I must admit the thought did go through my mind! A smear of black silicone 🤫 Thanks for all the feedback, will sleep on it and look at the various options later on.

Agreed, the annoying part about this is that they came from a reputable supplier, I tend to use only the likes of Paddocks/Island/Craddocks etc, they certainly weren't genuine but I would have thought a decent quality aftermarket.

Evening All, I have an issue with cracking front lower shock absorber bushes on my early 90. I am currently restoring it & these were fitted new about 18 months ago, not on the road yet so obviously not had any use yet. I noticed today there are cracks in them, surely this can't be right? The...

Thanks for all that, interesting to hear how you got on with changing yours Flat. Just got to get the old ones off now!! Lots of heat & fluid.!

Thanks everyone, I think I know where I am going with this lot now. Just the issue with the MC now. Your recommendation was to change it for a 110 MC , is it NRC 8690 pre TDI up to 1991 110 MC ? Out of interest how would the brakes perform if I didn't change the MC? Can I keep the old (but...

Hi all & thanks for the info, I think that's answered the question apart from one point. Flat - you mentioned that the discs will fit ok, but as you can see they came as a complete assembly with hub / bearings / seals etc. Can I just drop the whole lot on? or should I remove the new discs and...

]Hi everyone & thanks for your replies. Just a bit of history regarding the brake issue. The Landy is a 1985 90 bought 12 months ago as a project to finish off what the previous owner had started. A load of work had been done but nothing to brakes which is what I am working on now. Rear brakes...

Morning folks At Malvern the weekend I was lucky to drop on a set of front discs / hubs etc and a pair of calipers. All about 6 months old & in great condition. Unfortunately they are for a 1986 on Ninety, mine is a 1985 and the calipers are certainly different but I don’t know about the hubs...

Thanks for that Flossie, that's what I was thinking. They can go in the scrap bin. Cheers John

Morning all. I am doing various jobs on my 1985 90 including new fuel tank, bits of chassis to weld, seat box ends, battery box etc. To make access easier I removed the sill rail as I worked on each side. I removed the pictured brackets from the sill rail area (they appear to be handed) but I...

Thanks Hicap phill, interesting how the pump works, good idea about a switch. Cheers John

OK thanks James

Evening all Getting on with the 90 refurb,sorted out the engine so it is the original 2.5 lt and should be painted red! Corrected some electric issues with new switches so now onto replacing fuel tank.Not yet out but on its way. One thing that has got me thinking regarding fuel is should the...

Thanks guys - found it! Exactly where you said and its a 17H which does ID it as the correct 2.5 engine. Watch out for the next exciting installment on fuel tank replacement!! Who needs Netflix!! Cheers John:)

Ok cheers will check
