So i went about taking off my back prop yesterday to fit some new ujs. I did the back bolts to the axle fine and got two from the front where it connects to the handbrake shoe but one of the threads is just spinning not letting the bolt come undone, the other also did this but i managed to get...

ok thanks, i will give it a check in the morning when its light and tell you my findings.

I was driving home last night when going up a hill my car started vibrating quite a lot like a wheel was loose, so i pulled over to try to see but couldn't work out what it was. it is like a high pitch grinding noise that but i can only hear it when going slowly and its cloncky when changing...

how much do u want for them?

everyone says that its too expensive but having bought one 6 months ago and having the headache of looking through hundreds over about a year they are bloody high prices even for crap and i noticed that they went up quite a bit over that time, you will have to be very lucky to find one for the...

Well i haven't actually done it yet as i plan to get the new bushes tomorrow but i believe you have to change the bushings on the trailing arms, you can tell the they are flecked because the trailing arm will have play when pulling it about.

well first off all do a HPI check, you should be supplied with numbers/codes for the engine and the chasis, these will normally be the engine code or the chassis code that has been on the car originally when made, check these against the car to see if they match (obviously the engine won't if...

Don't let it put you off though, you never know you could get a good deal when other people turn it down at first glance because they think its dodgy. If you check it properly then your ok. I was nearly put off when i bought mine because of some issues with a hpi check and private plate being on...

Spot on! just been underneath it and it is the trailing arm where the bushing thing has split/slid off, looks like i will be poly bushing it soon. thanks for the help :)

I would put the value at more than that depending on the condition probably 4.5 to 5k upwards especially with the new body, i wouldn't sell my landy for under £3500 and thats a 1992 200tdi. definitely get it checked out!

Recently i have noticed that may car wobbles a lot when i am doing a speed of 50 or more and is hard to drive on country lanes (bouncy and the steering is vague). The car also behaves weirdly when i come off the accelerator at speed, like it will jump to the left. the car will also wonder to...

that is a bloody good price, i take it that you are in Ireland? i could see that on ebay for £4000 to £5000 easily well given what you've said.

this was when the car was on the ground with wheels on and the rubber end cap was the only thing off.

ok could someone else also confirm this before i order it?

ok so i have attempted to have a look today but couldn't unbolt the calliper because of the type of bolt that was holding it on, i can't remember the name but it has lots of sides and the sides are curved inwards. does anyone know the size of this so that i can try and get hold of a single one...

ouch i was hoping that it was broken the wheel end so it would be easy to get out, would i have to take the axle off or can it be done on the car? is it fairly straight forward or is there a guide i could follow. help appreciated oli

thanks for the speedy replies, wasn't expecting them that quick, so would the half shaft be rounded, they seem quite tough to me so would it have damaged anything else and would it just be a job of replacing it or would it be some other stuff E.T.C.?

was doing a bit of offloading earlier in and out of difflock (transfer box lock) i think at some point i heard a clunk, when i took it out of difflock it wouldn't drive it was just making a grinding noise, the front prop was just spinning. so what could this be, the half shaft or the diff or...

I jumped it from another car and it started quite easily so i am going to go with the battery and get it tested tomorrow and then if needs be get a new one, so can anyone suggest a good battery that isn't too expensive, would you recommend going to halfords or are they overpriced? Oli

Following on from my previous thread and having fitted new battery terminals and bypassing the faulty isolator i am still having problems with starting, this morning i tried to start it, it clicked the first few times but then started to turn over but not enough to fire up, i then successfully...
