Plus if it already has a couple of dents in it you will be less precious about taking offroad, rubbing it into the hedge to get past the lorry, etc, and generally using it to throw things in and on and use and enjoy.

The issue is there is to much movement in the caliper rather than the the lever being in the wrong place. For example (numbers made up for demonstration) I need the lever to move 45 degrees to clamp but the 6 click on the handbrake only gives you 30 degrees of lever movement, so the first 15...

I have used paintman (LINK) and Paddocks (LINK) for paint, but mine is just standard Masai red so is not a difficult colour to get hold of an match. If you are talking about the dents of the drivers wing I personally wouldn't bother. They are not that bad and these days even second hand wings...

If they are saying it is injectors start with throwing a couple of bottles of redex or similar into the tank and see if that improves anything. I know it is not the same but I do this regularly on my 200tdi, and it makes a difference if I have not done it for a while. You say it was a mess...

As you have a nice flat paint colour rather than modern metallic, you can easily paint the doors yourself with some coach enamel in the correct colour and some small gloss rollers. Give everything a good clean, sand down, coat of etch primer (again with a gloss roller), and then top coat with...

Has this been verified? In a similar vane to the above, do you know you actually had 190, or have you just installed a map that claims to give you 190? From the sounds of things you are not down on or losing power, you have just not gained the power you were expecting which is very different.

I am still struggling with mine! To get it to hold when at 6 clicks the cable is still under tension when calliper is fully released (have new brake pads fitted). This results in the cable stretching regularly and needing readjusting until you reach the end of the adjustment and need a new cable.

Better late than never but see the routing I have for my bonnet release cable through the grill, again very crude, but has been loke if for years and not broken:

How very American of you using psi! However 80psi sounds very high, are you sure that is correct? At the risk of starting a large debate on tyre pressures I tend to run mine at about 32-34psi (2.2 bar in correct measurements ;)), So 80 sounds very high unless you are very heavily loaded all the...

In which case I would Definitly contact autosparks (LINK) they have standard on the shelf but can also do “custom” so should be able to get what you need.

What engine is the 3.9 diesel then, that isn't standard! I would have a look at (and possible a speak to) autosparks as a first point of contact. I got all three looms form them when I rebuilt mine after the fire. as you are already not standard you could also take the opportunity to upgrade to...

That is something that I hadn't though of until now and did make a big difference to mine both in hardtop form and now its station wagon configuration. On the floor of the rear load area (and second row foot well in the station wagon) I have 12mm stable matting. This is a very heavy rubber...

^^ These cannot be stressed loudly or hard enough. On my 110 I have replaced as much with stainless as possible and everything is copper greased before refitting. I have just pulled apart a very rusty 110 to swap the station wagon body ono mine and every bolt fought the whole way and or needed...

Glad you got it open in the end. If you are going to do this on yours the little brass connector I have used is just an electrical terminal block with the plastic removed. So is nothing fancy! And the cable was the broken release cable. I will take a picture in the morning of my cable routing...

Because this is a very common way to open the bonnet and there is no security and because the cable is so prone to snapping (as you have found) I have made a cable loop through the grill as my permanent bonnet release similar to a series rather than running it to the footwell. The Military ones...

I would start with the throttle cable rather than adjusting the pump. I always treat the pump adjustments as the final resort.

Completely agree with the above and should have said. I was more focused on getting it open. To alight it you need to remove the grill (just large cross head screws) then loosen (not not undo) the tow bolts holding the latch in place. This will then allow you to move the latch around to...

If you managed to fully pull the latch through the grill it will just need a bit of a wiggle. With the latch fully pulled try pushing down hard on it, if that doesn’t work try pulling side to side. And most importantly try doing both of those relatively hard. A gentle nudge doesn’t do much on an...

I have the issue of having the rear vents on my roof so if I park front up (as my drive is) my internal gutters fill with water! I basically gave up, I did the external gutters and when level it doesn’t leak.

I didn’t bother with insulation. Just put the headlining back in. But the seatbox and bulkhead have the original foam rubber matting over the top of the sound deadening.
