Im 18 and when i was insured on my 90 a few months ago the nfu wanted a figure in the region of around £450 - £500 to be insured third party, not as a named driver (it worked out cheaper my dad being the named driver on my 90, even though I drove it more). Fialing that, do a search theres...

Mine are about 2" outside the arches and in the 3 years Ive owned my 90 Ive never had issues with the MOT, it has only been noted onece as an advisory matter, anyhow thats what duct tape is for :D Ollie

I went on a bit of a trawl at my local scrappy the other day and got some genuine ones, although there were allready holes cut out in the lower dash for speakers, due to the wiper motor there was very little depth for a left speaker, the spacers helped, but it still only just fit. To be honest...

Nope, the whole frame unit is simply bolted to the wheel arches of the tub (it does have pre-drilled holes). Ollie

Yes there are, I meant that the cushions attach to the backrest part of the frame. If you buy bench seats, unless stated everything you need is included as shown, although If you have any specific questions its best to contact whoever you're buying them from e.g craddocks or paddock spares...

Good point although the false callout / bookings would be excelent revenge! I know an ace garage in Glastonbury, Somerset called Finlandia Custom who are really helpful and very reasonable. I had a couple of things needing sorting out for my MOT, it worked out at somehting silly like £185...

If your going to buy a bench seat (i.e for 2 pelople or more) you will get a metal frame (hinged to allow the actual seat to be folded up when not in use) and two cushions, one for the backrest (usually attached to the rear of the frame), and another to sit on. Its hard to say what drilling...

Me and a mate regularly go to the mendips in my 90 and the two bikes fit in fine. We ride all mountain spec hardtails (so nothing too chunkey like fr or dh bikes) although the two fit in just fine. Front and rear wheels have to be removed first and the two fit nicley up against the bulkhead and...

After seeing this WIki a few months back personally I'd roller it, at least thats what I'd like to do when the weather gets nicer. :) Linky Dink Although you can just give the panels a rub down, if you want a longer lasting higher quality finish I would go back to bare metal, etch prime...

I dont mean to hijack the thread, but a few years ago I had to remove the swivel pins on my s3 and they were a ba***rd end of! They took me about 4 hours of graft to remove. Is there any reason for this, or a specific way it should be done?? Ollie

Why not start with a hazard warning light, just make sure you get the correct pin replacement. There pretty cheep on ebay (if you dont need it you could just sell it again, but if your like me you'll probably smash it with your knee whilst getting in/out so you might as well have a spare) or...

My G reg 90 (1990) was the same, I only replaced my broken hazard switch for the MOT and the indicators worked fine without it in place. Ollie

After putting just over a capful of Dot4 into the pas resivoir a couple of days ago, it looks as though the leak isnt as bad as its still pretty full (touch wood). Although I cant really tell too well as my garage floor is covered in oil from an old tractor and i managed to drive over my drip...

Hi I was 18 when I passed and drive a 90, most insurers and comparason sites were a joke, although i got a good deal with the nfu. Im around £400 for 3rd party with no no claims discount. However my dad is the main driver therefore I dont get any no claims discount, although at that price I dont...

This happened to me a while back, and as happened to you my 90's now going through quite alot of oil, I'll see if my mate's still got my dot 4 and give the cheaper option a go before going down the lucas/garage route. Ollie

Sorry to sound like a dumbass, I dont know much about dual battery setups. If you run 2 batteries in parallel they will be both charged by the alternator, although if they are seperate is the 2nd generally (used for winches/lights etc) also connected to the alternator via a seperate connection...

Ive just had a scrounge on the bay and came accross "lucas stop leak products" has anyone had any experience with these as they also do a stop leak pas additive, although it does cost around the same price as a seal kit.

Yeah I might try that, the pas box used to leak when i first got my 90, although after filling it up with new oil it stopped. Then just before I went off to uni in october it started leaking and it hasnt stopped since :( so its worth a try and im pretty sure i have some dot 4 left over from my...

Hi, it looks like the bottom seal of my power steering box above the drop arm has gone, so I was wondering which would be my cheapest option to fix the problem as its geting through quite alot of oil now. 1) Buy a new seal kit and get my local garage to fit it to my ps box. 2) buy a recon box...
