    What door card type do i need?

    H Hello Mate, I got my door card from recovery 4x4 on eBay for £80. Easy to fit to main frame. Made from abs plastic. They sell ones for different models but I’m sure the one I got would fit yours. One of the lads said metal one helps support the door which is advantage over this but I beefed...

    That story was in the news again just a couple of years back. People are trying to locate the wreck to see if it was shot down. Some reckon it was shot down. Guy had been in Vietnam and wanted to just go home, must have just had enough eh. Brize Norton is actually a huge place. Biggest one in uk...

    I wouldn’t know mate. There is a club in the uk for capri owners. The Old Ford’s sure have a fan base. My other half’s old man has a 87’XR2 he wants to either sell or rebuild, I’ve told I’d buy it if he sells. Be a good project as it’s complete. It was put away dry stored 25 years ago. It looks...

    Yes mate , Brize is quite a big airbase for the UK. Transport hub etc and a training school for parachuting. Few different types of aircraft based there. No Hercs anymore, a brain surgeon in the MOD decided to punt them all, bit silly if you ask me. Very good aircraft.

    A few of my mates had the Old Ford’s, capris, xr2, xr3, all great motors. Cousin had a souped up capri too…terrifying at speed with him at the wheel😂 plain old me had old series that used to arrive about a week after that lot. They used to rip me to bits about its speed. I know Carterton well...

    Yeah. Aint nothin like the real one…can’t replicate the 80’s either…more the pity. Vauxhall had the new viva a few years back. Didn’t think much of that either ✌🏻

    Head lining

    Glad I could help. I’m happy with the finish, looks like factory. Meant to say there is no smell either. Hope you get it done.

    Head lining

    Was quite surprised how it turned out too. Took a chance on it and I’m pretty happy with the result. Could recommend it to any of you lads if you’re going to try it.

    Head lining

    Hey mate. Changed my headlining to a black one and painted my visors with Matt black vinyl paint. Turned out great. Will take a photo tomorrow and put it here and the make/type of paint I used if it’s any help to you. Was very easy to paint. Took em off and laid them flat and put a few light...

    1985 90 brakes sticking on when engine warm

    I think your brakes are binding..I suppose it’s maybe coincidence the engine is warm from a few mins running and the brakes are warming up from the motor on the move. Drums rear and discs front? Try checkin the brakes are bled and something daft like a pad hasn’t came off and jamming up. How...

    Dear GillianB-careful with those gator/mule types. Belt driven transmission so if it gives way your on a skateboard. My mum is 80 and I give her my 300tdi 90 to feed her animals, same as you. The power steering and a side step is the secret weapon to making it easy to live with. Is it possible...
