Well- just as some don't like threads without and answer: It looks like it was a duff Flasher unit. (mounted under the dash by the kick panel Passenger side) Main Dealer part only £150 + VAT ! If anyone is looking for a second hand temperamental Flasher give me a PM ! ;)

OK I suspect a PITA job in the dark at the yard sadly....... The "Earth return" ..... ?

Areses - looks to be the Main Dealer sourced flasher that is having a fart. £149. Eeeek ! And I need to find where the hell it is !

See, that's the thing with Electrikery Gremlins that are intermittent. They cost a fortune to trace, and you end up replacing parts that often don't need it ! Oh. and just dropped off the Lorry back at the Livery for a helpful chap to point out a brake light is out !!!! :(

Mmm, so at least I am not alone. the Missus ran it on tickover for 45 mins yesterday with the Heating (Cab & Living) on, and it still did not come back to life. I went and picked it up today and it took about 5 miles before they came back to life. I have it sat in the Yard with the Engine...

That's kinda what I am saying. I have checked all the relay type plug ins on the Fuse panel in the 'glovebox' All good and sound. I guess a few bags of Silca Gel may help too. I read a not some where it is the loights / connections in the wing mounted lights that trip this problem in the...

I am struggling to find answers or advice on this - Google has nothing. Wife has a 1996 Iveco 75E Horse box, and we notice in the colder weather (i.e. just starting about now) the Indicators can occasionally do not work on start up(nor Hazards). They seem to fix themselves sometimes after...

I must be imagining things but I am sure I read here that someone said you can often use the Air Brake System / Compressor to Inflate tyres. is that right ? Obviously a mod, but it does sound sensible. As for the Torx Screwdrivers - no such luck :?

Mike - I do agree with you, they do seem a mildly daft trinket that is dangerous. Now, how to explain to SWMBO this. Shiney wheels to be replaced by rusty tubs !

Yeah I have googled and rang a few places that sell the trims - no luck ! Yes, I can do the screwfix option, but that is what I have now anyway. Ill figure it out somehow.

Yep - reckon thats the best bet. I just need to find a Hex head Screwdriver tool to put in the lorry full time rather than dismantling my toolkit and using the bits.... Anyone know where to by the tool ?

Well Done Mike ! So, took the tins off and pumped the tyres and had the Torque check on the Wheel nuts................. Some of them were finger tight I shall check them regular !

thanks all - soooo I am pretty certain I have a Hex or Star head jobbie to get it off. 90 PSI is more than your average Air Compressor though isn't it?

So to clarify - the Trims are essentially 'illegal' as in they are MOT Failure's, and they have to come off to check air pressure / inflate the tyres? Seems madness to have them so 'permanent' to prevent 'checks'

and 90psi, that's an industrial air pump pressure?
