    I reckon you could tighten it up until it snaps if you really can't undo it.

    According to the 12volt Planet wiring calculator you would need 6mm for 1 metre length.

    A friend spent a fair amount on some new wheels for his Mustang, while the insurance company were happy to cover them they would only payout for original spec wheels. In reality the original spec wheels would probably be more expensive with...

    Yes one would think so. For specialist insurance they are not very good. I enquired about classic insurance, they would only value up to £5k, really! Also asked what brand and style tires I had.. While the chap was helpful and knowledgeable about...

    You cannot help insurance companies at all. In a commonsense world the premium should go down as it could save a claim costing a couple of grand if the cat can't be stolen. It gets on my nerves when factory fitted mudflaps are counted as a mod...

    I have found that, in general, Corteco seals are pretty good and a reasonable price. I almost always buy two seals for any seal I may be changing, bound to need it in the future sometime.

    The one I got looked pretty good quality, thankfully not britpart or the like. If it started leaking from the old one and now this new one then I'm inclined to believe there's something else going on but I'll double check the banjo bolt. I use a...

    Maybe bad luck with regards to the seal. I fitted a Genuine flange and seal a couple of years ago, leaking again. Also had a seal fail in no time and others just fine. Good job the seals are cheap enough, try another one. What do you use to knock...

    Anaconda posted the thread Ninety heater motor serviceable? in Defender 90 / 110 / 130.
    The heater motor seems to be giving up, seizing up, bearing running dry, rust or whatever. Are they serviceable in some way? 1989 Ninety if it makes much difference.
