I've gone for Delphi from Island.

Thanks Datatek, for the cost I have ordered his bearing and a piece of tube so I can have peace of mind. As I have said before I feel like that lad from Harry Potter who always says "Why does it always happen to me".

So far I have managed to complete step 3 of of the drive shaft and hub assembly section, "Remove brake disk shield". Haven't done anything for the last few days due to rain and I am now away until the 31st. The weather at the moment looks OK for next weekend I'll give you a shout when I am...

Yes Grrrrr, MOT has run out and rubber on the lower O/S ball joint has gone. My MOT garage has put it as a minor for the last couple of years but last time he said he couldn't pass it next year. From just reading up on it looks like there is a chance of it requiring adjustment given the...

I was reading up on replacing the front ball joints and came across these two YouTube vids. It seems to make sense to me. I was thinking you could add a disc that sits on the tube to quickly ensure its straight, similar to the LR tool, rather than measuring.

Isn't that one of the advantages of poly bushes is that they can be easier to install as they dont need to be squeezed through a mount like the rubber ones.

Does anyone know where I can get a bush kit from. Island only do a Britpart kit or Poly bushes. After searching here the consensus seems to be against poly bushes hence the request. TIA Ent

I use cat litter in a pair of my misses old tights. Soaks up all the water and a fresh set acts as well as one of those dehumidifier bags.

Has anyone had their lower boot door re-skinned. I have been looking on ebay and they are offering doors for £80 but they look crunchier than mine where it is now staining almost the whole length of the bumper./ I have now started to think about getting a new skin and having a body shop fit...

I had the U hose pop earlier this year and did post about. Have you thought of trying a breakers for a replacement? Would be cheaper that new.

Now you know how a surgeon feels!

That's a shame, Grrrrr. Pics are always so helpful.

Yes, I have heard of this too. its ATF and Acetone in 50/50 mix. Never tried it though.

@Grrrrrr, do you still have the pics as link no longer working?

Doesn't petroleum jelly cause the rubber to deteriorate and loosen? Wouldn't silicone grease be a better option? Now we are talking the pros and cons of different types of lubricant @kevwill!

Can someone confirm that a Berlingo roof rack fits a P38. I need to get some 3m lengths of wood home.

I am getting the car ready for it MOT as it has expired. I tried to get the system regassed last summer but there was a substantial leak in the system and the hiss was coming from the compressor area. I thought that the leak would more likely be the O rings rather than the compressor so was...

I am looking at replacing the O rings that sit between the Air Con compressor and the hi and low pressure pipes. I have checked LRCAT and it just lists the parts as sizes and does not show which of these parts is connects the compressor and pipes together. Is anyone able to advise of the size...

I use a set of camper van leveling ramps. Manged to get them off Flebay for a couple of quid as I needed to get the MX5 high enough to get the jack underneath. Works fine for the Landy and if I need anything higher I use a jack and axle stands.

Yes my pins snapped too. I manage to knock them out by grabbing the last remnant of the pin sticking out with a pair of long handled nose pliers and a hammer.
