hey jon, hasent made a sound since wales so i brought some axles anyway as they seemed cheap at the time and stronger plus rear disks i will get some genuine seal from rst then, and if your up for sunday that would be cool to hook up, dont mind a bit of lanning ether if that is more up peoples street ??????????

If we do make it sunday be interesting to see if it makes that noise again under strain.

Lol yes I know I have to change the flange. That's the point of doing it lol
But thanks anyway

Yeah didn't mean to try to teach you to suck eggs, just realised your changing to a 200 prop and not swapping 200 axles for 300's...

Drizz · Nov 21, 2012

Yeah my donuts perished and seals gone so may as well do the swap

Nick, headlights... I have been looking into this, sealed beams are still available however I suspect yours will be like mine and missing the rubber caps, you can get them on eBay:

Rubber Bulb Cover H4 7" headlight Defender 90/110 Tdi | eBay

This should stop the lights filling up with water and is cheap. I am struggling to get sealed beams trade as no one really does them, there are some online but most are not actual sealed beams but conversions, even some of the ones advertised as sealed beams so if thats the route you choose be carefull...

Seb, might be interested on sunday, I have got me exhaust fixed and my headlights done, I am waiting on a paddocks order now though with some new goodies so hopefully they will turn up and I can get mine back on the road...

Thanks for the link Jon.
I need at least one new light as the bottom has rusted out on he drivers side.
Think I'll buy a pair and keep my existing good one as a spare.

A few handy points mentioned, some for the notebook. You got heaters back yet Brian?

And Nick, the deed was done, and all successful

Well done matey. Pleased for you.
No hurry up and break something. I need some cash.

Drizz · Nov 21, 2012

Lol I can't afford to I got a wedding to pay for now lol

Jongould · Nov 22, 2012

I got me some new bits

just fitted my new snow cowl for the heaters (just like Sebs

), new clear indicator lenses as I felt like being a bit more barry'd up and a full sound deadening and carpet set so it's like a luxury car inside now! Also done me A-frame ball joint as it was hanging out and stuck me 88 degree stat back in so got decent heaters now, was a lovely quiet, warm and controlled drive home!

So who's doing Essex off road this weekend? Is there some laning going on as well do we know?

Brian S · Nov 23, 2012

We went out last night, did the sexy seven and finished off the night with a disco jammed in a ditch.
2am finish but well worth it.

Drizz · Nov 23, 2012

Whos?

mikeyt · Nov 23, 2012

Was a good night some good lanes that ive never done before a few old ones revisited, shame about the ditch moment but all was gravy in the end.

Drizz · Nov 23, 2012

Opps :rolly:

I'm picking up a disco for breaking tommorow.

If any body needs anything then let me know.

I'm stripping it and scraping it within 2 weeks.

I think Mikey wants the front axle and the drivers seat is spoken for if its ok.

Drizz · Nov 23, 2012

Brian S · Nov 23, 2012

It's a d1 5 door 300tdi with blown head gasket.

Colour is green but not sure of interior.

I won't know all the details till tomorrow.
