This turned up at work today . I should probably get hole of full service kits for the slave cylinders and give at a thorough service etc when I get round to an installation. Does anyone have an inlet manifold in the local are for a 2L lying around that I could modify, e.g. drill and tap a...

It worked 😁

My first ever welding on my own without guidance Not pretty, points 3/10 possibly but if it works then I am sorted.

OK found the problem! After further adjusting the clutch up I still had the problem, but the clutch activates better. I then pulled the tunnel off in preparation to see if I could get the top off the box without a full seatbox removal and discovered that it IS a case of selector ball wear! On...

Yes I had no idea 25 years ago either when I bought the vehicle as it had a Perkins d4.203 up front. The 6cyl bell bousing was different too as it was the same as the S1 2L IOE with the studs in the wrong position. With a 4cyl layout it is simply a matter of chopping a small corner out of...

Yup, just need to adjust clutch a bit more hopefully and It should work

What is it with gearboxes at the moment :eek: If you need any able bodied chaps to lean against your garage door offering up loads of crap while you wallow in the crap then I'm sure we can oblige :cool:

Many years ago I fitted a V8 into my old 109 ex 6 cyl. The greabox sits 3" further back in the 6cyl chassis, this meant that a LOT more cutting out of the n/s footwell amd a tiny modification to the d/s was required to fit the V8 in. In reality the differences I recall were more in the gearbox...

Yes the ECU stitches all four windows. Dry solder joints are a common fault. I have a 2 door and the winds started fail8ng. I managed to source another ecu from a pal. This resolved the problem. They are a bugger to get out, first you need to get the glove box out, then the are fixed...

Quick question. When torquing up the flanges; on the rear flange the splitpin hole is virtually out of the nut while the front, the hole dissapears under a castellation. How am I supposed to lock them? Should I try ack out with some cheap penny washers?

Good progress this aftternoon, another 7 hours on the rebuild I started rushing around trying to find a deeper tool to install the Speedi-Sleeve. I then had a light bulb moment and managed to get to the Plumbers Merchants before they closed and got a 42mm pipe coupling. Here you see the...

Ahh Delivery day today

On my way

i'll be there some time after 8

Pub toneet Jai?

Personally I have ones from Jones Springs on my 80". (They are possibly GB springs remarketed but in the case of the narrower 80" rear springs they machine them down then retemper them) One warning is due to the extra flexibility you should watch your rear propshaft as the splines could be...

Just blast out any mud from between the leaves from off roading. I suppose they should be clean like the rest of the underneath to reduce moisture against the metal, but so long as they are painted they should be OK. Mine have around a 1/4" gap between the leaves.

Looks good. It's bizarre how you can miss the bloomin obvious. Like me an the Intermediate shaft. I have replaced. Out of the bearings then I saw that

The wife just test drove a very nice 300tdi 90. But the noise at tickover when compared my TD5110 and especially to her 300 tdi D1 was extremely loud. Not bad when its working, just the tickover.

Welcome to the Leafy side of te Zone. Feel free to ask away, but beware somtimes you'll need a thick skin. Just rebuilding my Series 1 gearbox at the moment. Well Transfer box now, the LT76 is back in attached to the 2l Then theres the wifes S3 88 to rebuild starting like you with a new...
