Would it be worth paying a welder to fix or would that literally be a case of spending what I would make on the sale ? I appreciate youre offering advice , I wont hold you to it.

Its time to sell my 1982 series 3 2.25 petrol , MOT and tax exempt , I still use it at weekends , it had an MOT up until 2020 ,however as I say it's now tax and MOT free , I've done all of the relevant paperwork. Clean airzone exempt I am the registered Keeper of this vehicle and have all the...

Ive managed to get one , I googled classic car spares and there was a place hidden away 4 mins from my work place BSB car spares , West Bromwich , I called ahead he had it waiting on the counter when I arrived , great customer service , would recommend, one of those places hidden away on an...

Thanks ill have a look , got some possibles there. I would have thought the plunger being stuck in would have put the light on permanently , any thoughts?

Eurocarparts have similar, I might have to give that a go, I imagine the thread might be wrong though.

Ok I've got an issue now, I've removed the switch and its stuck in, Im assuming it should be out, I tried hitting it, drowning it in wd40 and heating it up, I'm assuming that it should be on a spring and easy to push in and then spring back, I would have thought however if it was stuck in...

Good call , just never that happy to wire directly from battery. 😏

Its my daughters prom this week and she wants me to take her and three of her friends in the series 3 , all good on inspection apart from the brake lights , they wont come on , rear lights all work apart from brake lights , turns out no power to switch , can I as a very temporary Bodge run a...

Just an update regarding this , Apologies I know how annoying a post without an update is!! I literally just filled the V112 in and put a covering note in with the V5 , sent it off recorded to DVLA and V5 came back with historic written on it , now when I check TAX on DVLA website it states...

I contacted the DVLA again last night, they were less helpful than before they seem to have an issue getting their heads around the Mot/ tax guidelines and get them confused, this woman said they had nothing to do with Mots ( previous person seemed to think they did) and I had to contact...

Ive just had a ridiculous conversation with the DVLA , I called them and asked them why they had re issued my V5 with no changes . DVLA have advised me that they cannot confirm what date my vehicle was manufactured so they have had to assume it was December 1982 and it would be mot free from...

Ok, so my vehicle was registered in August 1982 which I now understand means it will be eligible after April 2023, not sure why the post office OKd it, Also I'm going to complain to the Dvla , they for some reason have sent me a new V5 with no explanation to why they have done this, if I...

Just looking at it the class it still says private/ light goods (plg), why would they literally send me a new v5 with the same details on? and not return the old one , what a waste of time and money, It is definitely new because Dvla website says reissued on 18/01/23. I'm confused now I'm...

Afternoon, finally, this morning after a month my v5 came back, I'm confused, how do I know if it's now historic class, it literally looks exactly the same, there was no note or letter or anything with it, the only difference I can see is in the very bottom left hand corner of the first...

The Government website is useless regarding Mot exemptions, my series is now over 40 years old, I haven't made any modifications so it is now due for its exemption. The site is all over the tax exemption but I need to clarify something please. If I fill out a V112 form and take it to be...

Morning , just a bit of clarification on something please , the mot ran out on my series 3 in January 2020 , it is currently off road (parked) but not sorn , the vehicle was Produced in August 1982. Two Part question , 1. Is my vehicle tax exempt as of 01/01/2002 or August 2002 ? 2. Does my...

Thats resolved then , I promise that I wont mention it again . Thanks.

Can someone please clarify something for me? , I read that E10 will not be compatible with series 3 , it will run , however over a very short period of time it will make rubber seals/pipes perish , im assuming the answer to this is using Super unleaded instead ?? The thing that annoys me is...

This is the latest , I cleaned it up , and match a patch , it didn't work , the welder has setting 1 and 2 and high and low as well as feed speed , feed 1 seems to just make tiny grey burns and setting 2 gives me a sunburn and is hotter than the sun resulting in holes blowing , any ideas , I've...

Thanks , can this be done with a flux core welder if I get enough practice in ?
