    Which Alternator do I buy?

    Afternoon all! Hope you are well, have googled and searched this forum and tons of stuff have come up with dodgy wiring and charging etc re Alternators.

    Vague steering after replacing drop arm ball joint

    All the trouble you are having is why I changed my drop arm to a disco one! I now only replace standard ball joints on the drag link. A lot easier job! Once you have the original drop arm off or course!

    Salisbury Axle Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

    Hi, might be interested in the axle...if it has radius arms as well and is good nick.....PM me the details and what you want for it please? Just don't fancy spacers myself as I have heard it puts strain on the bearings etc. I also like the look without spacers i.e. just nicely sits under the...

    Salisbury Axle Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

    Thanks...was planning on doing just that....love shiny new parts.:p Just need to sort out the front axle now. :eek:...will most likely go with a 300tdi and swap over as they don't cost as much as a rear Salisbury.

    Salisbury Axle Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

    Can you explain please? Later thinner types? Do I order 300 tdi drive members or HD ones like I fitted to the rear?? EDIT Yes I see what you mean...funny I don't notice until its pointed out. The front Drive members and Half shafts protrude a good 6 mm (as Jai points out) from the outer rim of...

    Salisbury Axle Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

    I might just borrow a boost from someone and try I think! if they don't can I run them without the cap? As the boost will seal the shaft from dirt etc?

    Salisbury Axle Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

    You have me there! Thought it was just the drum not the drive member? Front axle is not a Salisbury but standard disc brake. Are we saying I need to alter that as well?

    Salisbury Axle Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

    I have been wanting Boost alloys on my 1993 200tdi since I bought her 2 years ago. But of course a 1993 110 Salisbury has Drum Brakes and not Discs. I did not want spacers either so have spent a good year researching the topic of a brake conversion to discs so I can fit alloys without spacers. I...

    Can you measure yours please ?

    I would put new standard springs in and put helper springs inside those only come into use when heavy loaded and do not effect ride search on this forum
