A byway with Royal backing? Can't be bad!

It only does that when I text the mother in law for some reason!

Curse you auto correct.. I ment am not an! Bloody iPhones!

Never claimed I do... However, if I've deemed a set of coil spring compressors will make my life easier, what's the problem? Why don't I need them? What am I doing with them? An I fitting +3 " or bigger springs? An I fitting spacers? Have I bought the compressors so that I can modify them to do...

Is it definitely your starter and not the wiring? I normally bypass the wiring by putting a wire straight from the "trigger" on the starter and then touching it on the positive terminal.. If it fires up I look at my wiring, if it doesn't I look at my starter...

To compress my...coil springs....I'll take my chances as to how dangerous... I've only been a mechanic for the past 14 years on everything from tanks to recovery trucks still got all 6 fingers on each hand

Nothing, as the new turret rings, coil spring compressors, hd steering rods and ball joints or the g/box mounts didn't bloody turn up!

I'm not sure mine will come out much cheaper... I mean, by the time I've walked to the workshop, opened the door, turned on the lights and compressor, found the manifold, blown off the dust and cobwebs with the compressor... A lot of time and labour there! Lol

Someone will be able to clean them up and use them

2.5td... The company are now telling me it's a mount for either the engine or gearbox... However the mounts are too small for either... I'm entirely open to the possibility it's an "improved" design

It's a cracking lane, I tend to deviate off and do the 3 fords at castle acre. There's a few lanes up near docking across towards north creake and then another 3 fords at north creake, walshingham and skulthorpe. More than enough to make a day of it

Hi, my new gearbox mounts turned up from eBay yesterday but they are half the diameter of the ones fitted... The parts factor claim they've sold hundreds with no problems... Does anyone know if they have changed the original design to a smaller one? Or is the parts factor an idiot?

Just use ratchet straps....

Is the car just "clicking" when you try and start it?

Er.... 12v tends to be for cars/4x4 as they run...12vs....whereas 24v tend to be for commercial vehicles as they run...24v....or are you planning on running a 24v winch and 24v system on your Landy?

Whip the earth lead off the battery when you park it up for a few days... Put it on when you come back... If it starts fine it's a fault with the car, if it doesn't... It's the battery. If it turns out to be the car, fit a master switch and use that whenever you park it up. If its the...

I've done turds which are more attractive than that....
