I hope the forum gods forgive me for not being outside fixing Miffy today

I think the fuse box looks similar to the 1530x series by EATON/Bussmann, albeit not being the same. They offer a wide variety of configurations (empty, you populate it with wires / terminals yourself and can choose setups for relais, fuses and both). Very good products and available through mouser, if anyone is looking for a good, sealed and modulare fuse box.

Key fob batteries needed changing today, cannot believe this is only the second time I have had to do this since owning the old girl.
For those who are interested the batteries are CR2032. |

Oh you know all the best things in life are those you want but do not necessarily need

Y’all knocked it out the park right there.
I see it has on the barcode made in PRC.
Is this a similar scenario as designed in GB, made in China?
All the same looks some nice kit.
Wants and needs, most things do need an actual purpose and manufacturers are very good at making things have a genuine purpose and not only looking good. The cable I.D. Tags are a nice touch. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

Yes the ID tags are useful but only up until the point when they fall off and disappear to the depths of the wheel arch
Nothing that a multimeter cannot overcome |

Success....!
The adapter I needed was indeed a 3/8 male NPT to 3/8 female NPT
Now it can be fitted to the LT230 extended sump drain plug. A good result. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

On to the MudStuff Mud Pod re-design...
This is how the current setup looks. The switches are about to move down to the centre dash and the Overdrive temp gauge is moving into the pod.

Should work I think... The battery monitor is a TBC at the moment. |

Well the old girl has her eyes back in again. Just spent the last hour running the headlight loom where it needs to go. The result is a perfect 12.7v all the way to the JW Speaker headlights and absolutely no flickering at all, even with the engine off.

It's a great feeling when it all works as it should do and Miffy's front is back to normal

Cannot tell you Clay how great it is not to have flickering headlights anymore. So much so that I have been out this evening and tried them again in the dark
