Sorry, should have said, it's electronic. Will try and find speed sensor :-) Thanks

My Classic's speedo is not working so I've got hold of an identical instrument panel from another Classic and swapped them, but it still doesn't work. I suppose it's possible the new instrument panel has the same fault, but logic says it's at least as likely that there's something else in the...

Thanks for that (and sorry for the delay, I thought the board was gonna email me when I got a reply, but I'd set it wrong :)

Hi y'all. I am selling my Classic (dedicated off-roader with 9 inch lift), and my everyday car (Fiat Punto), and getting an LPG-converted P38 that will fulfil both roles. Obviously it won't have such mental off-roading ability but that's fine, I mainly just use it round fields and stuff...

Hi y'all. I've enquired of a couple of local tyre places that do laser tracking and they won't touch my beast (snort!) because the tyres are too big and they say it will need a specialist 4x4 system like a Corgi (I thought that was boilers). Any advice, either as to whether they are...

Quick update in case it's of interest to anyone. Turned out to need a double-cardan prop. Simple as that. No more grinding!

Want a lend of my hammer? :D The AA Auto Windscreen team just left, they have done a good job actually, once I was able to persuade them that if they have only got the glass that's ok, because I don't want a steel frame anyway, even a brand new one, cos mine's aluminium, and they shouldn't...

In case it might save anyone from doing what I did last week to my poor old Classic, I thought I'd share this small cautionary tale(gate, ha ha). I'm sure it's a familiar story to some folk but if you've never done it or thought about it, this might just save you from a world of pain. The catch...

Thanks Ed. I did contact them and I will probably be taking the beast in there at some point for some other stuff, but I ended up going for Longlife Exhausts (longlife.co.uk) since they seem to have a very good reputation on the interwebs, and stainless exhausts is all they do, all day every...

Thanks, I may well take you up on that! Dying to get out again.

Can anyone recommend (by PM if you like) a good exhaust fixer in/around New Malden / Surrey / south London? Standard bits will not fit my beast.. it needs a specialist. tvm

My 2p's worth: 1. The cheap ****ty walkie talkies (licence-free, PMR, half watt) you can buy at Dixons etc are basically crap in terms of range, even the good ones. 2. If you want walkie-talkies then either get 4 watt CB handhelds (I highly recommend the aforementioned Intek H-520), or 5...

My pet fettler is picking the beast up tomorrow... he listened today as we stonked down the A3, and he made various 'hmm' noises, wouldn't be drawn on any definite diagnosis yet though! We shall see. --

Thanks everyone. Sunny New Malden :) Cheers :beer:

Ok. Can't believe I didn't see the current ebay ones before because I did search! Thanks.
