towing electrics

[Forester]

I'm trying to get the lecy for towing fitted, but they have to take out the back lights to fit /connect to it. When they tried to get them off they would have to break them (27 ys old. paint stuck to them & will not come off without breaking) I CANNOT find any-one who can replace them, I can get the offside one but not the other & believe me we have tried. Then I got to think, surley they must be some-one out there with the knowledge to fitt it without taking the lights off, connect to the wiring sort of thing. Well the question I ask IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN in the n/west?

Hi Forrester, what vehicle are we talking about? D.

[Forester]

[Dave Newell]

Hi Wayne, just a minor point but I make 1989 17 years old not 27. Have you tried Delfin Design for replacement lights? D.

[Forester]

Just testing you all, lol. Have Delfin got a web site or phone No

thanks  Wayne.

Hi Wayne. Delfins website is "www.delfindesigns.co.uk" . I know you,ve had a go at removing the lights already but I would try again using a stanley/craft knife to separate the paint and cover then gently prise them apart. I normally use a wide wood chisel for this sort of thing, and if you gently work your way around you should part the two without any damage. It should be possible to connect the wiring further back than the rear lights, but the furniture layout may be the problem here, but still worth considering and asking the electrician to look at. You may as well try the rear lights setup though as whenever a bulb goes you will be back to square one..............Dave. I,ve given Wayne the website that he will have to type out himself, but other users give a website that you simply click on to go there direct. Any idea how this is done. Howard.

[Dave Newell]

Not sure if its the easiest method but I visit the website in question then highlght the details in the adress bar. "Control C" to copy it then come back here and write your reply then when you want to include the link just press "control v" and it should put the link straight in. D.

Don,t know if anyone remembers that old Morcambe and Wise sketch, but was it two Ls.

Hi Howard.

Jone's caravans who we tasked the job to said they tried to remove the lenses but they would break/crack and couldn't source replacements. My personal opinion is that they are to lazy to do it as like said. I  have e-mailed Delfin for parts 'ie' drivers seat & the lenses, once again thanks for all your help.

Regards Wayne.

[howie]

Glad you got the parts you wanted Wayne, and that website seems to stock everything you need, especially when it comes to older vans. Keep that address safe for future use. ......... Thanks for taking the time out to try and help Dave, but thats just another abject failure in my attempts to come to terms with technology. Howard.

[Dave Newell]

http://www.delfindesigns.co.uk/ Well howard it worked for me. D.

[Forester]

Hi Howard/Dave.

I e-mailed Delfin Thurs morn I'm still waiting for there reply, struggling to sort a drivers seat though. My next project is to find a owners manual, now thats like trying to plat dobby horse dung!. By the way Howie do you think "the girls" are missing our comments on them?.

Wayne.

[Dave Newell]

Hi Wayne, its probably better to phone Delfin than e-mail. The only workshop type manual available (other than official Fiat/Peugeot at about £300) is the Peter Russek version which I'm told is very good. Do a google search for Peter Russek. D.

[howie]

Leave it out Wayne. I,ve only just got back on speaking terms with Mel. £300 for a handbook sounds reasonable, or why don,t you try that owners club address I gave you. Howard.

[howie]

I,m always gratefull for any sort of Christmas present Flicka. Things were pretty grim when I was growing up and quite often my Mother would cut holes in my pockets just so I would have something to play with. Howard.

[/QUOTE]Thats a really sad story you have to tell Wayne and i,m sure you,ll get plenty of pm,s offering sympathy and advice. As for the females having a go at you, then this could possibly be down to the way you approach them. You have to realise that in most cases, women far prefer to be charmed and courted in a more gentle way, that always makes them feel special. If you do this, then you may even get the free drinks and lodging you are hoping for over the festive season. Hope you don,t mind, but i,ve included an old chat up line that I used in my younger days and hopefully this will give you more success in the future. Me. The names Bond. She. James Bond? Me. No. Unibond. I,m here to fill your crack. Call me old fashioned, but I still believe a little chivalry goes a long way. Howard.

Howard with me the phrase "driving a mini in the Dartford tunnel" comes to mind.!!
