Hi, I recently bought (2months ago)a new tinted one from Rimmer Bros at Lincoln for about £48 I think it was. Fitted it myself but I did buy a new screen rubber to make it easier on top of that price. I have a spare screen fitted into a frame with a few windscreen wiper scuffs on that should go...

Look after him John, my Dad was 71 and my best mate,miss him like hell.

Try the ball pein hammer method of checking!! If it rings its ok if it sounds crunchy you're in trouble!:doh: seriously it depends on the solidity of the main rails and how rusty they are inside too. If they are scaled deep on the inside where you can see you are on a loser in my opinion. If...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Couldnt find lift up type (must have had my eyes closed) As has been said Simmonites and MM4x4 have lift up types and Paddock and Simmonites and Rimmers seem to have push button skins. The "MrJC" tag is a bit relevant to me especialy today as it was my...

Its a long shot but......I am looking for a pair of landie door skins for my early 90.(Santana type lift up handles) A few years ago I fitted a pair of door skins to an early 90 for a mate as I remember a dealer selling some off,and was wondering if they are any still available anywhere? or...

In my experiance with running V8's the best carb was the SU's that you could have on. I bought a second car when running my S2 V8 conversion as it was cheaper to run another motor and use the V8 at weekends only. I would definately go gas, as it is in my opinion the only way to run a V8 unless...

I dont like filling the "Not had one stolen yet" as is seems like tempting fate too much!!:eek: I have had an attempt on my Perkins Rangie about ten years ago but I heard them and gave chase.No the buggers lost me when they dissapeard into a garden. My old 90 now has a Disklok and Clutch claw...

I have a nice 2.5 N/A engine that you can drop straight in for £100 if you want it. Ran sweet emough with no smoke at all. I was told it was a recon and I have no proof but I have built a lot of engines myself and I seem to think it could be right. I am taking it out for a 200 conversion.

Just bought a Tatty C reg 90 with a nice recon 2.5 N/A engine . I am fitting a new box as the present one is U/S and I am going to TDI it at the same time. Basically is the sweet 2.5 worth much as I might just keep it as a spare if not. The TDIs are cheep enough so I cannot see a N?A engine...

Agreed with above, sounds retarded a tooth on the pump, thats all it takes.The pump sprocket flicks around if you are not careful when changing the belt. You might be better setting it up from scratch.

Well maybe, the Insurance asked what size tyres and wheels it had when I asked for a quote, and they dont like committing themselves to certain points of what is OK and what is not do they? I think they should be a bit more helpful and tell you what you can have on a standard policy and what...

Thats what we call character:D:doh: It will look the same in 20 years.

Thanks for that, one answer is better than none.:D

Cheers John! a sensible answer, I owe you one.:D I love it when experts jump to conclusions with a new board member!:doh: thanks guys, I dont mind a bit of banter. All the best.

More of an Insurance question as I have a fair idea thanks of what fits and what grips.:cool:Used BFG A/Ts for years on road and raced on SATs 15 years ago! Im no newbie just a bit out of touch. What I am really asking is what would be classed as a standard size on a 90 for insurance purposes. I...
