Thanks for the input chaps, was swearing like a trooper untill i took the track rod end back off and in it wiggled. Another problem solved!

After searching high and low I still kind find what i'm looking for. Just done the hub swivel seal but cant get the half shaft back in. Sat in the rain holding a greasy pole. Any tips other than just keep wiggling?

I fitted the £40 version last week to replace the rusting colander that was trailing behind and it works fine Think about it this way, 1 x £250 = a 'lifetime' exhaust or A £50 exhaust that lasts 3 years. Say £50 times x 5 = £250/ 15 years worth of exhausts. If you are...

Been busy painting away while I wait for a mate to fabricate some bits for weldy time and happy with the results! nearly finished hammeriting everything underneath and on top now: gone from this: to this: and Ordered a new exhaust and reading the old threads on HD...

ahh you're a star, now I just need to track some down that wont cost £100 from a dealer:mad:

looks great, what did you use? I've got a tin of black hammerite satin to do all the all the trim with when it stops raining

I didn't think that'd take long!

While I'm waiting for my axle stands to arrive for the sills job I've been painting away. Touched up the rear mud flaps as well and really happy with how they look (won't last) Did the factory fitted mud flaps have the mountain design on the front mud flaps as well or was it just the...

Yea absolutely, been out and splashed on some new hammerite so will be painting anything that moves inside out (and properly!) Been mocking up some rear chassis mounts and plucking up the courage to fire up the disk grinder and sort the sills out next week.

its good enough for me: A long term ambition is to knock up some new bumpers but student finances = an old tin of hammerite found in the shed until next year :(

Thought I'd tart up the old beast with a lick of hammerite on its rear bumper and its led to discovering the sills don't exist, holes in the arches and no rear mounts. Challenge accepted! While I arrange to borrow a welder and some lumps of metal and follow the super run throughs on here...

The rents are making me get it framed. . .

I'm keen to get it done because i havent properly got hands on with the car yet, I thought it was a no no to drive it like that? Would you say its ok to drive around without fear of doing any real damage (short term)?

Just to piggypack off this my electric seats have stopped after this: cant image why. . . Do you think the motors are hardy enough to stand a dunk, would the fuse go first? (can you buy replacement motors if they are fooked? I cant find them online)

Cheers for the responces guys, super fast as per usual. Ordering some stuff from paddock to repair, will be my first proper repair so following the guides on here, wish me luck!

Hello chaps, Was underneath with my new grease gun giving the nipples some attention and this caught my eye, doesn't look too pretty. Been searching around but is it deffo the wheel bearing/cv? What are your thoughts and how much is it going to cost to fix...

Its a fair point about taxes, they'll never get cut, but if the fuel companies have been reporting distorted prices and become regulated I think we might see a fair drop in price. Gotta dream heyy

Looks like everyones V8 dreams are about to come true: BBC News - David Cameron 'deeply' concerned by oil giant price fixing claims Fuel under a £ anyone?

Opinions please: I have a disco 1 without an engine but straight bodywork etc, never modded or properly offroaded. And an engine that flooded that is removed from a different vehicle. Does anyone know the current scrap value/selling for spares value? I would take apart myself but...

Hi Guys, I wrecked my 300tdi Disco in a ford this winter so need a replacement engine. Can anyone recommend a supplier in the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire area ideally but nationally and delivered obviously no problem (would be good to hear it running). I've looked at Turner Engineering...
