Datasheet will give a rough starting pressure for your paint. 2.7 bar seems pretty high for a hvlp, but the datasheet will tell you. You need to set the pressure to give the atomization that you want, and then adjust the needle on the gun to give the flow. A longer hose from the compressor to...

Disco 1 winch bumper - £70 Bought used, stripped of all the powdercoat, in preparation for getting it hot dip galvanised, but my 300 disco returned to the ground before i fitted it... Steel is pretty pitted where it sat with water under the shifty powdercoat, but it's something like 4mm...

I find that, whenever I actually resort to welding a nut onto a stuffed fastener, it then seems to undo with no bother at all, almost as if it's taunting the effort you went to. I guess it's the extreme heat. I think an induction heater was mentioned earlier, but I've never used one of them...

Curiously I've just seen one cheap on FB marketplace Possibly shafted but you can ask all the questions -

Apologies for the omission. I think (not sure) that you may need to sell the regulator with the glass, which would probably rule me out - I think that with that winder (the hex screw on one) the connection between the glass and the runner thing is different. I'm not certain (and I'll check)...

Some of the winders screw on - the center cap prices out and there's a screw under, but most are the circlip. Again, some amount of inward flex is needed on the card to get to the clip. If you're getting rid of the passenger side winder mechanism (regulator) let me know. The one on ours is...

Ps I've got one of those blue sea style knock off fuse boxes in it.

I've got one. I had the similar dilemma. The fake leather trim on mine is poor, and, I figured, if I ever wanted to set back to stock, I could just weld up the lower dash and retrim. I fitted it, and it's good - I can't see myself ever wanting to take it out. Mine was second hand with...

Just look in it's general direction and it will crack and fall off. Failing that, there's screws in the grab handle (assuming 2nd row doors have them - it's been so long since I took the cards off mine!) and the window winder generally has a circlip thing that you have to flex in the card a...

Take off the card, manipulate the internals directly.

So this is the bit i mean - B-post sort of thing. Not on the 110 utility - Im not bothered about keeping them, but its just that ive never seen them mentioned previously on all the threads ive looked at, which is confusing to me! Thankyou

I've got some 88 sides to fit on my 110 csw The 110 utility has flat sides going up to the door, whilst the 88 has a vertical upright bit just behind the door seal that looks to be glued (?) on. Despite looking at loads of forum posts on this, noone seems to mention this strip? There's loads...

Powdercoating steel wheels is madness. Alloy wheels are refinished with powder all the time, but the moment a steel wheel chips, the water will get in and start to rust and delaminate the powder. The adhesion of paint is superior to powder, and, if need be, can be touched up also. I've just...

Do you know what cat the car was marked up as? The battery issue does seem to be a bit of an odd point to dwell on currently!

My n reg 300 TDI disco had an electronic speedo (ie wire not cable) I don't know if the 200s had a mechanical.

Noone is going to pay to use a forum in this age. I mean, noone... So, in that knowledge, why deny interested parties from contributing? I'm on loads of different forums for different topics. Some I ask more than I answer, and, others, the other way around. The ones where I answer more...

It was always a little patchy, but I would suggest looking up the club secuitary and emailing them direct, rather than going via Facebook. It used to be that you got your copy of the magazine, which was quite good, and access to the club spares department. Then someone has the daft idea of...

You've ordered it now, but there are two kits. One moves the lip from the idler to the crank sprocket (ie the kit comes with a crank sprocket as well as the idler) You (someone) only needs this kit once (or maybe twice as there was a revision to the lipped crank sprocket also) and then you can...

I reckon you may know this, but the fip, at idle, never sits at the "tdc" position. It almost does, but just not quite - you have to get a socket on it and just apply a touch of tension for the pin to slide in and out without friction.

Ps watch out as (and I've never understood why!) there are two slots on the flywheel. You need the right one. One will get you lined up on the injection pump, one will be some way out. They'll both be out if the timing has shifted but one will still be close (else it wouldn't be running at...
