Bit off topic but back in the mid 80's me and the ex bro in law used to remove cars from public highways to scrap/do up or strip until the law changed slightly. The change being,If you removed a vehicle from a public road (car illegal or not) without the owners permission then you were due a...

Lol,Bloody nightmare.

+1 on the coil,the fact it's an orange spark doesn't sound good an it should earth a fair way off the err earth plus produce a healthy blue spark so i would say for the cost,change the coil :D Ohh and check the earth braid/strap from engine to chassis HTH.

I must admit that most times when the splines were twisted was down to eeediot squaddies leaving the feckers in 4x4 on tarmac :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Changed easily unless the splines are twisted then it can be a bit of a bugger but yeah i go along with everyone else,waste of wonga an all that:D

Did you change the shuttle valve when you rebuilt as this can sometimes stick or seize up causing probs.

But the reg plate has nothing to do with the MOT and if it's on retention the plate relates to NO vehicle until it's registered to a different vehicle Shirley:frusty:

why????????????????

You can contact the DVLA and put the plates on retention.Then it's up to you if you sell them private or to a reg plate firm.

Very good point,After all you can't show an email of insurance at the PO for road tax for instance. BE VERY CAREFUL.

TBH mate i would wait until the HPI comes through clear as once youv'e bought the car if something is amiss you are then liable and could end up with no car or refund:eek:

:nopics:

Any chance of more info as to what's involved with the conversion. If it's too long winded you could always pm me:)

Nice one,It's always nice to here that some garages are prepared to go the extra mile and also know what their doing into the bargain and not rip you off :)

You guess correctly,Just get a screwdriver behind the washer to bend it forward so you can get the drift on. Don't forget to back the inner hub nut off one flat after tightening or the bearing will get mullered in no time.

Don't suppose ya fancy dropping one of those in my disco do ya ? :D:D

I use a brass drift as it doesn't damage the washer and just for the record i never use them twice unless out in the field and it's the only option.

To chuffin true,You don't wanna go messin around with critical parts of ya landy that ya don't fully understand. Don't know if ya have a family but how are you going to feel if you have a fatal because ya did something wrong. I'm sure someone on here will be willing to give you a hand if they...

Don't have to tell me mate.The Alpina forum I'm a member of use photobucket as well and i could never get the fookin thing to work either so gave up in the end. It's no problem uploading pics to their site but transferring them to whatever forum you want is a bastid :mad:

Very nice,At least you won't suffer from the dreaded metal worm over there :D
