Thanks Joe - unfortunately too late for that; ear well and truly bent because of the Landy "marking her territory" with drops of engine oil and other assorted fluids!

Evening All,
Apologies if this is a weird question but is there any routine maintenance to parabolic springs I should be doing? I've just invested in some car ramps so I can get underneath and give a proper clean to the chassis, but should I be doing anything to the springs? Clean off the...

I just wondered if anyone has had problems with central locking on their 110? I have a '62 plate but on a couple of occasions (both have been during cold icy weather) when going to unlock first thing in the morning the system has what can only described as a fit and starts rapidly...

Thanks for all your help guys; took the expansion bottle to bits and found an outlet clogged with 30 years of gunk. Cleaned it out, topped everything up and fingers crossed it seems to have been sorted.

interesting problem. Tailgate on the SIII has all of the sudden developed a terrible vibration when driving - rattles like blazes.
Recent service saw a wheelbearing changed which I thought was the cause but has not solved it.
Anyone come across this before? any ideas...

Whilst it's quite fun to watch the road surface pass by underneath through the corrosion holes in the rear tub floor of my 88, I ought to replace it and perhaps install something a little more durable.
Two questions, firstly is it just a question of drilling out the rivets and lifting the old...

Hi,
Apologies if this has been answered before on the forum but would be very grateful for some help with replacing my tyres on my 88. At the moment she is shod with various Avon 6.00x16.
Would be very grateful if someone could suggest the metric equivalent - road biased as most of my...
