What did you do with or to your Disco today

**Discofever** · 28th March 2015, 01:21 PM

Driving to the Grampians early on Wednesday morning just about to arrive in Ararat and the dash lights go. Pull over to the side of the road as I know the rear driver tail light is likely out as well. Sure enough it's gone too. Change no 8 fuse which is blown and it goes pow as soon as I turn on the lights, ok I have a short somewhere, bugger I've pulled the wiring apart in previous cars looking for shorts so prepared for the worse.

I remember reading the glove box light can cause this short so I remove the bulb from the casing in the glove box and try another fuse, pop. That's no good. My stereo is aftermarket and I thought I may have a short there. Rather than pull out the whole system I remove the stereo fuse and chuck in another no. 8 fuse. Pop! Bugger. Thought I should at least check the wires in the drivers side rear light housing and I identify a single purple wire (trailer?) that has lost most of its insulation. I taped it up good and proper whack in another fuse and turn the lights on and viola, dash lights and a drivers side rear tail light. The purple wire was obviously shorting on the inside of the body. Trouble shoot took about 20 mins and I'm off. Think I got out of that one cheaply.

Well i got the tyres today and damm do they look amazing!!! Makes the car look so much better.

But THEY RUB!

I am not happy. And even if i cut more of the guard they will still rub on this and the entire inside panel it looks like. So i think I'm going to have to extend the suspension bump stops by about an inch.

Hi, from previous enquirys on this site, the general consensus is, that is will wreck the rear door with the extra weight/ leverage on the wheel bracket..Gary

Yeah I can see how that would be a problem. Bugger. Looks like it'll be residing in the cargo area for a while then

I would look into roof rack brackets

I can't handle and heavy items from a height due to a buggered back

otherwise it'd be up there in a flash. Waist height is ideal

We hooked up the camper trailer for the Easter break , but the wife had to drive and to her credit she did a good job considering it was her first time towing .:thumbup:
