Quite, it can't be a '16' plate AND registered as brand new, they could totally rebuild a '16' plate but it would still be a '16' plate. I don't know how they could put a TDI engine into a '16' plate as it wouldn't meet the emission standards for that date - surely?

My td5 heater is very good, I have to turn the temp down once the vehicle is up to operating temperature

Engine experts may well be along in a moment but my opinion is, it's a CHG failure or a cylinder head crack, however fine. Putting "miracle goo" in it might work but you may just waste your money. It could last a week or years. You pays your money you takes your chance. Deep down though you...

I have 2 oil cooler pipes from a 19j that I don't need. I was going to put them on ebay but you can have them for the price of the postage. They were removed by a previous owner before an engine conversion. Let me know either way.

Have the rear drums been adjusted, if they are too slack they will give a spongy feel.

Send them both back, or ring the supplier and tell them the problem, the britpart one sounds badly made, the bearmach one might be for a Series 2 which I think had a different fitting to the speedo.

I haven't tried them on a 2a. I had some on a 101 but they were mounted on the door hinge and worked great. Personally I think I they'd look too big on a Series. That said they would aid rear visibility, safety has to come before asthetics. Door mounted wing mirror s are far better (imho)...

Why was the britpart one coming out? Are the britpart and bearmach clips the same? Can you use the clip off the britpart one on the bearmach one. If one is not right send it back.

What generally happens is, a tidy solid straight Series 3 has the chassis plate removed and replaced with one from a series 2/2a, they are held on by 4 screws, its that easy. Number plates are swapped obviously. The remnants of the 'real 2a' are scrapped/broken for spares. The log book for...

I agree, and to the left of the patch are rust holes, Iron Oxide flavour crisps anyone...?
