Sorted my intercooler out last night. I put it in the dishwasher on full and it has come up a treat. Got to refit it in a moment. Will be doing my inlet manifolds at some point.

Errrrrmmmmm I wonder if I can slip my intercooler in my Ex-wife dishwasher........

When I find one cheap in the local small ads I'll get it and keep it in the workshop as a hotwasher. Been looking today and if I remove the thermostat and replace it with a PID, the temp can go to as hot as the element will take. I reckon around 90c should be good.

I got a 90c cycle on the washing Machine in the flat, but i dont think that will be a good idea.... but it does my boots nicely after a off roadibng day.....

I am wondering Matt, How much do you think it would cost to get the Quarter panels sprayed before fitting..........


Also can they be removed and replaced over a couple of nights.....

I wouldn't worry spraying it as it is a very close colour to yours. We charge £250 a panel that size when we do the vw campers, etc. I'd leave it as it is or just do a rattle can job as you'll wreck it again

You're welcome to pop over one evening to remove it with me then the next evening we can fit it?

Have you had any veg oil in your tank as that can cause a little blue smoke?

Nope always ran off diesel! Will see how it goes now the timing has been sorted (it might just be me being paranoid about it being blue)

Are you free this weekend to gave a look at my air filter mount?

Just back from another viewing with Dirtnewbie........ ****in waste of time that was. I've seen better vehicles in the scrapyard!

Again a great big thanks to Matthew for his time , had another landy to view tonight and what a waste of time was as rotten as rotten more rust than wheel arches

is that one your selling...........

Nope, all of mine are in bits now.

Anyone want a set of steering arms? Pulling them off today.

Will need a rear caliper soon as mine is seized. Was thinking of buying new but if yours are good and cheap enough could be tempted.

I hope not, but don't let them switches go. I need several!

How much for your back seats (not the silly ones children like to sit on) the actual rear bench seats

Hi all

I saw a post earlier in the week about laning tonight? Myself and a mate are interested in tagging along on our discos

I've tried trawling back through the pages to find the meeting info and planned route, unfortunately I'm in deepest Norfolk at the mo and on the "O don't bother network" and it's taking ages to navigate the pages. Would anyone be able to post or pm the details for me please?

Hopefully see ya's this eve

I will

I'm heading down for 7pm to make sure KFC is consumed in time.

I might be selling my green disco..... I can't stick living here anymore..... Need to find a home and need the cash to do it.

Surely not after all you have put into it.
I take it the dishwasher trick has been found out :doh:

Still that was a bloody good idea and I will be doing the same (when home alone).
