Just bought tickets. Would deffo be worth emailing people...we came last year and really enjoyed it! Not had much time to play with the disco recently and not been on the forum. Hope it goes ahead.

I just fitted a set of 255/55R18 Grabber AT and they're mint! My neighbour has them on his truck and after 20K they're still not half way worn. Quiet and grippy on the road too!

They're a great way of getting rid of excess wealth! But yours is so tidy...it'll be worth it!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151678143366 There's different colours and buying options. I'm going to have a go myself when I got time...works out lots cheaper than getting it done by upholsterer!

Hi, I am planning to use a product called NyloTrim. I got a quote from a local upholsterer who uses it. He charges £380 to supply & fit to a D2!! you can get it from thebay for a reasonable price together with the adhesive. It's foam backed so doesn't crease (so they say!)

Just checked the mpg (properly) on my auto v8.... 17.6! Over 300 miles of which about 200 were motorway at 65-70mph so I guess that's as good as gets!

Hi K9GDO, got similar problems myself so interesting to follow your thread! My passenger footwell was wet due to blocked aircon drains but that was sorted about a month ago and carpets are still damp! Looks like it's carpets out job for me as well. Also have baggy headlining...what do you plan...

I was looking at getting my chassis treated at Rustbusters. Anyone had any dealings with them? Mines not too bad atm, but I really don't want to be forking out for a replacement in a few years...and I don't fancy the job myself! http://www.rust.co.uk

Until recently I had a D3 as my main drive. The handling and cornering ability of the D2 with ACE in my opinion is better. There is nowhere near the body roll of the D3, especially evident on roundabouts. I'm not a particularly aggressive driver, but it's good not to get that "toppling over...

I've just had a peek at mine..it looks like there's 3 bolts securing it to the chassis so without the bolt heads its a grinder job. I think ACE is ace and will certainly repair mine when it fails!

I fitted these to my D2 facelift. You get both LH & RH. They look & work fine and they're easy to fit. Reasonable quality copy parts with cast body and bulbs included...

A superb weekend. Our first and very enjoyable! Thanks to Funkykipper (group 5) for the excellent leading....no map reading-Just did it! and thanks for the gate openers/closers- we were lucky enough to be in 2nd spot so no work for us! Thanks to all the organisers...it all went very well! No...

Thanks Andrew. It felt a lot deeper than it looks! Great weekend...looking forward to the next! Cheers. Ian
