Evening all . . having got my landy in bits, seems a good idea to perhaps get the bulkhead galvanised. Plan was to take it to some one local (living in Nottingham). BUT - after speaking with someone in the know, they mentioned that not always the best idea as if the temp isn't right, could cause...

When you take the body off to see the state of the chassis!!! Just in process of taking bits off the landy to do a chassis swap and although I knew it had some dodgy places, looks soooo much worse when you get in naked in full daylight!! Lots of flakey metal, bubbling here and there - not to...

Hi all, gearbox i've got fitted in me 90 at present has the problem of not going from 5th to 4th - already come to the conclusion that it'll be the syncro on that side. Now i've managed to get hold of another box off good old ebay - externally looks good, input and output shafts look in...

Hi folks - well I decided that time was right for me to wire up the rear heated window. However, the heating element on the window has 2 connections and my wiring has only the one!!! Any ideas as to what should connect to the second connection?? I tested by using the old 'screwdriver with a...

Hi there!! Just kinda curious, for obvious reasons, what this might be - coming from rear wheel area (noticable if you put head into wheel arc) - but guessing its either wheel bearing or brake pads rubbing slightly. My money is on it being the brake pad catching - is there a way of adjusting...

Hi all, I know this has probably been covered in parts on here before . . but, having just found a few more holes on me chassis, I started digging around the rest of the chassis for other dodgy areas (I know this was the first mistake lol . . ) Back end of chassis looks pretty rotten to be...

Afternoon all - I know this isn't the 'for sale' or the 'wanted' section. But i'm just having a bit of a clear out in the garage and i've got a passenger side wing (top and outer) up for grabs to the first person who shouts loud enough. Not for sale as its probably only good for someones off...

Hi all, seems my 3rd and 4th gear syncro are f**ked - soo, dilema i'm left with is whether to go for a recon (have seen them on ebay for about £400) or have the old gearbox repaired. Now I don't have time, space or heavy lift kit to do it myself but been quoted £250 for taking one out and...

Hi all, just a quick question - I can see that there are a number of screws holding part of the trim in place, just partially hidden with the seals. Question is - how do you get past the seal to get to the screws?? the seals seem very stiff :confused: I have a feeling I know what the answer...

I've got an issue with going from 5th to 4th - ok if I slip it into 3rd first, then 4th - had a few suggestions: 1. The inhibitor broken - although I can hear it 'clicking' when I come out of 5th . . . 2. Lack of oil - looks pretty full to me, after getting selector cover off, its upto the...

Hi all . . just had MOT on my good old 90 - and it passed, which is always pleasing. Had a little welding done on it - which kinda got me thinking a little about possibly changing chassis. Now I know that its not too much difference between a 200 and 300 (engine mounts) but is there a major...

Hi all . . i'm sure its been mentioned here before - but anyone know what size spanna/allen key is needed to undo the refill plug on the transfer box?? Its a 95 300tdi by the way. I've finally found where it is (after peeling all the muck away) now just looks a weird size and shape lol . ...

. . . ok everyone - I know that we've all got blue, red, green, white landy's . . but is there any correct and easy way to find which specific colour of blue, green, etc?? I got a nice blue one, but need to touch up a few bits a pieces - like the rear door - but other than peeling some paint...

Hi all, well I seemed to have developed a bit of a strange noise and just wondered if any of you have come across anything similar. Noise basically sounds like a slipping fan belt - but having just changed it (old one looking decidedly worn!!) noise is still there. When you listen closely, it...

. . . basically, won't go into 4th gear from 5th - works in all other sequences. To get it to go into 4th, I have to slip the fella into 3rd first . . Now I can hear a clicking when coming out of 5th - which suggests the inhibitor (?!?!? is that what its called??!?) is operating, still not to...

. . ok, sure someones had this happen to them as well. Taking off what was left of the old rear flaps - and a couple of bolts come out ok, a couple shear off, and a couple bring the whole nut assembly from within . . Whats the best way (maybe the only way) to refit?? Not really too keen on...

Any one got any suggestions as to which one be the best one?? Sure some will have a bigger depth than others - just don't wanna be having the wheel right under me nose :) 2 i've seen on fleabay are a momo one and one froma comapny called Extor Cheers all . . .
