    XE Headlights

    It's a 25A unit. I'll hit up my local repco during the week and see how it goes from there.

    XE Headlights

    I can't remember, but there's either two circuit breakers, one for low one for high, or the main power for the headlights runs through it - and the same issue can occur on either low or high beam. It's the one circuit breaker for both in mine. The second circuit breaker (in the wiring diagrams) and the blank spot in the fusebox under the dash is for the power windows. I'll check out the link to the part and see if I can make it fit in, I put a 25A glass fuse in there for testing/troubleshooting purposes and it can stay there at the moment so the lights all work for pink slip, but i'd like to put it back the way it is supposed to be.

    XE Headlights

    They're 60/55's even put new globes in to make sure it wasn't overloading. Sounds exactly like my issue, except it occurred on low beam.

    The globes are 60/55's, sound similar symptoms to what I was having before switching it for a fuse.

    XE Headlights

    So, the XE is almost back on the road.. tyres and headlights for rego and we're good to go The headlights had this weird problem where they'd run for a bit, then turn off, then run for a bit, and turn off and so-on. After checking here and going through the circuit i couldn't find anything really wrong and changed out the circuit breaker for a standard 25A fuse and voila the problem went away. Put the CB back in and the issue returns. the offending part looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/oAIf11q Reading the schematics, it would appear it's the same item as used for the power window circuit too (if they're fitted - mine's a GL with some options so no power windows for me). Anyone got any ideas on where to get one, the usual parts stores don't seem to have any idea. Cheers,

    Gasket, Spacer or Part of the Carb

    Thanks fellas.
  7. Hi Guys, I'm redoing the top end on the XE, like all good projects it started out as a quick tidy up to replace the lifters and remove some of the ticking in the motor (we're calling it tickless enhanced now), and has now gotten waaay more involved than I intended with a head reco, new rockers, pushrods, lifters, vacuum and heater hoses and a few other bits being replaced. Due to all the corrosion in the fittings, and I figured i'm already in there, I am working through tidying up the inlet manifold. Somewhere along the line I've scored a couple of inlet manifolds in various boxes of assorted xflow parts, and i'm trying to work out what these black 'plates' are that are well and truly stuck to them. Any hints as to what they might be? Link to pic incase the embedding didn't work: https://imgur.com/a/hgGRnH7

    Fuel Tank Sender Gasket/Seal

    Hi guru's, the wagon seems to leak a bit of fuel out the sender when on an incline (or cornering hard), seem the gasket is busted. Local supercheap have no idea (surprise, surprise), anyone know if this part is still available or can use one from a later model?

    Jack Storage

    This is one for the wagoneers.. My wagon doesn't have the factory jack and handle (that i can find), i'm assuming it should be in the wheel well (the only thing there is the spare wheel), and surprise I need one for the blue slip. Where has everyone stashed theirs so they don't float around the car whilst driving?

    Rust Repair Recommendation

    He's lucky, if I had turned up with a Kombi to my now father in laws house to pick up my then girlfriend, helping me repair it would have been the last thing he would have done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel Tank Caps

    Mine as XA Falcon stamped on it as well. Local repco has two models available - part numbers SL43EC and SL49EC, Mr Polson any chance you recall the model number of your purchase?

    Fuel Tank Caps

    Will take a closer look and see what my local repco store has. I do know the XD and XE caps are different and the Tridon XD cap fits perfectly on the XD. The fuel spill thingy is pretty cool and looks the goods with the chrome cap in the centre of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    One question - did you file the lock tabs down or the locating pins (sorry having a dense day). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
