Meh, forwards all the way then. Chances are I'll be slow enough to not have to worry about things being behind me... Or broken down at side of road...

Sensibly original. As original looking on outside as poss and preferably not that many alterations inside. FWHs and parabolics might be as far as I'd go structurally externally. As for door mirrors, real wing mirrors are better imo, no taking eyes off road ahead...

Yeah. And I've got a mate with an n/a or a TD just stood in his drive next to his forever drive-bound 109 which might be obtained for mere pennies...

I'm only named on the 90. Whereas I want to be policy holder on the series... I assume it'll still be quite high, or will restricting mileage to 3k miles pa be a good idea, coz it will only get used every other weekend or so...?

Sounds promising. I take it that would be a runner as well? The only problem I foresee is insuring one, especially only being 17 atm, but limited mileage and adding a parent as named driver might do something about that...

Edit takes forever so I'll just add... Also would like advice on which series would be best. SWB pickup that is... Obviously pickup isn't a necessity as can be changed, but 88" is... And that I figure a budget of under 2 grand for vehicle and engine wouldn't be too bad...

I currently have a 90 TD CSW, which is all very well, but not enough seems to need fiddling with on it. What I really want to do is get a series 2/2a/3 and plonk a 2.5 diesel in it and spend my time restoring it to originality (bar engine obviously). The charm of a nice looking, nicely...

In simple terms for an idiot and with links/pictures? I'm not especially experienced, only being 17 and this repair of the propshaft and oil leak being the first thing i've done...

Doesn't much matter about leaking oil coz I thought changing it would stop it. Apparently not. It still pees out at a rate of knots. The leak is definitely from around the switch, but only occurs when engine running and oil under pressure... Do we think a rubber washer behind the provided...

...how (easy is it) to change an oil prtessure switch? Is it just unscrew, screw on new? Or is it infinitely more complicated than that?

While I've still got this thread open, anyone know how easy changing oil pressure switch is? And the thread size on wheel nuts?

How much for it?

It'd go missing and be expensive...?

T'would be good, just a bit far to the north east from cornwall is all... And I could do with it fixed asap cause it's a daily.

Where's the fun in that? You don't get covered in oil that way...

It'd been squealing and mekkin noise for ages. Went friday morning. Changing UJ would've saved me the flange, the oil filter, a gallon or 2 of oil and an oil pressure switch, but you know, why fix something that isn't well and truly knackered?

Dunno. Depends who carpmobile is...

Prop flange, yeah. It's got 6E23B stamped on it, if that makes any difference...

Thanks. I'll get on it. Not that I need my front propshaft, but would be nice to have a 4wd again...
