My trusty '98 reg 110 300TDI needs its rear cross member replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations who or where in (or near to) north Oxfordshire could take a look and do the job for me for a non-excessive cost please? Thanks.

My old '98 110 300TDI has no central locking but does have the old style 2-button fob where one button I believe should (or did) have a lock symbol on it? Anyway, sometimes I get in and put the key in and it starts fine, but other times the red LED comes on on the dash and I occasionally (but...

So the old girl ('98 reg 110 300TDI) needs the aforementioned bushes doing, but there are a variety of options available so which is/are best, particularly in these cashflow-restricted times? It seems I could go for "standard" ones (with metal jackets) or poly-type ones (without)? It feels like...

Much has been said and discussed on this subject so apologies if this aspect has been covered elsewhere and I've missed it, but mine need doing and I can see that there are basically 2 types available, those with grease nipples and those without. Are the ones without even worth considering? I...

Just replacing my fuel sender on my 300TDI and the plastic pipe on the old one snapped as I tried to undo the fuel connection. Looking at it away from the vehicle I don't see how it would have been possible to undo it without the pipe snapping, particularly as it took a fair bit of effort to...

I need someone to repair/rebuild the offside front swivel hub on my '98 reg 300TDI 110 either this coming week or the next as I don't currently have the spare time myself to do it. Someone north-west of Bicester (Fritwell/Somerton/Ardley or maybe Brackley etc?The vehicle is drivable with care...

Just a quick query, what size are the 4 nuts which hold the rear propshaft to the handbrake drum? Mine have clearly been manhandled before and are a bit mullered, so having just had to fit a new handbrake cable I'd like to replace them too. Thanks.

My '98 reg 110 300TDI is going to need some new rear half shafts soon, but I've seen various reports about the different makes/types so since I don't want to do this job again soon, which ones are the best option?

So, having found the old favourite black sludge in the clutch master cylinder I decided to replace master and slave, so put in the order with Paddock. After my initial dismay at unexpectedly getting Britpart parts for both, I went ahead with the job anyway. The master went in fine, but I...

There does seem to be a whole heap of threads on here regarding tyre pressures and related confusion! Is there any kind of rule-of-thumb for it, or is it really a case of trial and error? For me, I have Cooper Discoverer A/T3s on my 300TDI 110 - not by choice I hasten to add, they were on it...

There seems to have been a spate of door and bonnet thefts recently, with that of course leading to access to personal possessions inside etc, and I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this? It does seem like anyone passing by with an Allen key in their pocket could potentially do...

Hi. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this so apologies if not! I want to put my 300TDI 110 up for sale but despite being a member, apparently I'm not allowed to? It says "(You have insufficient privileges to post here.), I have no idea why though. Can anyone assist me please?

I have a spare set of keys for my '98 110 which has a second 2-button fob but this has not been programmed so I can't start the beast with them. How do I get this sorted out? Can the same places that program "normal" keys do it or is it a dealer thing?

My interior light comes on when you'd expect it to, except when set to (supposedly) being controlled by the door switches via the ACU, where it's on, permanently, unless you flick the switch on the light off. Fyi there is no circuit board behind the light, just 2 wires and a chassis earth. One...

The previous owner of my beasty (Hi Mick hope you & yours are well :)) had all the lights (barring dashboard ones which are horribly dim) replaced with LED types. It passes MOTs no problems but everywhere I go I get people flashing me because even dipped lights are blinding them! I'm not sure...

Hi. Sorry if this is a repeated query but I can't find a definitive answer! I just need to find someone who can supply some door key blanks for my '98 110. I don't want to have to replace the barrels, and shouldn't need to anyway as they're not that old (all doors were replaced not that long...
