Wire wheel in a grinder, 100% effective against rust. Evaporust is also worth adding to your POL Cabinet 🤘

Hi Alex the kits worked fine on my Talbot. The levers each side are for when they were Van's. It adjusts the height of beam from a fulley laden van to empty. Otherwise main will be shining up when loaded as back goes down with weight . Back to lights by drilling the lights and using the other nuts it allows for the headlight to dangle swing so hardly any tension on plastic tube ball joints. I didn't heat mine. But again my as Talbot

[@ttxela]

Thanks George, I don't think the instructions with mine mentioned drilling the lights 🤔 still it doesn't seem a very satisfactory solution for £18!
Never mind, I need to go back and adjust them, at least I have lights now 🙂

[@robertsavage7804]

Hi Alex, I always admire your attitude to overcoming problems and never making a big fuss about it, and you certainly had good reason to complain about those replacement parts you bought! As always, you'll find a way around the problem.
Are you going to show us the repair to Nikki's bike?

[@ttxela]

Thanks Robert
There should be a video out on Nikki's bike soon. Unfortunately it's still not entirely resolved 😕

[@alexpalmer9894]

Great video,I seem to remember a solid plastic bullet,that took thread and ball , remember selling them ,that tubes a joke ,never going to hold permanently, looking forward to next installment 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍

[@ttxela]

I wasn't impressed with the tube thing at all!

[@charlietango1635]

Alex, you can put your side lights and headlight bulbs in from inside the engine compartment. You can turn the levers to a certain point, then do the final adjustment on the screw, I managed to turn my offside lamp in enough so I don't need the deflectors, this was on my Talbot, you maybe able to do the same on your Citron.

[@ttxela]

Thanks, I'll have a try at setting them up soon 👍

[@charlietango1635]

@@ttxela I took mine to Halfords, they said it would cost me £10 but then the man did not charge me, it took all of 2 minutes.

[@per-erikpersson9898]

While replacing my headlights I hade a similair problem with the adjustmentbolthead popping out.
The easy solution was a loop of metalwire to keep it in place.
It can still be adjusted.
The original headlights had fewer adjustment options.

[@ttxela]

Thanks, I might try that 👍

[@tstuart7333]

Well pick me up of the floor. Those adjusters are a ridiculous price. Ill be making my own and I'm sure Ill come up with something much better and much cheaper, as I sure you yourself could also do. I agree total waste of money. Hex coupling nuts spring to mine. You are Great for having a go at things Alex really admire you. I've been a little busy with my toy also. These new lights are looking real well, very nice indeed. I also ned head lights Ill buy lefts but change the lens over with my own. Love your humour Alex great one liners. Cant wait until the next episode.

[@ttxela]

Yes, definitely expensive for what they are. It's the floppy tube thing that let's them down.

[@74quo]

Hi Alex.did you do a video showing we're to fit the beam deflector on the o/s
I now have the same problem not being able to get the lens.
Thanks in advance. 👍

[@ttxela]

If I recall correctly the instructions that came with my beam deflectors weren't that clear. It's a while ago now but I think there is a centreline on the lens to line them up with?

[@74quo]

@@ttxela thanks alex👍

[@denisscott3073]

Hi Alex 👋 thanks for this update 🤔den and sue 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌

[@ttxela]

Thanks 👍

[@camtarc]

good job my friends

[@ttxela]

Thank you 👍

[@garyaustin9355]

I'd really like some of those side steps where do you buy them?

[@ttxela]

They were already on the van when we bought it, a few folk have asked about them. They don't have a makers name on anywhere that I've noticed 🤔

[@jayrichardson6872]

Ooooh my. I’ve got mine to do too🙄😏🤨And I’m seriously Not looking forward to that neither Alex.
And yep I think I’ll be giving the adjustment bolts a miss too🫣😬Thanks so much matie. Another great video
But my you do have some patience chap. A lot more than I have👍😬😤🤫

[@ttxela]

Thanks, it is frustrating that they aren't a bit better at such a price!

[@michaelrejoinbradford1282]

I used threaded rod and a few nuts to do mine

[@RickandHeather]

I’d thread a bit of tube and join them. That pipe idea was crap! But entertaining Vlog as always 😊

[@ttxela]

Some folk report no issues with them, ah well, I see why the previous owner used those acrylic strips now.

[@RickandHeather]

@@ttxela I did see that in the comments. Ah well at least you did it.

[@helenjeffontheroad5313]

Hi mate. I think 🤔 a threaded rod and nuts would probably work.

[@ttxela]

Yes, I wish I'd done that from the start 😕

[@DesmondsDonders]

I have replaced a few adjusters and even the manufacturers ones can be wrong.

[@ttxela]

They seem overly fragile affairs on most vehicles 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@dereksanders7855]

Hi Alex good job I would send them back you will get a refund mate..

[@ttxela]

Sadly I threw away all the packaging or I'd be temped to!

[@jarlingesandvik9883]

[@ttxela]

Good to know 👍

[@powderpuff1964]
