thanks for the replies guys. for the benefit of anyone doing a search and finding this question the answere is that if you remove one spring it does work.

i fitted new parabolic springs and shocks yesterday and the rear springs are rock hard. after a bit of research i have found that 88s have 3 springs and 109s 4. i was sent and fitted the the 4 on an 88. my question is can i remove the second to last (working top to bottom) spring converting the...

had exactly the same on mine. are you talking smoke grenade levels of thick smoke? can you see any engine oil coming from the round black breather on the top of the rocker cover? does the engine oil level drop slightly when it happens? does it happen after about 10ish miles and then its fine...

robint i am a bit **** at sending pm's so dont know if it worked, if you pm me the address you want them sent to i will post them in the morning.

new springs and shocks all round.

hi guys and gals just fitted new springs today and not wanting to rant on forever, i will not explain why, but i have 8 brand new in the packet spring bushes surplus to requirements and going free to a good home. if anyone wants them let me know.

your all incorrect. its the gangle pin and it should connect to the foofoo valve.

check the rear of the front spring, had the same with mine and the bush and hanger had freed themselves from the chassis.

if your landy was made before 1983 and has never had rear belts fitted and your insurance company is ok with it then yes.

if seat belts are fitted they must be worn at all times. outbound front seats must have belts fitted from 1967, front middle 1973 and rear from 1983. this is from memory so double check. the biggest problem is insurance with rear seats, i was told i had to remove the rear bench seats for the...

cheers for that, new bolt then

ok guys and galls yet another stupid question. just had my new rear parabolics arrive. they have a bolt through all of the springs in the centre but on one of the springs the bolt has been threaded and wont tighten, is this bolt used just to hold them together in transit or left in place when...

im with biolandy, drill the remains of the bolt and use a stud extractor to remove it. the only thing that should be mentioned is dont snap the stud extractor, its a bitch of a job/impossible to remove brocken stud extractors. make sure the hole is perfectly clean and absent of any fluids or...

After a bit of help, again, had a mooch around to see if I could find any previous posts on how to remove the glass and runners from a mouldy old door top but can't find them anywhere. Has anybody got an idiot's guide on stripping door tops. Also, had a look at a few listings for door tops on...

how do you turn the key on? do you stroke it or rub it? i would imagine the more lights the better and being from israel may make a difference if they key likes your accent.
