    Brakes: adjust brake travel?

    Sorted. To adjust the point at which the brake pedal bites.... Remove the master cylinder from the vacuum servo by undoing the two nuts holding it on. You can leave the brake pipes connected. There should be just enough room to remove it past the coolant expansion tank. Now have a helper...

    Brakes: adjust brake travel?

    Hello! I have an 1990 110. I have just replaced the brake master vacuum servo. The pedal had massive amounts of travel after the replacement. I bled the brakes using an eziee bleed. The pedal now has 1-2cm of travel before the brakes lock up. Is there an adjustment I can make to give me a bit...

    repairing wires with superglue...

    Thanks for all the suggestions and the links to the 'all-in-ones'. I didn't know they existed so will be placing an order for some shortly. In the end I cut the wires with damaged insulation, soldered the joints and put heat shrink around each wire then wrapped the loom back up in insulation...

    repairing wires with superglue...

    I have some wires that the PO decided to wedge somewhere they would get worn. The result is a number of them have lost some insulation and now short out on occasion. My plan was to cut the wires with damaged insulation, slip a heat shrink sleeve on, solder the wire back together then shrink the...

    Bike rack while spare still on?

    I have the single pin sliding plate multi height two-bar and not had any significant issues to date - having said that I bet the whole thing falls off next time! :( . I have noticed that the top pin for the rack has taken a beating but seems to be within acceptable limits. The pin for the...

    Bike rack while spare still on?

    +1 for a MxxRaxx. I have the four bike version and use it quite a bit on my 110. It will lower enough to allow the back door to be opened while the bikes are still on the rack. I also like that it padlocks to the car and there is a steel wire for securing the bikes to the rack. While these...

    2.5 TD vs 300tdi

    I have a 2.5TD 110 and it's mostly fine most of the time. The lack of grunt is only really noticed when heavily loaded and / or trying to make a quick(er) start from stationary. The 200TDi will drop straight onto the existing engine mounts of a 2.5TD and gearbox. A 300Tdi would require a bit of...

    LZ 10th Anniversary Celebrations

    If you are still casting around for ideas you could consider joining the Convoy For Heroes event over Easter Weekend. The camp site, beer tent, activities are all set up leaving more time for 'socialising' and, I am sure if you contact the organizers, they could reserve a section of camping just...
