Loads of threads on how to kits on ebay mostly good value job bit fiddly but doable

Thanks HTR passed on information they now have people scouring what GPO manual,s they can find online in archive (surprising amount). What I can tell you is that I sat at a workbench last night and even in a wheelchair I was able to break apart a modified VCU In under 10min no oil in it but...

Rolling about in my wheelchair has given me plenty of nosey time to talk and watch the chaps and question them on what they want to end up with and why. There goal is to end up after finishing there modification with a VCU that any person with even a little mechanical ability will be able to...

If you cant do work yourself walk away. Turbo easy recon worst way £120 aprox,single mass clutch kit £360 aprox, Rear window fix worst way £45, Add Oil+Filters. your looking at £600 add on garage labour and its just not worth your while

The L series that I have just sold used to hover at 2800 to 3000 at 70mph depending on headwind

Dad lives in North London Miles not Klm. Mind he is of to Malaga Monday just over 800 klm so he will have put another 1400 to 1500 on by the time he gets back to us. The first thing he did on arrival was take the back of something he can rarely do in the UK

Clicking groaning sounds check rear subframe

My father in law has just driven down to stay with us until September in his 2002 3 door it now has 205500 on the clock and is still on its factory fitted drive train. No he,s never towed and no its never been of road but still this has to be one of a kind. His full service history and receipts...

You wont be getting much for 50 quid other than the lesson you get what you pay for. the turbo is the same just different fitting
