my box is on my work bench in the garage, it had the grub screw that holds the selector folk fell out and has chewed a few gears, so it needs replacing asap. so its the wifes bmw ad my work van for now - sad times.

this is a copy of the email they sent me this morning. Hi Adam Have tried to ring you this morning and left a brief message on your mobile. The prices on the website do not include VAT so,you would have to add on 20%. As for delivery / collection of the old unit you would have to add on a...

just got a email back from these guys and it turns out that you have to add the vat on top of the price, plus there is collection and delivery for around 35+vat either way.

if you have got £1000 to spend get yourself a cheap diesel van.

might have a look at these guys myself as i need a recon tranny box for the 110.

disco all the way.

mmmmmmmmmmm intresting as me and the wife are look at this time of year for our honeymoon, we want to go over christmas and new year for around 3 weeks. not sure what its like in the winter months though.

check the valve caps are not worn through as this happened to one of mine and it rattled like a bugger when under full load.

can anyone reccomend a good place to get a good quality defender 200tdi head gasket set - 3 hole and a set of head bolts?

i think while the head is of i will get it skimmed.

hi everyone Sorry its been so long since i have been on here but i have had alot on. Managed to get some garage time today and i decided to take the head of to have a little look. to cut a long story short the rattle turned out to be a damaged valve steam cap!!! i will post some pictures of it...

11o all the way check out my blog for our asia trip in 2009, we spent the best part of 4-6 hours each day in the 11o and i am 6'6' and 20 stone and with the mud rails and a smaller steering wheel had no both at all, infact i would rather drive the 110 than the wifes m3 bmw.

we did this trip last year, have a look at our blog in my signature.

will be testing the injectors tomorrow so will postagain then.

being a plant fitter i know that this sound if definetly a engine rattle over anything else, was just asking to see if anyone else had a similar experiance. :)

lol no mate the missus is a profesional chef and works all over the country so shes away for up to 2 weeks at a time sometimes.

yes am going to try and get them out on thursday as i have to spend tomorrow night with the wife as i havent seen her for 9 days.

coming on a treat there mate, one thing when you are using a mig it to try and get the metal as clean as you can or you will find it starting to spit when you weld, the cleaner the better as it arces more when its clean.

not yet mate just got in from work and am knackered, need a shower and some sleep.
