Looking for some 600x16 tyres for a Series One restoration. Preferably looking for some Avon Traction Mileage tyres if possible as I already have 2 of these, but anything period could be good. What you got? Cheers

Depending on where you are in the country I have a friend who owns a garage who does Terraclean flushes, near Oxford. Dropped in yesterday and they were just flushing out an Alfa Romeo.

I hope you get that out in one piece!

Hi and welcome! An 83 90? That is a very early one, I thought they only came out on a B plate? Could be wrong though... Anyway, the proper seats have runners that bolt straight onto the seatbox. Early ones like yours will have 2 holes at the end of each runner, later ones have 1 at each end...

And is the lift pump OK?

Is the EGR blanked off?

Yes, usually if you disconnect the MAF it will go back to a default map, but you have a chip so perhaps connecting the MAF will override any new tweaked default map, if indeed you have the mod enabled. As for the EGR, what exactly are you trying to achieve? Is the car sluggish and smoky at low...

I've had DeWalt, Clarke, Bosch, Ingersol, Snap-On and Milwakee cordless impact wrenches and the Snap-On (a CTU 6850) wins hands down, every time. Even the older CTU3850 is still an awesome bit of kit and is better than most. Still can't beat a good air wrench though...

I've taken PAS pumps apart and sealed them. You can make a gasket with gasket paper, seal it with RTV, that is about as good as you can get really. Give it a go, the worst that can happen is you buy another pump.

I had a similar issue on my BMW (same engine) when I started running on veg oil. Never actually got to the bottom of it but when I stopped running veg oil it went away. My symptoms were that I would be driving along fine, take my foot off the accelerator and the you put your foot back on there...

I totally agree, but maybe I am getting old but it seems that a lot of companies just don't give 2 ****s about customers. You see this every day with the lack of interest in talking to potential customers, general rudeness and abruptness and poor pre and post sales service. There is a...

So your warranty's would cover this issue? Where do you draw the line though. Without starting a different thread on this subject, there must be a limit as to what you would and wouldn't cover? But either way, I must applaud both of you as this is a service over and above anything I have...

Do garages give a 12 month warranty on work done? Seems a little far fetched to me. But if they do then you are onto a winner!

I suspect this comes down to quality of parts used. I bet the parts weren't genuine and possibly some blue box stuff. I don't know where you stand legally, but I would go and have another word with them and maybe ask them who's parts they fitted. I am sure the garage did the job right but the...

If you look on the bright side, it must mean that your engine doesn't leak if things are rusty in that area! Mine will never rust...

The Discovery and Defender 200Tdi radiators are the same and the frames are also the same except for the mounting brackets where is fixes in the engine bay. The Defender mounts fix to the top of the frame and the Discovery fix at the bottom and the sides. When I fitted a Discovery 200Tdi...

Don't know if this helps but I recently bought a BMW 525tds (same engine) and that was the same as you have just described. I too changed the glow plugs as they were all shot but I also changed the fuel filter and the pump in the tank. Now she starts on the button (when the glow plug lights go...

Looks very tidy for an N reg

Cover it in food and drink stains. That's what mine is covered in.

I've got a good condition one that I pulled out of my 110 when I fitted a Discovery 200Tdi engine. Near Oxford.
