Started on the least favorite job, getting the dash back together ! Oh and ordered a set of black billet aluminum door hinges from exmoor trim, saw them in the Newak show and they looked well made and with show discount relatively cheap in...
I chose Britpart yellow "Super Gas" and three months later am sorely disappointed. No offroading just French towns- there are some similarities.. I now have to change shocks again..
Yep, starting like a dream.
The green/red indicator on the old battery suggests it's okay but at 8+ years I'm not so sure. I did wonder about keeping hold of it or offering it to @Nodge68 for his projects? but if not it'll go
thats my fingerprint and i took the rings off to test the clearance between tbe piston and the bore by taking it out and outting it in inverted like the manual says
Having fitted yellow Britpart "Super Gas" rear shock absorbers (dampers to our American brothers) I have to say that after just three months I am rather disappointed, one started squeaking after just two months, now they both are, and the ride...
Hello everyone.
I need some help! I have inherited a Series 3 2.25 petrol.
The vehicle last started in 2020. At the time it was being driven when it cut out in transit. It would not restart and was towed home. Its owner has passed away and I...
If you are concerned about the look then fit a spare wheel cover and it will look original. This is possibly what I would be looking to do anyway just from a security point of view. If you make it look like a spare wheel rather than storage no...
It’s taken 436 posts and 22 pages but I think we’ve successfully proven that no one on this forum is helpful and that OP is by far and away a high value individual and we’re all betas.
Now to match his post length with some AI drivel:

But does it start ok?? I found that over 1V is dropped in the immob module. One of my vehicles has a button feed straight to the starter for cold weather and even when the battery won't operate the starter via the immob, the button does !!
Charge...
Hi all,
The seat bottom in one of my inward facing rear seats has just collapsed, which has spurred some further thought.
We’ve got another little one en route and we currently always have one of the adults clambering in the back whilst the...
New battery in. What should be a five minute job was a swine because of the clamp bolt but it's done. Had to reset an SRS error but on the plus side. Gear changes are smooth as silk now.
You said "Divorced did you say? Work for yourself because no one would employ/work with you did you say?"
I just paraphrased what you said because I could not be bothered looking it up because this whole thing is just a massive gotcha joke.
I...
If I will not be able to get the old bolts in, then I will know immediately that there is a problem, and there is no way I will discover this problem while driving in Portugal.
But you repeatedly have said that I will not discover this problem...
gents, i found SOMETHING. if its the thing were looking for id like to check rn.
cil 4, score mark which alligns with the skirt of the cillinder. hard to see but there is a longitudional line and a little hourglass shaped mark on the piston...
Sure it is in the TDC hole?
A skipped tooth would cause issues.
The cam is set with a 12 thou spacer when tightening the cam stretch bolt. 10 mm is way too much.
Right, the bolts will be different but there will be no way to know that the bolts are different until I am halfway to Portugal.
And you say that I have no mechanical understanding, OMG you are hilarious.
Let me guess, the bolts are of an...
LR could make some cash back then off ABS/TC/HDC being an option. At least on the basic models, it may have been standard on others.
They probably still make cash with TR options, the sort of options over standard TR that 99.9% of users will...
