Hicap phill's latest activity

Fancy posting questions in a thread that everyone ignores… 🙄

Busy few days, finished off fitting the galv capping on the tub, re aligned the tub to chassis and bolted down, fitted the heater fan box, fitted a one piece BRT motorsport braided clutch pipe, painted the vent flap fly screens black and re...

Useful, in the winter, almost neccesary for those who have fitted LED headlights. They will need a heater system to warm the skush though. I'll just stay with the two 55W heater coils I keep behind the glass.

So today since I was off work I thought I'd make the very sensible decision and do some work on the 110... got a gas strut fitted on the rear door, refitted the chequer plate panel on the door and put one of those folding table things on it...

Honestly I’d be curious how the heck your going to get a body with all interior still there for not stupidly expensive money considering breakers can strip almost everything out to sell it…? I’d start with actually sourcing that, no point on the...

Let the motor get to temperature & see if the smoke goes. It will be burning all the oils etc that has sat in the engine for a few years. All should be good…(inspect cam belt for wear/deterioration)

They look like RRC disco 1 head light washers. They soon empty a bottle of screen wash

Wow. A freezer in the Impreza? That’s some optional extra there!

Will do. More tomorrow since I dont think I will have the time of day to fix it today. well isnt that true! Biggest ive had in a while xD No problems for the updates, I spent ages looking for similar knock questionaires and all found that theyre...

I counted about 15 knocks in 5 seconds that’s 180 per minute Assume tickover speed about 720rpm, so cam speed is 360rpm Does it sound noiser with ear to air intake After rebuilding my 200di I had a regular clonk like that , turned out I stuffed a...

I can't tell if this is a regular who made a new account to create some fun; or a complete mong.

So, update on the tuning front, preliminary of course: Mocal oil cooler, Mocal thermostat, Goodridge braided hoses -> only need to be delivered and installed (the old one is leaking) Tubular manifolds -> the original ones aren't tight anymore...

........... knew such a thing existed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/376237746628

What a price… first bush & there off.

My son's Ninety are the same as those above, stuck on . Stupid thing, I'm going to wrap some tape round it and wedge it in the hole.

Not a military no, it's a bit of a bitsa to be honest, cobbled togerther (badly) by The Butchers of Hereford 4X4. The offside wing is a TD5 with the square hole for the side repeaters and the nearside is a 200tdi wing, I think, which has the...

Hull is cold in a different way, when you walk into a pub EVERYONE turns to look at you..... you wonder why but its the fact you don't have webbed fingers.

@miktdish is your motor ex military? Only wondering as my 85 had these and then changed on the TDIs And you get a better pack of these…

Them with stalks are the RRC type. Love the old type lights.

Bloody things ... My 1994 has the long thin ones, you need to pull them away from the wing and then twist the bulb and holder out... The orginal ones were stuck on with double sided tape. Not right IMO. So after a friend of a friend pulled one of...

Swiss? Or late emissions control engine. Most have a simple breather to atmosphere. Got any photos, curious!

Gywn lewis do new covers. Much higher quality

I did a very professional job of ignoring today. Mind you it is very easy to do a comprehensive ignoring when you have such a high-flying, jet-setting, international adventure travel occupation :cool: My mind and body was consumed today...

I had almost this exact same issue not so long ago, exacerbated when towing. I replaced my drop arm ball joint, which impoved it, but was still getting a strange feeling through the steering going into corners hard or towing, I checked...

Drop arm balljoint done. Absolute piece of cake of a job, especially when you've got the right tools. Dunno what all the faff is about lol. New panhard rod bushes pressed in and that'll be going on tonight. The Febi ones are great quality and...

Maybe you did buy crap, what did you buy? Chances are they will be full of dirt and crap now so probably won't last long anyway.

From what i can see that bulkhead doesn't look bad. You can buy new door pillars and weld them in place

When it comes to lube, nipples or little tits…… Maybe I shouldn’t say anymore :vb-weyes: Other than glad your sorted:). J

ah all sorted thanks guys. i undid one of the nuts holding the switch on and out popped a nipple :)) bit of wd40 now lights on when it should be and off when not. Thanks very much for the help

That sounds just right for rusting through at the water trap caused by the double skin manufacture
