Hi all, not sure where to post this, but in looking for the name of, or even the place to get a rod coupling nut to join the rods for the brake system in my Sankey trailer.. It's more or less the last piece of the puzzle that has taken a couple of years to complete.. I pretty sure it's 5/15ths...

Just got all the parts I needed for to change the seals in my TDZ p/s, and whole I'm at it, two balljoints.. well, I thought I had... Turns out the drop arm ball joint is left threaded...whereas I have a right threaded one.. Too late to order the parts now, will have to put the old knackered...

Hi, has anyone got, or come across this system? And can anyone give advice in changing the seals, and o rings, etc... I have a kit, but no instructions, as to how to take power steering apart, and what to do about refitting and bleeding system. It was already fitted when I got the bus, and I...

Hi, seem to be on here a lot at the moment... Unfortunately it's for problems rather than fun..:-/ Have been feeling a difference in movement, and a judder appearing, so I checked under the front and found.. A) leaf spring u-bolts on drivers side have come loose and seized up.. (Have ordered new...

Hi all. Good to be back, after moving house, and getting back to tweaking the green dragon, before the dreaded MOT.. But a few things have been bugging me for a while.. The door tops are leaning outwards.. Making it a windy soggy journey, unless some ingenious cable tying mechanism is used I get...

I'm looking to replace one AVM fwh as I trashed one on a high curb and need to replace. Would consider other makes too..

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has an odd AVM free wheeling hub for sale? I had an accident with a very high curb, and completely knackered one of mine.. I know there is a choice of getting rid of them, but I do like them.. Otherwise, has anyone got some normal hubs for sale? Cheers. Gem

Hi all, was hoping the recent gearbox/clutch change would be the last of my worries for a few months, yet a day or two after, I noticed a lot of smoke in the cab! After investigation, it is coming from oil filler, I have replaced rubber gasket, now oil is coming out of the breather/mushroom on...

Hi, my S2a has recently developed a nasty fumey smell, I have a weber 34 ICH, and have a service kit, which I will use soon, but also there seems to be a chuffing sound, when I release the revvs, like downhill, sounds like a train!! In my imagination, I picture unburned fuel perhaps? like almost...

Hi all, I have a sankey trailer to be picked up from southampton, and dropped off in somerset... any takers? it has been converted to standard ball hitch, (which I will later convert back), but at least it means that it can be towed by a standard hitch.. The reason I can't do it, is because...

Hello, there. I have owned a 109 2.25l for a couple of years now, I have recently needed to tow some heavy things, (have had to re-inforce my chassis, as I have found cracks), and really need some extra poke to it!! up hills particularly! I was considering a 200 tdi, but mine has had gas...

Hi all, my latest challenge is to repair drippy tank, all important for saving fuel!!:eek: It leaks when the nose points up hill, can't really see where from, so obviously need to get it off! there are 4 bolts? and... breather pipe, sender unit, outlet pipe, anything else? and once off.. how do...

Hi all. This has probably been covered a million times, but I am in the middle of moving house, and need a quick answer. My clutch is slipping uphill, particularly.. and need to know what is likely to be the cause? the disk? and what else should I change whilst it is all off? and roughly how...

Hi, I just looked at my spark plugs, and to my astonishment, they have three contacts, (well technical!). I have never seen plugs like them! i put them back in now, and can't remember what type they were... they looked a little covered in bits, but ok! what are they, I can't find any info on...

Hi, my 109 failed MOT on several things, which I fixed, re took MOT, and brakes failed again!! both n/s 'little or no effort'... this was due to leaked seals which I had replaced but contaminated shoes (which I soaked in petrol and cleaned) were too far gone... enough tread, but to slippy! (the...

Hi, couldn't find an answer to this, my series 2a, ex mod, 2.25 petrol/gas , has got a weak alternator, and there is a scrapyard down road, got a disco, is there any other cars from which I can take an alternator for not too much money, rather than order one. It seems the disco fittings are the...

Hello friends, My s2a has got some sort of whiney noise from the area of the gearbox, can't tell if it's the transfer box or main, but it's mainly on high revs in 2nd or 3rd, it goes when in 4th. It almost sounds like something rattling, but that could be any number of things:D. I don't think it...

Hi. I have developed a whiney noise as I turn the steering wheel, it happens when stationary, as well as on the move. I have listened while stationary, but can't be certain where it is coming from, possibly the TDZ power steering pump? or belt? or around that area... any suggestions? thanks. Gem

Hi, due to my axle explosion, my Bro-in-law came and helped me today fit a replacement salisbury axle. (Thanks to Phil, who sold me the replacement). It all went smoothly, and have successfully got it all back on before tea! He left me a couple of manuals, that he used during his apprenticeship...

Hi, does anyone know if the stub axles on a LWB are the same on a SWB (salisbury rear axle 109 series2a) Thanks.
