Not all D2s had ACE, so calling it a "non-original conversion" is stretching things a wee bit. Put it this way it wouldn't bother an insurance comapny nor an MOT tester.

I am sure Mr & Mrs Steamer are used to taking every precaution to prevent such awful injuries.

Thanks for the ideas gents. As I see it there are three choices when it comes to ACE repairs all with their own pros and cons. 1. Keep it standard. Bite the bullet, purchase two new pipes. For: It was how the car was designed in the first...

And me toes:)

Just fitted new Mobiletron regulator to alternator. Straight away went to 14.45v charging so thats a big difference than 12.6v. Hopefully problems solved.

Yip, was you showed me that one 👍

That doesn't look standard and, the wire has deformed the hose causing the leak, could also be drawing in air.

Have you tried a completely external antenna, just as a test?

Update: Left it running with the radiator cap off, but coolant starting gushing out after a few minutes. Not sure if that's expected? Put the radiator cap back on and let it run again, temp needle went in to the red 🔴. In terms of leaks, found...

Do you know what was changed? Do you go off road at all? Longer shocks can increase suspension flex, you don't need to have the lift to get this benefit. But there are many many different ways to modify the suspension.

Think the price will have gone up a bit since then.

I wouldn't know , but on brass one's the pin is mild steel for strength I suppose?

It could well be the early version that drops below the battery tray 🤔

Got stainless so hoping the centre pin is as well

But the official govt approved gassing of Badgers in their sets is perfectly ok? ;)

What goes around comes around 👍👍👍

Just had a thought that might put this on hold for me. I plan on registering my TD5 as a classic car in the future. I live in France and any vehicle here that is 30 years old and not manufactured any more, is exempt from charges in the French...

The trouble with the piano hinges you get these days is the centre pin ,thay rust out fast

Errrr ... rivets :oops:

Carpet burns are verry painful 😂😂😂

Good advice, I'll take some photos and keep an eye on it!

Have you got some nice fancy nuts and bolts or screws to hold the piano hinges with? ;)

Will do probably at the weekend 👍

You are wise to be concerned and query. Imagine if 2/3 of the weight were at the front on one side it would be on 1 support on the gutter really. But you are also right the feet you have are wider than a lot out there. I would take some...

Bathroom men turned up, dug the newly laid floor up and are now levelling it up ready for another new floor Not plucked up the courage to cut my bonnet yet

Quality is the issue. Good ones are great but modern crap punched out on machines good for a garden hose at best

Great info thanks guys. I didn’t have my jack available so solved it by just rolling the 90 forward and back. Front prop was much easier than rear.

Best thing worked for me with bleeding was put couple blocks under the FR wheel get the expansion tank up high. Is everything checked to be tight after the work and a run in? Loose jubilee or something will draw air in

Hi have installed a auxiliary battery and standalone Glow plug relay with another timer relay. A thick 12v live and negative cables from the Auxiliary battery. But still when Glow plugs are glowing voltage drops to 10.6 - 10.8 the max from 12.7v...
