Arrrh, figured it out, you can get access to the nut plate from under the car, they sit in a small channel you can just get your fingers up... this is going to be fun, think ill leave it for another day as neither of the bottom torx will budge.

Thanks Marmaduke, I wonder how you get to it as its not visible from the inside of the car. I'm a bit worried that I take the hinge off and the plate falls off and I cant get to it

Hi Just replacing the front door hinges on my 110, a bit of drilling and sawing but nothing too difficult. I'm taking off, painting then replacing with stainless bolt the rear doors (not back door) hinges. Ive done the upper ones and about to start the lower ones but cant figure out how the...

Finally figured it out, a small stone had got jammed up in a crevice and was creaking when the drive train was moving. Drove me mad for blimmin ages

I've search through but cant find any ideas in the many weird sounds from my landy threads :( On gentle acceleration I get a sound like a spring being put under pressure (if you see what I mean?) its coming from beneath the gear stick area. If I accelerate a little harder or decelerate it...

Has anyone stuck their own stickers to the paddock ones? I'm temted to get one and get the vinyl cut but want to be sure it will stay on (is the surface textured or smooth)

Thanks Grimmer, I could get a plain black one and have the graphics made up. I've seen some on EBAY but dont want naff looking one so would rather get a recomendation if poss

Does anyone know where I can get a customised spare wheel cover? the one that's on there at the moment is kind of a thick plastic with elasticated vinyl which goes over the tyre. I'd like to have my own logo on the back rather than advertise the garage I got the car from.

Yep that's my 7, its a 160 BHP Kent engine, big brakes, Ohlins shocks etc. great fun in the twisty lanes :D

Yep very impressive, definitely wouldn't want to be on track in the 7 with that behind me

Right, got it sorted now, turned out to be the MAF sensor after all. I had unplugged it and driven it but the symptoms were still the same (I had read on here somewhere that if you unplug it then it resorts to default settings and you should feel a difference). Now I think about it, if it had...

Has anyone got a nanacom in the north kent area that fancies coming for a ride with me?

Replaced the intercooler with nearly new one (No point in temporary repair) suspect hoses all replaced, car runs much better than before but still same fault, as soon as I hit 70 I get a loss of power and speed drops back to 60 with some black smoke. waste gate actuator moves, is there another...

Ok looks like the intercooler, I took it out today, filled it with white spirit and there was a tiny amount seeping out around the bottom right corner, that area was quite gunky so guess it might have been going for a while. Would that cause my problem? now what to do, replace with one from...

Looks good Chris, I take it you can no longer fold the rear seats down?

Thanks Shifty I'll check it out, any pointers on where it is or is it obviouse when I have a look?

The one pipe that was missing from the Kit was the one with a repair on it so I had to put the old one back on for now. The pipe itself was quite soft and squashy with a few indentations, especially where the jubilee clips sit. and yes I've checked the following waste gate actuator moves OK No...

I now think its not going into limp home mode is it recovers without having to turn off and restart (is this correct?). I got someone to follow me and i do get black smoke when the power loss happens. I ordered some new intercooler hoses but one they sent was incorrect so I've got 2 shiney ones...

you can get a pump that you stick down the dipstick tube, not sure how good they are but might be an alternative.

I'll let you know how I get on with the impact gun, your plug is much bigger than mine so may be able to take more force. I've got a new plug and washer on order as the one thats (hopefully) coming out is a little chewed. I tried a ring spanner with another spanner for levarage with no luck...
