Great job and useful to see the pics, thanks for sharing. I still have mine to do at some stage but as yet don't have a replacement. I've considered looking into the ARB air lockers or similar, but imagine they'll be super expensive. Anyone any experience with that type of upgrade? Cheers, Mark

Hi TP/Dave, That’s a nice simple idea, cheers! I did put my multimeter on it and while I’m still getting to grips with multimeters it appeared to read only 0.5 amps and actually 14volts with engine on. Will try your idea with the bulb tomorrow morning. Thanks guys, Mark

Hi Dave, Mmm... now you have me thinking, I didn’t realise that could happen. (Electrics aren’t my strong point). So I measured around 12.5 volts on the one side (left) when the switch was on and yes, that side has had dampness in the past! Would simply drying and cleaning up the connections...

Thanks to all of you for your info and offers. Think I’ll steer well clear of Auto Windscreens TP, cheers! Thanks Karl, a little more testing to do but an inexpensive replacement might be a great answer. I’m temporarily in Cambridge and normally based 9 hours drive north so anything I can get...

Hi Guys, Much obliged for your replies, that certainly gives me some better info to do some testing. Appreciate your help. Hopefully it won’t end up in a new screen. Cheers, Mark

Hi All, Hope you’re all enjoying a very Merry Christmas time! Just after a little help please.... Trying to sort out my heated screen and remember reading a few of you have had issues before. I’m not quite ready to give up on it so would be grateful to hear what seem to be the normal...

Haha, nice cold Stella :obscene-drinkingbe: but yeh, that's pretty much what I was looking all over my panels! You're right too Clive, mine hasn't been an issue at all over summer time. Interesting your replacement metal work has drains, Sounds like a modification is required to mine. I'll post...

Just seen this on eBay Will. Might be a tidy candidate to replace yours?! Toyota Land Cruiser 4.5 VX Pet/LPG Auto, 80 series https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/253272094853

Thanks for your input Guys! Regarding the appropriate drainage in the quaters... I'm wondering if the lowest seem joint in there is supposed to have a 'slit' style drain like we find intermittently along the central sill area under the doors. Could anyone verify that please? Neither of mine...

Thanks guys, I have noticed a few drops of water above the drivers area when it's raining hard so I imagine the sunroof isn't completely water tight, maybe a small amount is able to trickle down there. On the drivers quater, I had a pool about a cm high so quite considerable I think. The...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone can advise why both my rear quarters are holding water. I'm referring to the sections hidden by the corner bumper units and where electric and sunroof drain pipe passes through (Hope that makes sense) I recently did work to both sides and believe they are both...

Hi, welcome Jeff! I'm a newbie too and just thought I'd say hello. insure these guys will help out if they know :thumbup: Cheers, Mark

Welcome there Chad! I can just imagine cruising up and down the west coast. I was there many years back and thought it was a great place - hope you have many miles of fun in it!

What are black jacks Josh?

Wow Frank, sounds like you have your very own version of Fort Knox :grinning: thanks for all the input fellas - I just read on a website that any Thatcham product has to be installed by a registered fitter, so I guess it's time to spend a bit of dosh with one of them. Cheers, Mark
