(yesterday) Took the Hicap to Padley wood pay and play! Great fun with my nearly-bald BFG trac edges. Wheel spinning everywhere in that mud.... I was well impressed with it in general though. (When I wasn't sat waiting for it to cool down!) List of jobs - get some proper wheels/tyres and sort...

Just got back from the garage.... I am now the proud beholder of 12 months MOT on my 110! Yesssssss...! I feel like a proud parent.

Working through my MOT failures... Fixed and refitted bonnet catch, bought some side repeaters and wired them in (I didnt have any, but apparently you need them on anything after '86), fitted rear number plate light, fitted middle seat from Waldershelf. Just rear wheel bearing to adjust and...

Nice to know I'm not the only one! Might have a go at strengthening it from the inside one day. Or I could drill loads of holes in the roof, you know - to let the air pass through...

All sold now. Thanks

Just wondered if anyone else has a roof which pops and bangs at speed?! I think mine must have been stood on a few too many times or had too many logs dropped on... Great fun driving with a passenger - hitting 60mph and watching them near cack themselves when they think we've been shot at...

junction 28 of the M1. South Normanton.

Selling my now surplus-to-requirements series wheels. All of them are SWB type. 205 R 16, 6.00 x 16 or 6.50 x 16. All on steel wheels except one which is tyre only. All have at least legal tread, most have great tread depth. Have been stacked on my drive for a while so I can't guarantee...

Just dropped mine off for the MOT.... eek.. I found out my 3500kg GVW Hicap can't be MOT'd at my local car garage. Commercial vehicle apparently. Everyday's a school day!

Just been out to re-attach back body after painting. Turned the ignition on to then here my flasher unit clicking constantly! ARGHHHH. I hate electrics...

Thanks for the replies folks. Sirus - you have a pm. There seem to be 2 types of shed, one that eventually gets full of scrap or the type with everything neatly hung on nails. Or the third type if you live in Yorkshire- one for putting pigeons in..!

Just looking for a little seat for the middle in my truck cab. Anyone got one lying around?! Not too worried about trim colour, doesn't need to be pristine - just useable. I need the metal frame and seat belt would be amazing too! Close to Derbyshire? - bonus! Happy to collect. Can swap for...

Painted the first coat (undercoat) of Coniston green on my Hicap today. With a roller and brush! Went quite well, looks good so far - for a workhorse! Hopefully do the top coat in the morning.

Well, you'll all be pleased to know I've sorted out my horn. Just replaced the 2 purple wires between fuse and indicator stalk terminal. Also now have working flashers! An all round exciting day.. Thanks all for your help

Still got these seats. Another chance, before they get chucked! Anyone interested?

Update - Had a fiddle yesterday.... And had a bit more of an investigate with my horn...ha Checked power into fuse 1, multimeter said 12 volts. Thick brown wire, like Derek said. Checked power coming out of fuse (at the back of fuse) - 12 volts also. 2 purple wires come out and go up through...

Johnboy.... good skills....show off. haha Major Truma - You're welcome to them. I'll PM you.

Forgot to say mine's a 1991 200 tdi. I've honestly never noticed a fuse box under the driver's seat! Thats where I chuck all of my recovery tackle.... I'll take a look after work

Anyone want these seats? I think theyre bmw seats. They were in the front of my 110. They are comfy and have armrests but took up too much space in the cab! I couldn't sit up straight without my head touching the roof lining. (I'm 6'2") You need to drill bolt holes. They have belt buckles fitted...

Thanks James - again! I'll look into that. If I can work out how to use my multimeter to full effect. Honestly, it's like watching a gran with an iPhone. Ben, I'll definitely keep updating. It's good to know I'm not the only one. Never alone with a broken landy!
