That diff doesn't look welded to me.

Welded. Translation error?

No you have to drive-in having entered a code from outside the machine.

Mr G says they are azulejos, which are a form of Portuguese or Spanish painted, tin-glazed ceramic tilework. Would that fit with the history? No direct hits on the pattern though

Look a bit like delft Holland if porcelain, if clay Johnston need to remove one and look at the back

.... here's a little life lesson. After my heart-attack in 2007 they stuck me on a load of drugs that are part of a "post HA Protocol". These are Statins, Clopidogrel, Beta Blockers, Ramipril Ace inhibitors and baby aspirin. They don't tell you...

Are there no auto machines near chez vous where you can stick the token in the machine from outside the car then run away until it is finished?

That is a flipping shame. Mind you, a lickle ride in it and she'd get out shaking and say much the same as she already does!! 🤣

I've been trawling the 'net for a couple of inside door release plastic surrounds for my '87 (DA) RRC, components well known for their fragility. Sounds simple but I have a problem in that every example, whether new or used, appears to have the...

Nope, she refuses, and tries NOT to be a passenger in GWEN.

Painted over a chipped and rusted corner on the bonnet. Tried to remove a snapped bolt without results. 😑

It was rear drive ONLY, but with a soldered diff

...I had a blood test this arvo to look for Uric acid levels in my blood (the Gout). :) Didn't feel a thing but I bled like a stuck pig into the wad of dressing they put over the hole. :)

I took her Cooper All 4 for a wash and brush up as I said I would. It has come out looking OK to be fair. She has had the car since feb 2019 and has never, ever washed it because she has a fear of the auto machines and is too much of a skinflint...

Aha, as @Wildefalcon noted a 79 series 3 should have a heavy duty Salisbury rear axle but yours has a Rover axle/diff. Diff itself looks OK in pic and 10/24 shaft will get you going. To have driven it home with a broken half shaft it must have...

Hello All, I recently acquired a 2002 P38 and have lost all the keys to the vehicle. Is the only way to get new keys made to replace all the modules in the vehicle? That's all the feedback I'm getting from shops at this point. Thanks in...

I agree, just leave it as it is, you don't need numbers to tell the time on an analogue. I have a watch that is charged up by solar. Hung it on a door knob in the sun once. The glue melted and all the numbers fell off! Carried on using it, no...

From what i seen, i need a shaft than has 10 splines on the diff SIDE and 24 ou the outside. Does this sound good for a 1979 S3 ?

The half shaft is broken. :(

I have a working standard TB64 relay you can have ...

As the pedal box is moving the whole bulkhead has to be moving, have a look where it mounts to the chassis out riggers.

the problem with led units that are fitted in original lamp holder that rely on the bayonets for connection is that the current drawn is so small that when the contact point oxidise and the led then is unable to draw current through the oxidised...

You'd have to do a google pic search to see if any of the tiles are worth much, some, like the ones in old hallstands and fire surrounds can be worth stupid money. Some people buy the old hallstands just for them. We were very lucky to get one...

Strangely I have heard of the World Wide Web. If we had a couple of grand to buy expensive wheels then that would be a consideration, maybe. We don't, so it's going to be a spray, paint or grease of some sort. Since I have a can of PTFE spray...

Yes we are in the south-east corner of the Tarn so couldn't be much closer to the Aude. Soz and all that it'd have been fun. Never actually physically met a member on here yet although have had invites and one has watched me drive onto a ferry...

Propah instruments though, not a ton of warning lights that tell you nothing except that you MAY need to worry about summat. It used to be "consult your handbook, or Haynes manual", now it's "plug in your diagnostic then go see someone who MIGHT...

Hello, I've just rebuilt my steering box. Now its refitted to the vehicle (S3). Ive noticed that when I rock the steering, the pedal box and steering box are moving left to right. Its noticeable when looking between the steering box bracket and...

Well before that we had things like "Dove grey" yuk! Then in came all the metallics, which seemed cool until the lacquer coat "went". Car colours at the present seem to me to be totally boring. Talk about 20 shades or is it 40? of grey. Or...

something like this? had to replace mine on the l322 a while back. Don't know what's going on with the link but it works for me...
