Well it just goes to show that you can’t cover every eventuality. Parked in Bayeux this morning and came back to find that some yob had attempted to wrench off my snorkel. They had managed to detach it from the A post and it was hanging loose...

I think you will find that weld is nowhere near the cooling jacket and the block has cracked as something has let go in the bottom end in the past.

Cornwall I think. I know it's quite interesting to compare prices but rather pointless at the same time as so many variations between people circumstances. For us Lancaster were also not competitive. Adrian Flux, in the past, we're actually one...

Bet I’m being an absolute clown and have knocked the ac on. I cut the belt so forgot I had it 😂😂

Not sure how the engine fan can come on before the engine starts? Unless I am misreading something?

It does seem like a break up of the windings/insulation inside.

They normally make a noise when they are on the way out. I just remove these & go electric. At least the engine will warm up quicker

Yes, I have read that but haven't tried it. Maybe the new unit is working as it should and the old one didn't.

Do they not start in the "locked" position then go lose shortly after? I thought in general they usually fail in the lose position. Sorry for the crap technical terms, engine bay looks proper tidy. What brand rad did you buy in the end?

Big roll of news paper normally stops them. Better than fingers to test if they are working.

Knackered fan ?

Definitely a defender type truck cab. I know when I took the glass out it was a snug fit & re used the rubbers

the thickness of the glass,thickness of panel and overall diameter will affect the fitment try Direct Seals they do a good range of clayton seal

Does the new seal look the same as the otherside? Take a photo looking from the front of the truck cab,they are a different shapes for series/defender

erm ... next time i disconnect my handbrake ..... it poped out wihtout issue now :vb-groan2:

Thanks for the reply. I'll move them in a bit then, more central to the quarter panel or a ⅓ in? I've fitted the reflectors onto the crossmember at the outermost points, as that's where they were previously.

Bring the fog/reverse in a bit(if you have handle to affix) Also need space for the red reflectors for MOT

Oh and I’ve found the ideal spray booth ! Forget building it in the garage! I’ve just been granted planning permission for an extension on the back of the house replacing my conservatory which we seldom used for a 8x6mt kitchen / family room, so...

The seabelt points on the rear tub are now drilled and ready for final fit: And the LH B pillar is done too: Just need an hour or three to get a clear run as the sealant wont give us a second chance. Time for a few patch repairs on the front...

l think you're right. The only Ineos Grenadier classed as "Commercial" with HMRC is the two seat version. l don't think the Puma 110 Utility (5 seat) is classed as a "van" by HMRC l would have to just keep it as a private vehicle and charge the...

Little MG had a car pull out on it on the way to the ferry in Portsmouth. Had to have a be headlamp fitted(we supplied the landrover one which fits) Day later diff seized and was loaded onto a trailer. Driver & passenger had spare seats in the 2...

You DO have to have all your documentation. Driving licence. V5c (not a photocopy) Insurance certificate with "green card" type bit in many languages. And allegedly even your MOT. We carry all of the above.

Based on my S3, if similar could it be a hole in intake pipe in tank allowing air to get in when level drops

Have you seen his freds :). He will have you a TD5 and spending money the minute you see it, let alone a drive:D. J

I thought all pick ups were now high tax for business? Even if you remove the seats it’s still taxable

120 miles of working today. Moving hay horses and junk for people Added 50ltrs of fuel

Just spent the past 2.5hrs undoing and freeing up one front radius arm bolt, one more to go tomorrow. Seriously thinking about taking up stamp collecting as a hobby instead!

Yes price is per kg, not sure how much that is at the moment. Previously Ive sent them to Roften in Merseyside but this time they are heading to Shropshire galv.

I just use AirPods when needed
