crazy stance... er... Corsa C!

Nathan has been hard at work over the weekend slamming his girlfriend's little brother's Corsa and giving it some crazy camber with shim washers to the hub-bottom. Nice.

Crazy Remote-Switch Setup:

One of the major clients at work has decreed that beacon-switches hidden away in coin-trays or under the dash are no longer acceptable as "the lads are having to take their eyes off the road to find them". I'm not sure why 'the lads' would be looking to turn the beacon on while on 'the road', as it is illegal to use them this way, but ho-hum, what a client wants a client gets and the powers that be have decided remote-switches are the way to go. This isn't a bad idea - it's less holes drilled in brand new cars that have to be sold next year, but they're dearer than normal switches and in its quest to be ever cost-cutting the company has gone for the cheapest, tackiest remote-switches you can buy.

These come in a plastic-box, Maplin style, where you have to drill your own holes for the wires. They also come with no instructions and were a nightmare to figure out, for me anyway. Someone with even basic electronics knowledge would probably find this a doddle, but I didn't frankly, so here is the setup:

The red live from the battery [top wire] is split to both the '12v' on the left-hand terminals and the one marked 'NO' on the right-hand terminals. The red live from the beacon (or whatever) [lower wire] goes to the terminal marked 'COM' on the right-hand block. The earth-wire from the beacon joins to the battery-earth and the left-hand earth-terminal, marked 'GND', joins to that somehow. Syncing-up the remote-fob is mad too. You have to bridge the right-hand two of the four pins at the bottom of the board, using the tip of a screwdriver or something. The board starts clicking. Press the fob button and it stops clicking, but the fob-button needs pressing another few times for the board to recognise it. Also, remove the jumper from the left-hand two pins, or the beacon will only work while the fob-button is being pressed... What a thing.

Ant's awesome Land Rover Discovery 2-Door mudder.

This quite rare-sight 2-door Disco is lifted and has knobbly-tyres, a snorkel and a rock-crawler plater over the front live-axle, which I never realised Disco's had. Now I know why people still like them.

His mate bought it for buttons two weeks ago and proceeded to get it stuck in a local pond, so none of that extra equipment made a blind bit of difference without a winch-bumper.

The thing was on its last legs from the outset, but the combination of the wheels hanging on the diffs in water for a day and the mud being churned through it, but a drive-shaft snapped on the front and the diff-lock got stuck in. Frankly, it's become a nightmare to drive on the road and is doing the Landy no good, but nevertheless it has tax, insurance and a valid MOT, so Ant is using it for work along with his Fiesta ST. It will be especially handy if we have the snow that is predicted.
