I’d ave gone t’pub.

In the end, Michael at Eurosubframes sorted me out with the subframe, arms and bolts. He reckons we might need a different rear anti roll bar but we will see when we go to fit it. Once it’s done I’ll update here with the part nos. Etc relevant to our VIN and model.

Thanks, will do that 👍👍

Yes indeed, we were a long time in the canaries, the rover in my profile picture came from Tenerife, we lived on Fuerteventura. Happy days !

I lived in Spain for years before brexit forced us back , it was easier to get stuff sent to Spain than it is to get it here in rural Scotland……

Thanks for the comprehensive replies, very much appreciated.

I did see that ad but they don’t post to the highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☹️

Ours has a manual hand brake and the later VIN …..mystery deepens

Ours is a TD4

I can’t figure it out either! Very grateful for your help so far

My question is, are the arms specific to the later sub frame or are they common across the model years. VIN a attached...

Put original wheels and factory spec tyres on it and it’ll work the way it was designed to 👍

Mine had Spanish navy boat paint on it was kind of flat Matt stuff made a great key for when I painted it green . I initially put the navy paint on it when I lived in Spain thought it would be harder wearing. Anyway it’s worked out fine.

Aye sorry. Was writing the same post for a guy who’s got the problem wi a mustang. I’ve not even got a heater in my series so I just left the rad cap off an stuck the burping funnel in and topped it up with coolant as the air came out. ( on the ‘stang I had to jack it up on one side where the...

Burp it Fill radiator, leave fill plug off. Fill coolant tank, leave cap off. Stick a burping funnel in it if you’ve got one Start engine, turn heat to HOT both sides. Run engine idle until thermostat is open and you have heat coming out of the heater if you’ve got one… Once air stops coming...

Yes indeed! Think mine is completely seized

I’m 6’4 and 18st with arms like a gorilla…..only way I think is to drop the tank. Madly annoying that the bung is seized, tried it last year but was worried about ripping the arse oot the tank

Hmmm…will give it a go or a wee touch wi the Aldi welder 👀👍
