He could. But the TD exhaust is very cheap. And you can just replace the useless centre silencer I assume a 90 has the same as a 110 with a straight pipe. On my 110 I have just used two intermediate section so not even a special part!

Quick update on this to finish off. Overpriced Steve Parker pipe now fitted and routed slightly differently, full length old radiator hose protection cover installed. And plastic spiral wrap hose protector ordered. You can see where it rubbed through on the steering column but hopefully the...

That is not the setup for a TD exhaust. The TD does not use rubber hangers. It uses old fashioned u-bolts around the exhaust and then a bolt with rubber bushes. OP says he is still using the original exhaust which is the same setup I have on my 110. The centre bracket pictured is a very common...

Also check the dot code on any tyres you are buying second hand. This gives you the date of manufacture. I have looked at a couple That look good plenty of tread and are then about twenty years old!

They Definitly just slide together. But it might be worth cleaning with a stiff brush, maybe a dab of your preferred lubricant. And a careful inspection to ensure none of the plastic is deformed? It is one of those annoying plastic moments where you need the goldilocks of force. Too little and...

Are you talking about the holders themselves? They should slide in vertically with the three blue ones on the other terminal. The little plastic lugs line up and hold it together (circled in the picture below). From memory is slides in up from the bottom. the single green one is the auxiliary...

I use one of these LINK. And then ordered the correct size fittings to screw into the axles (I can’t remember the size). I also use a 2 into 1 y-piece for the gear bos/transfer box as they are next to each other and don’t need one each. I haven’t bothered with the timing case one as the special...

This one ^^. You can also get manifold to joint them all into one and then run a single pipe to the top of the snorkel. In that case I apologise for criticising your questionable fashion choice!!

Looking good. Although the first thing you need to do now is remove the green stickers so it is just the black plastic! Bit of brake cleaner will get them off cleanly! Have you fully sealed everything else and extended the a le/gesrbox breathers? Or are you not planning on deep wading?

From memory there is a aplastic clip inside of the plug that you need to depress to release the spade connector. You need something long and thing but also robust strong enough to press the plastic. I used a small jewellery screwdriver. But you can get specific tools: LINK Do you have some...

I might be wrong but I’m fairly sure the ‘98 model and the ‘96 model will be using the same key. Both are the 300tdi model years.

I have not used them for a rear door but SP panels were very good for the front series style doors that I ordered as part of my rebuild. I will also be interested in other recommendations for a rear door as I will need one shortly and sp offer various different options with different levels of...

last time I needed keys cut I just went to my local cobblers. Have had Timpsons do them in the past as well. They ahould Not be uncommon or difficult I am surpised you are struggling.

Depends what engine you have. Last time I did mine (tdi) I just sprayed it down with screwfix degreaser and hit it with the pressure washer. I am about to do mine again having blown an oil cooler hose! If you aren’t too worried about the environment you can spray the whole thing down with...

You should be able to take an auxiliary ignition feed direct from the back of the ignition switch. Although I would not bother as personally dislike halo lights and think they are little tacky.
