Well 3 days with fuse 26 not fitted and come back to the car sitting exactly as it was when I left it. Think tomorrow I’m gonna jack it right up using the IID tool and have a listen and poke around underneath. See if I can spot anything. If that doesn’t work maybe it points to the compressor...

Yer my brake fluid Reservoir was about half full after changing the brake lines. Can’t rememeber which order we did them now (memory is not my strong point lol) but know we followed the brake bible guide off the D3 forum. Seems to be all good now yes. That’s good, mines much better with the...

Tempted to replace the alternator for a genuine Denso unit in the hope that’ll get rid of the flickering interior light problems https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F362254366924

Hopefully mine last a little while longer yet. Unfortunately the blades I bought for the air saw would be slightly rubbish at cutting through cheese so no use at all on the bolts. In the end managed to free them up by hammering big chisels between the arm and the mounting bracket which forced...

That looks very familiar lol. I must admit I forgot the drop links on mine. Will give them a check over next time I’m near the ramp and see what they are like

Thanks very much fella. Looks like I’ve bent the brake shield slightly as can hear it scuffing on the disc. Will get the wheel off later in the week and sort that

Another day, another collections of parts to fit. This time the front end needs attention. After hearing squeaking when turning the wheel I got a local indi to have a look when they did the brake fluid change. Came back with a track rod spindles and lower ball joint warn along with both wheel...

Whereabouts in the world would it need collecting from?

Hi, sorry these have now sold

Finally, bit of posh work for the “Posh-Roader”!! Did a favour for mother in laws friends and transported two of their horses to a local show. Just 20 miles of country lanes, no drama from the disco and we bumbled along nicely. Nothing here that would tempt me away. Even made a...

No rust is the big appeal I believe, that’s what the people i have spoken to have said. For this summer just wanna get what I’ve got running right so pretty much leave it as it is once the garage have got the running issue sorted. Then over the winter would like to up the power a bit. Twin...

Thanks mate I’m happy. Going away for a week and have left it with a garage that specialises in classic engines to get it up and running right. Can’t wait to pick it up next week. Ha ha I welcome honest opinions over anything else mate.

Time for a little test for the Posh-Roader to make use of the massive towbar that I have checked with my shin more than once! Back story, couple of weeks ago too a trip to the local Classic Car Auctions. Always nice to kill a couple of hours nosing around some cool old metal. Spotted a pretty...

That’s my motivation for continuing to do it myself. Don’t think I could afford the labour on top. Had to temporaryly continue with tyres fitted until payday but car is running well. Am going to be fitting either Avon’s new ZX7 or Uniroyal Rain Sport 3 SUV both in 275/45/20 sizes. Both have...

Yep, forever got stuff to do and my bank balance is suffering. Yer it does, in fact it’s the recommended option do to how difficult it is to get the bearing out. Got a lovely set of 20” for sale ;) Yer could be, can see it being a long process. Must like trying to fix the faulty hand brake...

Aye, it’s had a fair bit done but just seems to be plenty of issues all happening at once. Ha ha yes fully cheating, two new hubs ready to go on. No I haven’t looked into the fault at all yet. IID tool comes up with plenty of seat errors with movement and such but not sure what’s causing the...

@gstuart hello mate, yes just trying to get through the list. I’m hoping with the lower arms replaced that’ll be it for a while suspension wise. Think all the top bushes have been done over the last 3-4 years. Yer they are fun to get out lol. I used a 38mm socket for the new bush. Not a...

Finally got the new boots on which made me very happy. Since then has the brake fluid replaced at a local independent plus has the tracking. Now discovered after investigating a squeak that has appeared from the front end that I require two new wheel bearings, a ball joint and track...
