...and assuming they even bother to talk to you...

My experiences... Craddock - Good, but recently slow (Covid-related?) Paddock - Were OK, but stitched me up on their loyalty points scheme. I had cancelled an order and reordered stuff when I realised I had the wrong parts on an order, but they screwed up the points but just seemed unwilling to...

It looks like Wurth will only supply to the trade. Looked around the web for any other suppliers, and the only place I could find were two sellers on ebay; Demon Tweeks and JJC Race and Rally, both at pretty much the same price. Turns out these are companies share the same directors, which...

Looks more like the wood has been cut out to allow the foam to sink down lower into the metal tray....perhaps a tall previous owner?

Thanks, although I've already ordered the Bearmach ones. Fortunately I have an almost endless supply of holes, and a big box of grommets. too. :) I did look at the Wipac ones, although I'm still boycotting Paddock, so I'd have got them from somewhere else anyway.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Unfortunately | can't access Makro or Booker. Although looking for catering paper rather than automotive stuff is a useful pointer. Thanks, all - I'll keep that in mind in the future. Found some Wurth stuff on ebay from Demon Tweeks, but it's £35! Ouch. Does...

Does anyone know a brand/description and/or source of good blue roll paper, please? I had some really good, strong, thick stuff from ebay a couple of years ago, but bought some recently that I thought was the same, but it's just terrible and breaks up as soon as you try and use it. Thanks in...

OK, cheers. I'll order a pair of sets, then. No only do some of the original parts seem to be made of unobtainium, but those that are available seem to be very pricy. Just the front bezel seems to be nearly as expensive as the whole plastic-type kit.

To address point a in the original question, both terminals on the solenoid are equivalent, so it doesn't really matter which terminal goes to the battery, and which to the starter motor. What matters is that you connect any wires that went to one terminal (if there were more than one), to the...

About to refit the last few bits of bodywork, now, namely the wings. Just need to sort out the lights on them. It looks like the old bowls are rather corroded, and while I've not yet drilled out the rusted screws to check whether they can be salvaged, I'm assuming they can't. So I've been...

If you've got a wheel that's prone to both locking up and spinning under power, I wonder whether it's just very old and the rubber has turned to concrete. Do you know how old the tyre is? They do get hard with age, and lose grip.

I recall I was able to get one (the longer) tail of the split pin into the hole fairly easily, and then rotated the split pin (using it a cam to compress the bush) to allow it to mostly go through, then rotating it again to get the end out the pin out at the other end. So not a lot of force...

...Or melted the insulation off a significant portion of your wiring loom.

Very true, although the advent of hybrid/EVs will recover the energy that gets wasted in conventional brakes. Although it's more than just braking...it's anticipating the road and other road users, better. My everyday car is a heavy auto saloon, but I got 90k miles out of the brakes...

I don't *need* one, but I've wanted a ride-on mover ever since I was a kid!

Can I ask where it's mounted, please? I was thinking of getting one of these as a quick and dirty solution. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254209779259 Not quite as elegant...

I *think* there is enough movement on the manual lever that it'll move the diaphragm even if the follower stops on the peak of the cam lobe, but you definitely won't get a full stroke. You should be able to put a finger over the inlet and outlet ports to check the pump is working, before...

Interesting. I've fitted new drums/shoes/cylinders to my braking system in the rebuild, but I make the mistake of buying Mintex shoes (before I saw all the negative comments in the forum). I can't remember the make of the drums I got, but while I've not driven the Landy yet, spinning the wheel...

Which type did you get?

Tried to post this morning, but looks like I forgot to click 'Post'! :rolleyes: I had a very similar problem. Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly what I did to solve it. I ended up taking the pick-up out of the tank, looking for air leaks, etc. I didn't find any, but when it went back to...
