wouldnt they have been horrendously heavy, 1 sqm 8 mm steel weighs 60 kg, I'd worry about the mountings bolts /threads and it would be like driving with someone sitting on the bonnet

Well, in the end, I got him down to €100 which is around 80 quid and I will make up a new bit to replace the centre drainage grill bit since I couldnt find another one around her that didnt need to be shipped in. Not sure whether to make a GRP one or an Ally one. I have Glass at work, but not...

Thanks, I ordered 2

Ah, now the xmas haze has clarified I can see what happened - the site kept crashing my firefox tabs and I double posted by mistake

Yes. Sory. Bad form Am trying to fit things in on a mad 4 day xmas trip back and forgot I had already posted

Thanks. I ordered two.

Hi, Happy Xmas! My thermostat is not working and I want to do the 'hack' of putting the thermostat in the top hose or wherever I am in UK for Chrimbo until 27th and would like to get one (bugger I forgot to do this earlier!) Can anyone please tell me what the part number or something to search...

Hi, Happpy xmas! My thermostat is not working and I want to do the 'hack' of putting the thermostat in the top hose or wherever I am in UK for Chrimbo until 27th and would like to get one (bugger I forgot to do this earlier!)

He replied with the weight, it was 18 kg But if people are using sheets of 4 mm steel, I guess weight isnt an option Tbh I only thought of the extra stress on the mountings, as its not much compared to the car weight I'd like to have a go at a GRP version, onto the Ally frame bit (when I get...

I would, if there was one on mine actually I'm going back to plan A - I know someone with the Ally bits and I will most probly laminate something up or get a bit of plate and make the missing placcy bit

Thanks! I'll leave that then Are they different between different engined FL1 pre-face lift? And are the pre and post face lifts the same? Everything is so cheap in the UK :(

Hi! What do you guys think about this? He is asking €150 (£125) but I could probably knock him down a bit Its here in Portugal so good for me Looks like steel replaces plastic bit - Too heavy? - Rust? Very difficult to get hold of one down here so I am ninterested What do the Gentlemen think?

I have just noticed I have lost one of my front locking wheel nuts (tyre shop must have not tightened it up ......) But reading this (and this), anyone can undo them pretty easily anyway I guess, so I will just stick a normal wheel nut on Maybe explains slight vibration I have around 140kmh tho...

Bugger, it seems that scrappy is actually in Holland with some Portuguese guy here sellng stuff, so the postage is going to be expensive Bugger again back to plan A

Thanks, Just yesterday I've actually found a scrappy that just does LR parts near Lisbon here! They say they have some complete (plastic and metal bits) belly pans for €95 each, that's just 80 of your Earth Pounds! So, to avoid fannying around I will just get one of them as I would have had to...

Hi! Did you ever do this? Also, what Alloy of Aluminium did you use initially, standard 1050 bog standard from B&Q type stuff? Cheers

😁 1. I make sure she is never clean enough to look nice 2. "I am not worried about people stealing the car as I have arranged my own secret immobilisation system ..." I am very relieved with my solution I am far less worried about someone stealing her than me loosing the key, I know myself.

OK, its done! I epoxied the chip just outside the ring, between the plastic ring cover and the rubber ring cover The chip did have to be aligned correctly - it had to be parallel with the key shaft or it wouldn't work (but any rotation about its longer axis made no difference, it just had to...

Chip removed very carefully from key, it had been superglued in - I bet it was me - DOH! I did notice that the chip is asymmetric and shaped so that it can only fit in the recess in the key head one way up and one way round. I am guessing that this means that the alignment of the chip with...

Unfortunately the chip seems to have been glued into the key, so I havent got as far as I wanted to, but I did find that it worked next to the unchipped key head but only if I took the chipped key head appart so that the chip sat right against the unchipped key head, and also just inside the...
