That's very kind Alan. Let me see where I end up with a couple of other options first before anyone goes to any trouble! Although I work for an Anglo Irish company, so you could always post them to Dublin and I'll grab them next time I'm over at head office!

Thanks listerdiesel...I didn't know that, so I'll give them a call on Monday and see if they can help. Nice one!

...I could do that, I was just hoping someone was going to say "xyz supplier has them" or "ah, what you want to ask for is double cranked galvanised widget grommets as that's what they are called in the UK". I'm in no hurry so the NZ option might be my best!

Fantastic! Thank you very much!!!!

Not a silly question at all people, but my welding isn't great, and I'd rather get something already pre-fabricated and galvanised.

I was out for a run the other night and ran past this in somebody's scrap metal pile outside their house. I offered to give it a better home than being weighed in for scrap, and was told to help myself. Plan is to be able to tow my little lad around behind the garden tractor. Anyway, a bit...

Thanks again...found the thread but unfortunately I really need black or really dark grey. I'll see if there's a generic part on ebay or similar.

Got a linky to either by any chance? Thanks!

Thanks...ideally I want a very dark colour, but I'll try Rimmer for suggestions!

I'm looking for the part number for the fixing button thingies for attaching the head lining panels to a 1986 110SW. Ideally, I want these in dark grey or black. Thanks in advance

Last time, if you waved a copy of LRM with a Goodwinch advert, this was a freebie entry. Is this the same this year? Thanks

Using the open end when you could have got a ring on that bolt head? Do you really think it's worth rounding off heads and skinning knuckles when you're down to the last few sheets? Tut tut...

I've come across so many people now who have the polar opposites of one of Stuttgart's and one of Solihull's finest in the garage. Must be a love of simple effective mechanics, the analogue driving experience, and the small puddle of oil under each. 986 2.7 owner here...

I bought a replacement centre section headlining for my 110 yesterday at the Newbury sortout. However, to my dismay on the way home I realised that it stinks of EP90...I'm guessing some has leaked onto it in the trader's van. It's fairly localised at one end, a visible patch of the stuff that...

Right, finally sorted. Thanks to all who have helped me here. I'm going to put it down to those mismatched UJ's. I need to have a really proper look at the UJs I've just removed in the morning (had enough for tonight) however there's something funny going on. Although they are both 27/82mm...

Rear UJ at the diff end was not great...I've seen worse but there was movement felt there just by grabbing the propshaft yoke and giving it a wiggle. Driving wise TBH it was more noise than vibration, however post surgery its vibration at a specific speed. So going back to basics, I'm not even...

I think you missed a few zeros of that old chap...

Cheers guys. I'm just going to leave the front as is for now as I've not touched it and I don't want to introduce any more variables. However as an aside, as my 110 is pre-Defender, and has larger 82mm yokes, is it possible the front should be in phase anyway? Anyway, as I said I'm going to...

If yours is 1988 you may have the older version of the Defender seat which had a thin plastic back. The metal frames that go into the side bolsters are bigger, so you need to get a knife and hollow out the cut outs in the new foams a bit more so the foams sit flush with the seat backs. Get the...

Cheers guys. The motor factor UJs are different makes, which in theory should not matter but I don't like the way the t/box end seems fine but the diff end really is tight and getting warm after a few miles. I did carefully clean the prop and yoke, and clean out the circlip grooves, so I do...
