    Door rebuild - hinges

    So I made a start this afternoon, and straight away I ran into a problem - the spare hinge I used as a test is bigger than mine, all I can assume is that its from a newer model? Its not much bigger, but the bolt holes are slightly further apart and the hinge pin is thinner and longer. I didn't...

    General consumables like uj's and the like can be bought easily from most autofactors - theres lots of them, but if you can, nip over the border to Washington and go to an O'Rileys, they have everything you could imagine and at a fraction of the cost of Canada. About the only thing you'll...

    Which part of Canada? I lived in Ontario and BC. The whole car safety (equvilant to our mot) is a joke. I would just take the parts with you in kit for, ie not on the car, then do the changes once you're there. In Ontario you have to have a safety and emmisions test every 2 years or when you...

    Exhausts

    I'm looking to get a new exhaust for my 96 300 90 and while browsing to get an idea of price etc, I have noticed some are to fit all 300's while others claim to be 96/97 only or just state 'early 300tdi'. I know mines an early one because it has no EGR from new, but are the exhausts actually...

    Electrical question

    So just the same way as you'd do it on house lights then. But what sort of switch is needed, the 3 way toggle switches are on off on, would I need a 2 way 3 pole?

    Electrical question

    Just curious really, but I'm about to put a couple of interior lights in the back of my hardtop and wonderred if it would be possible to have them on 2 switches like you have for landing lights at home? So they can be switched on and off from 2 locations/switches.
