    Stop light switch !!

    Does anyone know if the stop lamp switch on a non-ABS S1 Discovery is adjustable ? The haynes manual tells me no, but the LRO factory manual tells me, Yes !! The reason I ask is because I had to replace mine this morning, but when I installed it I thought that if u just touch the brake pedal the lamp switch should work, instead i have to press it in about 4-5mm before it works !!

    How can you tell the difference between 'just touching it' and 4mm of travel ?

    Do you have a micrometer built into your shoe ?

    Sounds like it needs to be adjusted to come on earlier Matbor, shouldn't be too difficult, but then again, I don't know discos

    Hi matbor, not sure but does the brake peddle have an eccentric pin and bush? If so you can then adjust the pedal height a little higher so it touches the switch pin.

    My cruise control switch didn't work after I re kitted the clutch master cyl' and I could not get the clearance right so I glued a spacer on to the activator pin and it now works great. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
    Any more airflow meters for sale I'm still after one.?

    Cheers mate,

    The unenlightened see Land Rovers as anachronistic, as relics of the past.

    We know that they are cleverly designed to allow the expression of just such Aussie ingenuity !

    Thanks LR.
