I agree with you there...I always understood it was a fail. But both testers said that it wasn't, though one did say that it really should be. Something to do with using satnavs... Yeah. Bollox. :D The conversation stemmed from me saying I would have taken it for mot earlier but was waiting for...

Aren't rocky mountain, and early defender military tops like that?

On my III the door hits the door pillar before it reaches right round. I guess you'll be needing 2a hinges...maybe post in the wanted section? I do have parts of these, but not full hinges, so I'm no help there...

1982. But bits of it are older.....

If they are the 2a hinges with that kinda knuckle shape, you can strip them down, clean them up with a wire wheel, and then get a new pin and brass ball off the bay of E. The flat hinges on SIII's are easier to just replace. They are handed, (so are the 2a ones) and the top hinges can be...

Very true....when we left englandshire I had to sell, give away, or get rid of a lot of useful stuff. Stuff I had kept for years...or there wouldn't have been room in the van for the house stuffs. Kept it for years, and never used. Get rid of it though...different story. Just need one of...

Hahaha...yes, like a Mexicans sombrero! Freezing fog is awful, I've had exactly the same result in the past. I was tempted by heated glass...but then I saw the price.

Should maybe ask if your 109 has a rear tub, or if its a safari? I'm assuming not a safari... I had a flat smiths heater I was going to plumb in the rear tub, keep the kids warm...but they grew up/I never got round to it/I sold the heater.....!

When replacing the footwells I found my heater snail was rusty, to the extent that it was only still there cos the rust molecules were holding hands. I cut half of it off and refabricated it (too mean to buy new, I tell you what). It works a lot better now. Also insulated all the gaps between...

Aaaaarrrggghh.! So, the speedo worked. Got the m.o.t. (apparently its not an m.o.t fail to not have a working speedometer. Sounds a bit daft to me) and it packed in again on the way home. So, I thought that it had probably popped off the back of the clock. Error, nope. Dash in bits of course...

If you went to your user cp as a mod, there was a section in there that showed a list of all posts awaiting moderation. Or maybe that was just my cp, I dunno...but I seem to remember it being there when I was a moderator, some 15 years ago! (sheesh...don't time fly?) It was certainly in the...

Thank you all! Still not sorted the Speedo yet...pimply sissing down here...:/

I agree about the donations, and to be honest I would do the same. It's maybe because I stopped doing the emails etc, and nobody else bothered taking it on. Those automated replies saying thank you? Not automated. That was me. Along with adding the donors badges etc. Hey ho..:) To be honest...

Only had one break, Mrs BS's swb, right at the ball, and also when going into 3rd. That got welded back on again. I've never snapped one half way up.

You can see how its fixed to the box in the above. The black part comes off first, and then the bolts that hold the stick (silver bit holding the ball) to that are underneath. You'll need to take the footwell floors out, and the gearbox tunnel. I have the seatbox out in the above photo...you...

:D

Awwwww. Gone all warm and fuzzy with all them positive waves! :)

Whoop whoop! Passed straight off, no advisories. Haha Darren.... Speedo packed in again on the way home... Smug look rather diminished. But It Passed! Thank you for the good wishes, it obviously helped :)

Well, todays the day. Rebuild finished, time for M.O.T. Don't forsee any problems, but.... Fingers crossed!

Sounds a bit suspect, that....:D Good to "see" you too :)
