No, sorry for you guys checking for anything alcohol related, this is just what my little girl christened our 110 CSW, and the name has stuck since. I got his some time ago, and despite intending to do a quick tidy up and use it, ended up being a much more involved project with an impending...

Hmm, thanks for that. Food for thought I think.

Thanks for that. I did consider it to be fairly stock, but didn't know if the front additional weight would benefit from slightly stiffer springs. I've been offered some double yellow front springs, and some purple/brown rear springs, which are basically brand new. However, from what I've...

Hoping I can draw on your guys expertise. I'm replacing the springs on my Defender because the ones that are on look ready to shatter, and I need to take one out anyway to patch a small hole in the chassis. I'm therefore trying to ensure that I get the correct type of springs to match the...

Youtube video by any chance? Just watched the exact same scenario, guy bought a £500 RX8 on a 57 plate. He got an MGB and a Cobra too?

Not overly difficult, and I would say would be a sensible if it was a lifetime for the original owner, ie the warranty is not passed on. Only the same as Halfords offering free brake pad changes if you pay for the first one for as long as you own the vehicle. In relation to the poster itself, I...

Random maybe, but when I had an Audi 1.9 TDI, the vanes were notorious for sticking on those, and is DIY fixable; Get some Mr Muscle over cleaner (I kid you not), got to be the foam type one, fill the turbo housing with it, leave it for a good half an hour, and then run the engine. On the Audi...

Got the room to do it yourself?

Is that not a leaking injector seal instead?

Think the guy is trying to give it away, rather than sell it, in which case, it's fairly kind to register onto a forum to offer it around. Obv, if you are trying to sell it instead mate, then yeah, 50 posts please to sell your rusty tat!!!!

I have been scouting for some Series 3 88" side panels, and saw an abundance locally to me in Sheffield before, but now can't seem to locate any close by. I'm after some hardtop versions to convert my CSW into a Utility. Can anybody suggest other places to look. Tried Gumtree and the like, but...

Hi, Anybody have access to one who could give me some general dimensions of the thing, namely the length, width and depth. I can work out where the indentation and brackets need to go. I am going to get a Galv one when I get a new chassis, so going to get something fabbed from the pile of...

Also check brake lines etc, in case any extended lines rub when lowered back down. Out of interest, why are you reverting back, and how was the ride with the Britpart Supergaz stuff. Seems a reasonable price for a full 2" lift set, but obviously the 'Britpart' bit worries me. Let me know how...

Well, had the infamous death wobble, so after a quick check, I considered the swivel needed adjusting. Talk about taking on the simple jobs first!!! Anyway, one side was fine, and didn't need anything changing. The drivers side however, as soon as the hub was free, would turn with a blow it...

Haha, no I don't intend to be 'one of those types'. I know that at best, I'm just prolonging the inevitable, but tbh, I can clean this one up for relatively cheap, and if I can get just a couple of years out of it, then I can save up for a galvanised chassis. The more time I spend under it...

Well I'd actually broken out the angle grinder and welder to start on it, so have been a brute with a hammer to check strength, and as much as it looks horrible, a lot of it is still solid. I'll try and grab some pics tonight to show some of the difference. I thought it was well and truly gone...

Answered my own question with a quick google and read. Also, they're not that badly priced new, at about £60 for a galvanised version, and slightly cheaper for a painted version. I think my best bet is probably going to be to take the body off to clean the chassis up properly, and to check...
