shares fuse with a lot of other stuff so unlikely to be fuse. check your grounding on the boot lid. remove plugs from tracks on window and check for continuity and resistance. light will light up, the defogger is run through the BCS, when you click the switch it tells the BCS to turn it on...

From memory it's just clipped in.

Remove ceiling light. Unbolt arial (under da sea) by undoing 10mm bolt, leave coax behind. Replace arial (kiss de girl) with chosen replacement (I suggest snow White, she seems the dirtiest one). Job jobbed, sit back and enjoy classic fm.

12 clicks is correct. Again, read the manual, 4 clicks is effectly the brake on which means the auto adjusters will never work. Do the auto adjusters before you do the manual adjuster, they should take up most of the slack in the shoes to drum with the manual really just to pull slack out of the...

16 clicks not 4. It's an entire system, If even one bit isn't correct it will not work correctly. If it feels crunchy it's probably the cables are still loose. This is where the service and maintenence manual really helps, its very clear on the setup needed.

Have you tightened up the manual adjuster under the handbrake lever toll you get 16 clicks? Did you set the auto adjusters in the drum till the drum just rubs? (This bit needs a few attempts of putting the drum on and off).

are they factory fitted or aftermarket? I'd assume aftermarket as I don't think they came with them from Nissan at the time. could be wrong though. if aftermarket they will be connected to the reversing light, so a quick dig in the boot for the control module will be a good first start. once...

the boot will be a touch lose, it's old and saggy, don't worry about it, it will still do it's job.

At least they aren't underbody lights. :) guessing most on here aren't old enough to remember fitting neon strips under sills. :)

only needs a fraction of a mm to bind tight as a nun. you'll know it's right as the circlip will go in the groove. they will recut themselves easy enough once it's on the road. I have recut bike rear drums on the lathe, car's I've always replaced when worn to a big lip or run them in (a binding...

15 amp fuse. 2.1amp for the phone 1amp for the chav lights (sorry, that's mean :) ) chuck in a bit more for the loses in the stepdown, so call it 5amps. you aren't going to blow the fuse.

if it's binding once the nuts tight then it's binding on the outer race, I'm going to guess without seeing it that it's able to move slightly without the circlip in place. air will move to the highest point in the system, so just behind the master cylinder. when you bleed it, you will push it...

Send me your old shoes then. They've got more life on them than mine, in fact they look almost new. ? your adjusters, as in your picture earlier, have 10 to 15 more turns on them, they are barely even open yet. With the wheel back on you should be able to make it spin for a while with ease but...

Once the adjusters are set and you've adjusted the hand brake correctly the shoes will be fine. After it's all finished, roll backwards then yank the handbrake at the same time as braking a few times to adjust out the final bit of slack in the auto adjusters.

Circling pliers. They will change your life when fitting the buggers. I struggled for years.

Check the connector at the seat and clean the contacts on the sensor (contact cleaner). My mineys on the sensor contacts being gunked up.

I've had them fight back with a 5 ton press on my side, some are just pigs to get out. Resorted to a 10 ton unit at a mates garage last time I got one that wouldn't budge.

Use one of the old ones.

Ah, OK. That one looks better. Spring are a bugger. Fit the top spring and adjuster off the car then fit shoes as a set over the cylinder and fit the pins. Pull one shoe over the lower seat and fit the bottom spring, then use a big screw driver the lever the shoe in to place. You can also just...

Please read previous post, you aren't doing a double flare, you want a bubble flare I was wrong previously.
