    terrafirma rear shocks ,,any good?

    I need to replace the rubbers on the rear shocks as they are shot and was thinking, As it's likely to be the original shocks fitted to my 95 tdi is it worth changing the whole lot and if so was the terracotta ones any good .. opinions gratefully received,,

    rear anti roll bar

    I was under the impression you should remove the anti roll bar when offloading as it limits the articulation which kinda goes against what you fitted the lift kit for in the first place ,

    What an ordeal!

    What an ordeal!

    When I rebuilt the hub I scrubbed the cast housing in the sink nice n clean then painted it along with the new metal retainer at the back of the hub as its only plain tin and will rust instantly otherwise .. looked nice n fresh when done . And yes used the one shot grease that came with the kit...

    Speedo problem

    Speedy cables do a refurbished or calibration service-- for a moderate fee 60 quid I think

    Advice for priming new rear cross member

    Soon as mine arrived from pressbrake I degreased it, painted it with a generous coat of galvafroid and then 3 coats of red oxide .. ready for a spray coating of Matt black once it's fitted ,, ;-)

    Exmore trim rubber mat system

    Does it trap water under it .. during this heavy wind and rain we are having at the moment my floors are pretty wet.. Does look tidy though..

    Inner gutters .. ?? I'm presuming this is behind the roof lining .. that kinda makes sense. As it as always feels damp above the drivers door lining

    impact gun recomendations

    To be brutally honest Sp00k it was most likely more luck than judgment that it came undone ,, and yes if it hadn't shifted I would have gone the home brew mix you recommended..

    Exmore trim rubber mat system

    I've fitted new door rubbers . Front vent seals and masticed numerous areas and still it gets in somewhere.. only thing I can do is remove all the trim so I can see where it get s in I guess .. not sure if I've got that much time to spare lol

    Exmore trim rubber mat system

    I appreciate what your saying .. but I must admit I do quite like the idea that it catches most of the water that leaks in..as said mine also leaks despite my best efforts. I also have carpet at present which is fine in summer but not in the winter when it spends most of the time gopping wet..
