    I'm on a couple of days forced holiday thanks to the VIC lockdown.

    Managed to do an oil & filter change on Wallit. Left it till the hottest part of the day so bonnet too hot to hold, tools had to be left in the shade.
    The Isuzu uses an upside down cartridge filter thankfully with a drain plug so fairly easy to change the element.
    One of my boys is in the motor trade so I'll get him to order another filter at trade price.

    Possibly have another Land Rover to collect once lockdown is over, also a few other parts like leaf springs & axles. Maybe I'll score a quieter diff for Wallit.

    Putting together a parts order, need to get another set of window channels.
    One day I'll get round to painting the spare bonnet, the existing one sheds rust whenever it's closed.

    Went to the local Trash & Treasure market in Wallit today, waste of time as not too many sellers because of the weather.

    On the way there in the dark I reached for the heater switch and must have touched the light switch and lost the lights ! Wriggled the switch and they came back on again.
    Headlights are on relays so not too much power through the light switch, the contacts must need a clean or I'll look for a replacement switch. Something to sort out in the future....

    Had to use the glowplugs for about 10seconds to get the Isuzu started first thing, with the temperature & wind chill I had to use the glowplugs again to get it started when I left the market.

    Noticed that the indicators on one side didn't appear to be flashing when I used Wallit last so had a look today.

    Thought it would just be a globe gone but today the indicators back & front came on but wouldn't flash !
    Removed the dashboard and managed to reach in and remove the flasher can from the bulkhead. Then hunted high & low for a replacement (sure I have one somewhere) but couldn't find one.

    So I took the original apart, cleaned the contacts with emery paper and sprayed with switch cleaner.
    The main part was loose in the housing, probably the vibration from the Isuzu, so 'staked' the housing firmly back in place.

    All good now so re-assembled dash and will add a flasher can to my next overseas order. If I have a spare this one won't play up again......

    It's were you put it so it would not get lost. go look for something else you are sure to find the flasher unit.

    Well the indicators still work OK after my 'fix'.
    I've looked for the small rectangular version of the flasher can with no luck. Just handy as it fits into the clip behind the dashboard.

    If I can't find one I'll upgrade to a 2-pin electronic version but I wonder how it will stand up to the vibration from the Isuzu. Also have to come up with a mounting for it.

    Wallit is getting used most weekends on the supermarket run (within 5KM of course). I've also used it to get to work in Dandenong but I'm now working from home.
    As I've run out of undercover storage Wallit sits outside so when the sun comes out I open the doors to dry the inside.

    Must start a list of jobs that need finishing again, then actually get round to doing them !

    Paint replacement bonnet.
    Fit new engine mount rubbers.
    Replace 'sills'. I have some spares that need painting.
    Fix a few leaks.....

    Colin,
    maybe a flasher can mount from a Japanese motorcycle, as they are usually in a rubber holder.

    Thanks Mick,
    I may have found an original one.

    I mounted a round body one in my Series I with a rubber lined bracket, no idea where the bracket came from though.....
