I have an unbranded 12500lbs winch. it isn't that fast but it certainly pulls i have been using it hard at the weekend for over a year now and it still runs a treat. Personally i would go for the plasma. My winch had the wire on it, pain in the arse the way it always coils up and when you...

Keep an eye on ebay. I did when i needed a spare 235/85x16 i picked up a brand new dunlop allterain for a tenner with £10 shipping. Thought that was a bargain some of the tyre prices on ebay are fffing stupid you can buy new for the same money as they sell part worns

I removed it on my 300tdi but only because the exhaust was very smokey. There was some build up of oily crappy bits inside the hose and intercooler. I used the full kit and removed the EGR valve and fitted a new hose, cleaned the intercooler out with petrol. Blew compressed air through it to...

They seemed to have stopped giving discounts for security. In the past i use to get a discount for having a CAT 1 alarm and immobilizer. OK i had to send a copy of the installation certificate to them but i did save a few quid. Now their happy if you just have something fitted

When i bought my 110csw it was a 12 seater, i was OK to drive it because i have the older license with the entitlement. But to get cheaper insurance i got the 2 three seater bench seat and the front centre seat removed. so i turned in to a 5 seater 110CSW my insurance was just the same as my...

its what we call them in Glasgae lol

DICK!! i never said the hand brake shoes were on the rear drum. I have adjusted hundreeds of the ****ers i know where they are. I said adjust the rear drums. never mention do the hanbrake while you were there

I use to use a 110 csw for every day my wife and the wee man loved it, but he prefers the 90 Hardtop now

Doesn't look to bad, door's look a bit rotten at the bottom but there not hard to re skin. On a 110 csw check the B/C posts and sills especially where i passes through the rear wheel arch, have a feel at the back of them as well and check the sill running from the bulkhead all the way past the...

Have you thought to check the front wheel bearings or disc's ?? if the bearings are loose they will spread the pads slightly when you drive, when you press the pedal it takes up the slack, same can happen when the disc's are slightly warped. Best think is to adjust the rear drums. Loosen of the...

My 90 is running with standard Height HD springs front and back. I run empty most of the time. Fitting them lifted the front by about an inch but then it was sagging under the weight of the winch. As for the rears there dont really sit much higher than the standard. Today all i had was a small...

If its only a wee hole cut the rusty bit out and weld a patch flush leaving a gap for penetration then grind smoooth and waxoyl over the top you will never know its been welded

Setting the drag link to 924mm will be almost perfect the manual recommends adjusting the drag link slightly to correct the steering wheel. Setting it to this size will have the box centralized. The rest needs adjusted to suit

Repairs to your chassis are acceptable as these are repairing damage or corroded areas. When you start to cut bits off or alter the chassis from its originally specification then the DVLA will want to know and most likely will want an IVA carried out. Failure to tell them will result in the...

Unless i am mistaken your not alowed by the DVLA to alter the chassis from manufacturers specs without need the DVLA to test it

yeah it is sore if the wire jabs you in the face, especially if its hot

Some of the door handles are plastic and nor metal sleeved, so they do wear out you might find that it's the handle thats knackered. If your going to change the barrels instead of stripping all of the door down to get at the retaing screw on the back of the barrel. Drill a 10 mm hole through...

I have a sealy that puts out about 140 amps. Fan cooled etc it was only about 150 quid a few years back. It has welded loads of landys and loads of MG's. Just dont turn the gas up to far or you end up drawing air in to the weld pool and it will cost you a fortune in gas. When i was an apprentice...

The sender unit is a 5min job on a 90. Pattern sender units are OK but i always buy Genuine rubber seal and sealing ring. You just tap the old sealing ring around. Remove sender. Fit new one with seal and tap sealing ring around. When i did the last one it was leaking from the sender because the...

X Eng caps are the dogs balls. To remove get a thin flat screw driver anduse a small hammer gentle tap the broken bit as if unscrewing. will come out no probs and no need to pick bits out
