It will however get full of crap and salty muck from the road. Doubt ut woud last long!

Coach paint and a gloss roller. The finish is amazing.

I can confirm that a straight through pipe is illegal. I have been busted for it. If you search the thread you will see the sections of the road traffic act that apply. You may have passed an MOT but that does not make it legal. I passed an MOT with mine and a tyre that you can see the steel...

If you are looking for a ****ing contest you are knocking on the wrong door. I have given an opinion based on my experience and knowledge. If you have an alternative view then knock yourself out and give it. Just don't be so rude. Play the ball not the player.

Is everyone so rude on here? An earth made to steel makes a better ground plane than an earth made to aluminimum. Whats so difficult to understand about that concept? I did not state that aluminium would not work as a ground plane, merely that the steel chassis makes a great one. Connecting...

I really need to see what you have done as I suspect you may have created a dead short which may be why you are getting no reception.

A radio needs a ground plane. the chassis makes a great ground plane, the aluminium does not. If you can create an earth from the antenna to a chassis earth you will get a good reception and transmission range.

You will need a good path to earth on it. I took a wire from the shield direct to the earth point on the bulkhead near the clutch reservoir that worked a treat.

If you are going to fit any snorkel to it you are going to need extra parts. I went round the houses with this and bought the 200TDi inner wing fitting in the end. It was about £30 new. There are plenty kicking around with the various breakers if you ring around. It's not a difficult job to...

Yes you can. I removed mine completely.

Does it actually have both alternators?

I dont have an ARB and have no problems on mine. Is this something as a result of lifting it?

It is illegally to have an exhaust system that does not pass through a silencer box. So I originally had a straight through pipe and that was not acceptable. When I put the rear silencer back on it was deemed acceptable as the exhaust now passes through a silencer box. The lack of a middle box...

The vents you have are for the heater not the engine air intake. What engine do you have? I converted from a 2.5NA to a 200TDi and did not have the wing vent kit. So I cut the wing, fitted the backpart of the original 200TDi wing vent kit and then fitted the Mantec snorkel for the 200TDi to...

There was another thread on here last week about straight through exhausts. They are illegal and the police are clamping down. Ask me how I know..... :( Seems it is acceptable to pick on us in our clunky old oil burners as a soft target despite the fact the tossers in the Corsas with boom...

Dunno! Is yours a 90 or a 110? My pipe comes down from the manifild, has a couple of slights kinks in it as it runs along the chassis and then goes into the back box and exits the other side of the back back box with a kinked pipe onto the left side behind the wheel. I could not even imagine...

That looks nothing like my 200TDi box!!

I prefer to park mine on my mates drives for that exact reason..... :)

Yep, wading plug. I leave that one in all the time and just check every month for contamination. The front one I only fit when I need it as I have an oil leak in the housing and it gets a puddle of oily watery liquid which then runs straight to your armpit when you take it out!! I was...

Very likely! The knackered battery is going to continuosly be demanding charge. I would suggest a new battery before messing with anything else. Out of interest, are you a heavy winch user? I run my Warn from the standard battery when I need it without problem. I am just trying to...
