    Diesel fuel pipes ?

    My 101fc (which is now a diesel) is plumbed with clear nylon pipe. Like the 300tdi era builds, only clear, so you can see any air issues. It took a while as there's so many size variants etc but none of it is "push on" but all done with compression fittings and little brass inserts (so the...

    Bolt removal - advice required

    Irwin things may work on that. Welding an oversized nut (so you can get plenty of metal / heat down the hole) certainly will. Its not so much the ability to give it extra grip, as the proper directed heat doing "somthing" to the bond. Mapp is one level - mig is entirely another.

    It is rough. That's why its £70 and not £250. Tell you what, add a £50 to your offer, and its yours.

    Conversion

    The rooves are the same. The chap i bought my 88 sides off (for my 110csw) said he had bought them for his 90 by mistake, so i guess thats somthing to look out for.

    300TDI Disco1, temp sensor locations

    Ive always been told that the issue with 300s is that the headder tank isnt that high, and it doesnt take much to airlock the water pump. Ive had 300s for 20 years or so, and not found this to be an issue, but im not saying some people dont. There are 3rd party alarm things for the headder...

    300 TDI and EDC

    I've not checked but I'm under the impression that the edc pumps look quite different. Much squarer top. But do verify this for yourself.

    Spraying Problems

    Datasheet will give a rough starting pressure for your paint. 2.7 bar seems pretty high for a hvlp, but the datasheet will tell you. You need to set the pressure to give the atomization that you want, and then adjust the needle on the gun to give the flow. A longer hose from the compressor to...

    GETTING SWIVEL TO AXLE BOLTS OUT!! - they are out!!!

    I find that, whenever I actually resort to welding a nut onto a stuffed fastener, it then seems to undo with no bother at all, almost as if it's taunting the effort you went to. I guess it's the extreme heat. I think an induction heater was mentioned earlier, but I've never used one of them...

    Help "breaking in" to a second row door

    Apologies for the omission. I think (not sure) that you may need to sell the regulator with the glass, which would probably rule me out - I think that with that winder (the hex screw on one) the connection between the glass and the runner thing is different. I'm not certain (and I'll check)...

    Help "breaking in" to a second row door

    Some of the winders screw on - the center cap prices out and there's a screw under, but most are the circlip. Again, some amount of inward flex is needed on the card to get to the clip. If you're getting rid of the passenger side winder mechanism (regulator) let me know. The one on ours is...

    Raptor Dash

    I've got one. I had the similar dilemma. The fake leather trim on mine is poor, and, I figured, if I ever wanted to set back to stock, I could just weld up the lower dash and retrim. I fitted it, and it's good - I can't see myself ever wanting to take it out. Mine was second hand with...

    Help "breaking in" to a second row door

    Just look in it's general direction and it will crack and fall off. Failing that, there's screws in the grab handle (assuming 2nd row doors have them - it's been so long since I took the cards off mine!) and the window winder generally has a circlip thing that you have to flex in the card a...

    88 sides - upright bit by the door? (110 csw fitttment)

    So this is the bit i mean - B-post sort of thing. Not on the 110 utility - Im not bothered about keeping them, but its just that ive never seen them mentioned previously on all the threads ive looked at, which is confusing to me! Thankyou

    88 sides - upright bit by the door? (110 csw fitttment)

    I've got some 88 sides to fit on my 110 csw The 110 utility has flat sides going up to the door, whilst the 88 has a vertical upright bit just behind the door seal that looks to be glued (?) on. Despite looking at loads of forum posts on this, noone seems to mention this strip? There's loads...
