  • Our old motorhome has started leaking water from under the bathroom which means we had to get the tools out again and start ripping things out to find where the leak was coming from, Then we also did multiple jobs on it so we could finally get away up to Scotland

    I replaced my bulbs in my 2009 ducato with those LEDs, brilliant ! ... but it then failed its MOT ! They said they were illegal 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Yeah, apparently if your vehicle is not factory LED and you fit LED’s it’s an MOT failure. Alternatively swap for H4’s and use a ceramic connector. 👍

    question on those headlights mate - you mentioned doug doesnt have a camber system - not a clue what that is presume thats a way to tilt headlight beams? and tht if you have one of those thingy rotary switch in dash to tilt or increase angle of headlight that these LEDs will not work?

    • @kieran710
      @kieran710 8 місяців тому

      No its part of the electronic systems on newer cars and because led lights draw less power than standard bulbs the canbus systems sometimes doesnt see the low voltage being drawn and the bulbs flicker or dont work or it gives you a bulb out message when they work fine.

  • @charliegould5865
    @charliegould5865 8 місяців тому +1

    You might need to check the wattage of those bulbs, the dashboard lights are normally only 3 watts to help stop overheating the plastic bulb holders. Side lights are normally 5 watts for the correct brightness. Just saying, not criticising, wouldn’t want you to get a ticket or MOT fail.
    Wrong time of the year for water leaks, it’ll take ages to dry out.

    • @Dirt-Diggler
      @Dirt-Diggler 8 місяців тому

      Came on to say the same. Only 2W difference but it does overheat the holders and defusers, I usually remove the blue defusers and fit blue LEDs, done hundreds of cortinas and mk2&3 transits that way 👍
      Good luck with the old girl in Scotland, I don't envy you up those mountains 😂 the Di is awesome for reliability, not so for power

    .. On a side note. The bulbs are ok for road use. It was the high power Hid lights that were a problem previously ( A few of my mate are Mot testers and mechanics)
