I have a N plate 300tdi import. The handbreak has snapped (cable) and i am really struggling to get a new one. The problem seems to be is that it is a import. can you please Help....my business is going down the pan. Not even my local garage can find on?

It could be anyway but if it is near a road then you have got very lucky indeed. Could be anywhere from a cow shed in the middle of a farm or in a ditch in the middle of a field 5 miles away from any main or b road!

When you think about it the tyres are the last thing you should budget on. I worked in a breakers and was shocked on how many people wanted re moulds. On many occasions i asked 'Do you have a family with kids etc' they said yes. Outside they would have spotlights on their cars or some huge...

I might bare that in mind . It's not for fashion just sensible when trying to track down a lossed Falcon using satallite navigation connected by a transmitter. The height , just two inches and a good light set up to spot the bird from the road even by lighting up the field in the dark. As many...

You put the doom and gloomers to shame:D:D Your right after a week of disposing of that CAT it is much much better . Glow plugs my A**E:p;)

I am a little surprised at the views? I thought i was setting myself up for some flak! But it seems it has surprised some that there is no need for springs just simple spacers. I guess he was right. I know he has been in the game many years and has worked on hundreds of them so who was i to...

I use the towbar so that's not an option. Extended shocks has also been a option but then we are discussing on whether spacers under the original shocks would be good enough as reccommended. Perhaps there is someone has only used the spacers and can comment. Lots of options and all very...

I do pest control so i do some shooting,trapping etc and it takes me to quite rough muddy tracks so to answer the question i guess it's not that drastic off roading but i could do with the 2 inches, also the tow bar at present can get a bit bogged down. Also where would i just get the spacers...

Interesting! My local Mechanic who has a Discovery which must be about 6ft high (well you know) and just about everything else told me you really don't need them as the 2 inch spacer needs nothing else to be bought or adjusted and it will be fine. Just saying what he said:confused:

A set of spacers under the springs for a 2 inch lift. No spring upgrade and no body lift. 20 mins job! Or am i missing something here?

Do they actually want members?

Well i am as fresh as a daisy on here but building up the 300TDI slowly for some off roading. Just thrown the cat in the bin. I guess i expected a bit more of smokin on start up but for the first 10 minutes it's like a icelantic volcano going off then it clears. Ok when warm start off Is it...

Yeah i will join you guys on this. Ihave tried twice with no return:confused:

Supposing i do want it for fashion what's it to you eh? Well i don't just for green laning so Ya don't know. Well i tell ya why i need one... why because i do pest control and they are great for 'Lamping' whilst shooting' . I did not want to put it in in case i offended anyone with such antics'...

I did do the search option but could not quite get the answer i wanted. I have a 300tdi 1996 and i am thinking of obviously a roof bar with spots. I am not sure whether to go for the connecting one to the rails or to the grooves on the side of the roof? I probably will not do off road but i...
