Boringly, the alarm / immobiliser / keyfob I got with my ill fated 110 CSW doesn't work. Perhaps slightly more interesting though is that none of the door switches which turn on the interior lights seem to work (i.e. when the doors open the interior light doesn't come on), even though both...

Thanks Redhand - I'm going to try and fix it first but if I destroy it in the process I'll be in touch. Also, it gives me a chance to use the Dremmel as it was meant to be used as opposed to engraving badly scribbled birthday messages on the backs of watch cases.

I salute you! I've got a dremmel somewhere. Excellent idea!

Yeah, by mistake. I was being a lazy sod when I was changing drill bits (starting small and going up a size each time) as the drill I was using had a reverse gear rather than use the chuck key I was sticking it into reverse and holding to chuck to open it, slotting the drill bit in, then...

Now without giving me loads of abuse for putting a second spare wheel on the bonnet...(which I'm doing because I bought my landy with the mount in place and it looks pants just having the mount poking out of the bonnet)...the feckless wonders who had it before me managed to shear the head off of...

Greetings. I'd be very interested to hear what the cause of it was and what has been done to fix it. Result about the warranty. Hope you get it back in time for the snow!

Finished!!!! Typically the alternator was the heavy duty model and it was 50% cheaper to refurbish it than buy a new one. I got someone else to do it in the interest of speed and them being better at it than me. So four months after buying it, it's (back?) on the road and I can start rescuing...

Cheers Trax. I had to bypass the alternator completely to get the battery light on the dash to turn on; as soon as I include the alternator in the circuit again the light doesn't come on (this is all with the key in ignition position 1 so 'all' of the lights should be on before starting the...

Hello gallaghb Your siderunners on your profile pic are exactly what I'm after for my 110 CSW. Do you mind telling me where you got them from? Cheers lots. Chiefweasel

Thanks for that; AJD are pretty close to me, I had a chat with them a couple of weeks back and they sounded really helpful. At the risk of hijacking my own thread, where did you get the side runners on your profile picture? They're exactly what I want to put onto mine. There was a 110 CSW...

I've got to admit, even though I was effing and blinding at it, I had the same smile I think you have :D Once it's functioning properly I'm going to sort the bodywork and make it look as good as it works - I'll start a new thread for that.

Just when I thought I was finished with this saga... Everything went back together and I didn't have any worrying nuts/bolts/washers left over. I started her up and let her idle for fifteen minutes to heat up and make sure nothing went pop. Not only did nothing go pop, but nothing heated up...

Cheers for that, fingers crossed I won't need to :)

2.5/1000 for the honing. The cross hatching gets down to silly small sizes at 25Ra which apparently wears down to 20Ra within a day of use. Out of interest I'll keep an eye on the oil filter and see if it picks up anything chunky after a short while, but at these small measurements I wouldn't...

Went for the rebuild work instead as I heard a few horror stories about replacement engines going sideways and, as I'm going to keep it indefinitely (ask me this time next year if I still have it...), I want certainty of what's under the bonnet. Couple of things worthy of comment here: We...

For anyone interested in seeing how this sorry story turned out (and hopefully to stop it happening to anyone else) it continues here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/help-needed-black-exhaust-smoke-overheating-rattling-hot-engine-conking-out-195052-4.html

Cheers, espesh about the last ream. I'll get pics up shortly.

Perfect! This is the benchmark.

Thanks Daz. I've got £2k in the warchest but if I can spend less than that fixing the engine I want to spend the rest of it on the electrics and attending to the cosmetics (I've got new seats/ladders/steps/light guards etc waiting to be fitted) but it's dented to buggery in places and the wiper...
