Get a really early 110 you'll have 3 years to get it done up and then it should be tax/mot exempt.......get one now cos I bet the prices will only be going up to stupid heights.

1-put kettle on.

I gave up on them recently, their customer service is crap, very little communication, Paddocks on the other hand managed to send me stuff all through lockdown with very little delay and emails to update order progress.

I got some from paddocks a few months ago and I think they are Ok.

Thats similar to mine except mine was a tasteful brown.You'll be lucky to find one now, they've mostly fell to bits and the ones that are out there are stupid money.

Have you got a steering damper? The first thing I'd check is the track rod ends, there's 6 of them so a little play in one can lead to big free play. You can also check the steering box by moving the steering wheel side to side and watch the rod that's attached to the steering box, you should...

That leaked as well!

One of mine was a Cossack.......alloy wheels, flared arches, central locking, stubby screwdriver in the ignition to start it and rust everywhere.

I had a couple and I'd have another if they were here.

If the Lada Niva was imported again I think the need for the Grenadier or the new Defender wouldn't be there.

I take it you have got the big bearing fitted?

Lol:rolleyes:

Hell no got better things to do .......you want to precis it;)

?

Neither of mine were, one diesel, one petrol.

I guess its non servo so is the switch above the brake pedal? Give it a blast with electrical cleaner.

Yes you will need a relay, google it loads of ideas out there. It doesn't need to be a heavy duty relay though if you only want to keep the battery topped up and not run winches, lights fridges etc from it. I don't know about the change from 12-24v ...............somebody does though, googles...

As a matter of interest does the vin say its a 2.5n/a? Civvy's were 200tdi of that year and thats shown on the vin.

It should be 10 splines at the diff. but the drive end you can check by taking off the FWH.

Could you set up a 12v leisure battery to use for the starter and heater plugs......the stop solenoid won't take much juice from it as its running. I just converted an ldv convoy to a camper but I used a banana engine, you're lucky having the BL gearbox, a Tdi would be nice.
