its cause hes not fully explained that the diesel mounts can be modified to fit. fairly easy. talk to miniman/chris re the conversion and the exhaust system. he has a great set of photos too.

well said mate. i kwow some of us runs our cars on tight budgets, but 20 quid ffs! ive seen torches dearer than that!

there are 2 main companies offering replacement chassis. galvanised 110 chassis is about 1200 quid supply only. no idea what a company would charge to do the job now. its a diy job if you have half decent diy skill. best with 2 men and take a week or so. or maybe say a month of weekends...

me too. many thx. its fecking red! ffs! (get the felt tips out then).

he says that the battery falls to 12.5v after 24 hrs, with no useage! not after a few months! that clearly shows the battery is more than likely feckin duff. and it fails to start the car after 20 minutes!

aye. forget the winch, unless you get a real proper hydraulic one. get a hi lift jack and maybe a tirfor hand winch. much cheaper and far more reliable.

thats why you need a sankey trailer! to carry all the spare parts you will need! ps, take a radio. itll help pass the time whilst you wait for the AA man. :)

braver man than me. i load the everything/kichen sink into mine when i go further than burnley.

its almost impossible to do it in situ. ive know peeps spend literally hours getting it back on. there is no easy answer. unless you got fingers a metre long and about 3mm thick. come home ET.

normal is 12.6v anything below 12.4 requires a charge. if its not holding a charge, then the battery is duff. and that feckin unipart warranty is shyte.

bet you know my old mate. ian b? (at farnborough). in charge of simulator design or summat last time i heard.

aye, ive played wif it. didnt like the mpg return though! so put it back again. now tuned for max economy. im not a speed freek these days. them days have gone now. i fookin hate paying mr gordon brown. ps, a small warning. this is one of dem jobs that really needs a experienced diesel mech...

aye only 2 choices really. if you gonna put a 850cc bmc A series in it for insurance purposes, let us all know how it drives, ok?

aw ****. i scrapped one last month. ffs. i seem to remember them yanks killed more of their own men than the krauts, on D Day, with their version of a floating sherman tank!

best value tune for the tdi is to remove the egr thingy. fit a big intercooler and tweak the IP. if you want even more, then best swap the tdi for the v8 petrol lump.

neil. you have funds.

they are not allowed on his land without his permission. (unless footpath etc..) if they have no permission, they can be sued for tresspass. but they are minors, so the law says they can do almost anything they feckin want. hence the side cutters.

ive never forgiven you for representing mrs calill against my company! Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

aye, you got me off on that jeremy thorpe case?

the numpty went into a shop at about 10pm and left his moped outside on the pavement. i walked passed and snip. must have taken me all of 2 seconds. not even god could prove it was me.
