Yes, let us know how you get on, I have to do it sometime.

Cut it off and bash the new one in and weld it on, if you have the one with the reduced tube size. I would support the tub with a jack and piece of wood when removing the bolts. Don't weld galvanised metal as its bad for you.

I found the "specialists" wanted this that and the other and were more expensive than normal insurance company. Admiral were best for me and my son, I didn't inform them of the additional security as it wouldn't have made a difference.

Insurance doesn't ask anything from us either.

First thing would be to check properly your main earth and live cables, clean and replace if needed. A burning smell possibly indicates a burned out cable somewhere. Might even be the starter motor itself at fault, can you easily take it out and...

Don't think our classic has seen the road for a couple of years. Last time I took it out I decided the wheel bearing needed adjustment, I put it back in the garage and I still haven't done it. I think the historic route is a plan to regulate the...

Ive fit a couple, they are genuine 304 stainless, fully tig welded and a great fit. With a proper flexi that wont collapse and fail

Anyone fitted a D2 downpipe from Empire? Did it fit, did it rust out in a week (yes I know it says stainless steel) , is it any good?

But can you do that? The upper seatbelt mount may well be too far forward then for the belt to sit correctly.

Welcome What’s the scores on the doors George Dawes

Cut some length of your legs. They are cramped, I'm about 6ft and I can't find enough room to be comfortable.

I agree you are most likely right.

Don't know but you will need to clean it all off first anyway so might aswell seal up the camshaft cover. Mine produced quite a bit of oil when it leaked, depends on how long it's been leaking.

Doom monger!

I would clean all the oil off, pop the camshaft cover out and seal it back up, costs nothing almost. Then you can watch to see where the oil reappears.

You need to post a picture of the gap between front edge of the door and the a pillar. Also see how much play you have in the hinges to see if they need replacing also.

Your welcome to come along. I'll post up another thread next time I go out.

Maybe next time

I was tempted to come down in the F2, but have been doing some work on it lately, so wasn’t sure if it would be ready

Check for oil in the ecu plug and change the injector loom is as good as any place to start.

If it wasn’t a tdi I’d look like one of them dirty vegans!!!

I am sure if you Google the question you will find a company selling card board boxes.

AstroTurf?

Out in the edges of netheravon with flags flying.permissive acsess for work) Not in my normal 4x4 but hopefully won’t be getting stuck…

Yes I agree , I intend to use a 12v linear push pull solenoid , these can be of various power and speed rating , hence asking if anyone had used one , I will be producing a bracket for it and I'm sure it will take a couple of solenoids to get the...

I switch it off everyday.

I had that a couple of weeks back. Then it became inundated with adverts to the point of being almost unusable. Now it seems OK.

I have found you need to be quite slow when putting the Od in and out of gear. Keep us informed how you get on with fitting a solenoid.

Put in what comes out? Red is Dexron 3

Believe it or not I have only a couple on the phone. You will have to wait for some others when I get them off the camera. Just the two of us today, a first timer came along in a 200tdi 90, said he enjoyed the day and would come along again...
