Evnin, just had the pleasure of taking my rear cluster out to change a bulb that turns out was ok and was actually a fuse d'oh. Anyhoo I would just like to state for the record that if I ever met the guy that designed that fixing arrangement for these lights I would set him on fire and put him...

Just a guess but maybe there was a little play in the steering somewhere and now with a change to the angle of the coloumn , it may have exacerbated the play. Just a thought. I know my steering changed with a 2 inch spring lift but that's because it changes the caster angle but that doesn't...

As James Martin said , CC swivel is actually the best solution and the proper way of doing it . The Aussies apparently go this way, but just cant seem to find any fir sale which forces you down the CC bush or Arm causing vibes which a you need to fit the DC prop to " hopefully " iron out this...

But have read that that's what causes the vibes to start as uj's would then be out of alignment, so solving one problem but gaining another. Cc swivels solve the castor problem while maintaining uj alignment. And if really picky, then cranked radius at the chassis end to cut strain on bush .

Hi just thinking about CC swivels as the way forward for my 2" lift as no vibes just a bit of vague and lack of self centering steering. Paddocks used to do them . But I can't seem to find anyone that does them anymore, which is strange. I've heard of people drilling new holes but this would...

Yip Roughly 72" so must be standard 2" lift but still looks massive. Now to find castor corrected swivels :-D

Or actually I'll be staying in Keighley to that weekend which is closer to huddersfield :-D

I would definitely have the decat pipe. Can you post at my cost, or could possibly pick up when down at Alton towers next weekend?

I'll have a look and let you know.

Yip, definitely. That's them all done and poly arbs front and rear, phew. More of a job than I thought, but the final measurements are ,front : 885mm, rear :890 with tools and jacks in . Looks way taller than I thought. Just wish I had enough cash to do the shocks at the same time as I'm sure...

Cheers guys just when I seen a film on YouTube the end result from a two inch lift was more 825 not the 895 I'm getting but as said I'm expecting it to go down a little at the rear once the front is fitted but still some differrence so was worried about the uj's etc if this sounded higher to you...

Evenin all, just wondered your thoughts. I have bought +2 Terrafirma HD springs, I took measurements before and after ( well rear any way, ran out of time to fit the front. Before they measured 810mm from ground to top of wheel arch , now it's 895. that's nearly a 3 1/2 Lift . Does that sound...

Damn I would be soo happy with that, I spent about 1000 on mine and it was a lot worse than that and didn't have leather or owt like that. As said service, clutch and enjoy. But looking at the height has made me wonder if I needed to buy +2 springs as mine already looks higher than yours and I...

Hi if u ment that the key wont turn in the ignition it may just need wd40 in the barrel as mine did, as the key nearly broke off in the barrell. And was like new after that. If there is nothing when u turn the ignition but all electrics find then it could be the imobilizer (like mine) which cuts...

I ran power from relay in driver footwell out through door power gromit into cavity between door and wing up to windscreen wer wire was pushed under and hidden up the windscreen plastic trim to the gutter, tucked up behind the gutter and up the inside the roof bar. The perfect crime. :o)

Cheers guys. A think ill get a new (used) one, as they are about 25 delivered on ebay and then I dont need to worry about another short causing a fire but interesting you have repaired worse brian.

Evnin just removed my electric window ecu to do the fix to get rear windows working as soon as I removed it I could see the burnt diodes and this on the other side , no doubt started from dry joints. Do you think its fixable or time to get a new ecu?

Cheers fellas, will try a few shims, it cant hurt can it and if the worse comes to the worse then I'll just get new bearings. They arn't that expensive but I really cant be arsed after doing the complete swivel ball and bearings on the otherside last month.

Well done mate you have inspired me to get oot there and do mine :D just bought a mig welder. But fook me, I was worried about the hole the MOT guy left in my chasis but damn, mines looks bugger all compared to yours (no Offence ment). And I too had a mate to do mine before but figure that with...

Hi my disco failed MOT on front o/s play in wheel (+ other things:mad:). I checked and re-tightened the hub so not the wheel bearing so obviously the swivel bearings. the play seems to be at the bottom swivel bearing so just wondered if I take a shim out the top bearing pin will this pull up the...
