Jack wise all I have is a Ford mondeo jack. Can't get hold of fiL. Is this usable lads?? Can sling an axle stand in boot anorl

All my decent jacks are under the FiLs lightweight. Is a freelander jackable on a 'ford' jack or a bottle jack? Never fiddled with FLs so would be no help on that side.

What do you need tool wise. Sockets? Jack?

Foundry 4x4 are localish, probably not open until Monday mind. Not familiar with Ebbw Vale at all. All I can suggest is get a bar of cheap soap, yep, soap and rub a chunk over the leak point. Then build up a 'bank' of soap over it. Then wrap some cling film or tape over it to give some rain...

Just fitted the door locks. Work a treat. Many thanks fella.

He said jobs a good 'un as long as they are in working order. He's working solid for the next 2 weeks so if you'd be kind enough to post that'd be great. I normally use collect+ as they pick up at corner shops etc. I'll send you a PM so we can sort the paying etc.

Will speak to father in law tomoz mate and confirm with you. Probably on for them as he's been looking for a while. Cheers

Do you have the drivers door mech and boot door mech knocking about?? If so, how much possibly posted just over the bridge if I can't get my brother to swing by as he often ventures eastwards

I'm not gonna proper chuck my hat in the ring quite yet - we're waiting on Richards to deliverise a noo chassis for the Lightweight in the next few weeks - then thar rebuild begins. Once that is sorted, then its Mulberry's turn to get some fettlerisation. If that comes off in time, who knows...

Doing up a D2 for a mate and have discovered that the drivers door and the boot door mechs are suffering from the dreaded notworkingitis. Tried the old WD40/lube trick, talked nicely to them, threatened them - yet they still refuse to function... blinking electrickery! Any about that work for...

Father in law has had the OK from 'er indoors to go ahead and order a shiny shiny galvy chassis for the lightweight project. He's tasked me with selling the new bits he's bought for the chassis resto that was slowly taking place. I figure that as we've done the graft on the old chassis in terms...

Need my Merc C200 moving from Pontypridd to Bradford area as cheaply and quickly as possible. Got a buyer lined up, but struggling to get the blinking thing shifted. Its got a buggered turbo and is blowing smoke like a 40 a day tramp so needs trailering or whatever as its not driveable in its...

I'm surprised they are still going as the amount of letters they are still sending me asking for car/home/squirrel insurance year after year is shocking. So far this renewal 'period' for the house we stand at 5 letters from Swinton. As you mentioned Joe - no chance of them getting the business...

PM'd ya Mick in case you want a chat.

Hi Mick, Is it still available?? If its easier for you I'll take the whole lot as long as it'll fit in a mondeo estate and we can find a mutual time that suits. Cheers ponty.

My petrol tank is in the back of my Merc. Mulberry is happily running on LPG at the mo so I'm waiting for half tidy weather to fit the new tank.

Chris - Tell me more.... you sound like you've done this?!?

Father in law is due to retire in the next few weeks and is getting proper itchy fingers to get his S3 Lightweight up and running. Been let down by the fella who was gonna tackle the welding and he's decided its now '**** or bust' to get it running for his European road trip in October.... so...
