Only thing I didn't buy was the actual antenna which is the whippy bit from my mag mount, and the lead from antenna to base unit. Maplin wanted £22 for a lead. Went on eebuygum £5 delivered. No brainer. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

After being totally impressed with Mevsy's night sun I decided to invest in one myself to teach the next Audi driver who cuts me up:

I got all the bits apart from the aerial itself from Maplin. They do sell aerial's as well though. All off the shelf. Not the cheapest, but was limited on time before the Big Bash.
This is a good site for stuff though

Only a little thing. As the Mk.II is an import it had an aftermarket rear fog light fitted. This meant an ill fitting switch in the dashboard. Anyways I picked up a genuine rear fog light switch off Trooperdan, and wired it in. It is the little things that make a difference.
Also fills one of those annoying blanks _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

Just done the Cam belt (including pulley's) and water pump on the Mk.II. Never done it on my own before, and only ever witnessed it once over 2 years ago.
Book time is 3 hours. Done in 2 1/2.

I got a water pump for £20 and a timing kit for £70 off eblag.
Continental Water pump. The timing kit was FAI in the picture, but not when it arrived. However the components were Contitech belt and NSK pulley's so quality stuff. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition
