A while back I posted a question about what 2-pack body adhesives folks were using. Someone suggested Optima from Ebay so I sourced one. Yesterday I broke the seal and started bonding in various patches and repair strips. Its quite a thick...

Depending on where you are in the country. This was in wales for 3 days He drags his trailer round a few lanes till we dump it on a campsite.

Something I would like to try been honest, plan is take wife and our dog ideally stay somewhere overnight is well. Could do with getting some AT tyres as currently sitting on normal ones and not sure I would want to chance it unless there is...

Welcome Happy spannering. Been out green laning with a friend & they are good to watch going over cross axle stuff. Oh and all in comfort

Hello Everyone Picked up Discovery 4 so tough I'm going need some forum members help at some point in my ownership due to nature of the beast so why not join in. Been honest I was looking at them for 2-3 years and alway put off by the shear...

I agree with the others here that bulkhead is ok. Most of it will be spot welds and most folk even a novice can spot weld. Preparation is key, spend the money on welding clamps, angle magnets and give it a go. If you can competently break down a...

It's quite a few hours work. Anyone good will be charging £30+ per hour, so it could be pricey. If I was doing it: I'd start by getting it blasted, identify what's really bad. Unpick the spot welds. Day? Jig it up, then weld. Day? Blast...

Iv ignored the invisible poll as well

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...
