You couldn't use it in a hard top.

I’m not sure why it’s died as I haven’t had time to do an autopsy. The oil was very metallic looking though when I drained it:( It got me to Wales and back, though. Even though it sounded dreadful and vibrated in a most unnerving fashion between 50 and 65. It felt as though I was gently...

That’s correct. Well, in my case it is! The fact that I spent a small amount of money and a day of my time and effort pays absolutely no part whatsoever in my opinion of how much I liked my upgrade to 1.2:D! In my use, I can’t think of a single negative (apart from the fact it expired and I had...

You will have to undo the big nut in the middle of the flange and remove the flange from the box in order to remove the prop bolts from the flange. To undo the big nut, engage diff lock, Apply hand brake, chock wheels and eat spinach!

Did you brush it on, roller or spray. I’d never heard of Arc rite until you posted that link. I see it uses xylene thinners.....does this pose any problem? One last question - does it need thinning to be applied with a roller? I ask for myself but it may help the OP too.....

I went from 1.4 to 1.2 in my 90 (300tdi) and I loved it. I could easily pull away in 2nd, accelerate well and sit at 70 all day. I don’t tow or carry much weigh. I can report NO downsides from my experience. The tx box shat itself though so I’m now back with the 1.4. Ratios in town don’t seem...

I replaced the studs on my military door tops with stainless ones. The top of the stud is M8 and screws into the door top, up to a shoulder on the stud. There is a 10mm dia shank which sits in the tubes in the door, and the stud is threaded M10 to accept the nut to hold it all together. The mild...

Holy cow! I’m not buying one and I need a sit sown after seeing the Famous Four price!!!:eek:

I used the click type on mine. Just hold it very steadily once you’ve achieved the click.

Not the best picture but you should be able to make out the bracket and part number.....ETC8854 Ignore the red circles - it’s just a pic I found on google....

The V8 looks particularly sweet! I loved mine! And welcome! It’s a great forum!!

Surely it can’t go there.......it doesn’t appear to trap ANY water in that location!:D Id look for a similarly shaped rust hole. That’ll be where it’s from!:D Love that colour Disco!!

My mate did the same many years ago on a 2 yr old mk1 mondeo! He drove it around for weeks until I had a look at it. By which time the wheels were shot as well as the studs and the nuts. It drove like a sack of sh1t. Goodness knows how he managed to live with it like that!!! I once forgot To...

My word that’s pretty! Almost seems a shame to run it and get it covered in oil:D All your own work? Looks stunning!!

Angel delight every time! Ideally with a flake crumbled on top :)

You’re welcome, mate!:)

Paintman....... https://paintman.co.uk/product-category/coach-enamel-paint/ PA Blanchard...... https://www.pablanchard.co.uk/ You may need to call them though as not much is listed on the site. I bought some paint when I bought my 90 from them about 4 years ago so they did do it......

I have this link saved in my favourites for when I do mine. It’s been on the to do list for about 3 years now! https://marcusglenn.com/military-vehicle-paint Maybe worth trying PA Blanchard too..... Or Paintman. Hope this helps!

It’s all good there, rain or shine (as long as you can keep dry:D)

It’s crap weather here too. No tinkering today :(
