That's fine. Just let me do it. I'll let you do the hard work of making coffee. Give me a call when you want it done.

Its possible that spanish 410s do.
Spanish fog switchs dont have a light on them so i guess
They must light up on the speedo.

Japs 413s and samurais have the little lights.

Could you not just fit a standard switch? Or did you want
A light thats more noticable?

I have a light up switch, which is fine for MOT purposes (especially since I put a dirty great "FOG" label above and below it) but I'd like something to light up on the dash as I might knock the switch and miss the fact that it's on, and perhaps dazzle someone behind.

It's not "necessary" as such, it's just a nice-to-have...

Do what I did, put the switch on the side of the dash, the only way to turn it on/off was to open the door

The SJ has died on me 3 times in the last couple of weeks, each time it was the fuel pump.

Anyone got any advice on a good quality and value for money low pressure fuel pump?

Looks like the same pump?

If so, that's a good price. I should have got that in the first place, instead of some cheap nonsense:

When will I learn my lesson? Cheap LR lights - fail. Cheap pump - fail. Don't get cheap crap, chaps. :roll:

Does anyone know if the mechanical fuel pump on a G16 is the same as a G13 mechanical fuel pump?
