Where is it though?

So, to summarise, make sure my nuts are loose and tug enthusiastically?

À good tug and then go pull the wheel off if you've still got the energy... Just watch out as itll go straight for your face😜

Do remember to not take the nut all the way off when you tug and yank at the wheel to get it of as trips to the dentist are eggspensive, or you could take it off and video it for us all to laugh at:vb-biggrin:

I've heard of a thing called a clockspring? Where is that located? Is it worth trying to get that off for a spare whilst grabbing the wood wheel?

That works on my Defender but was fruitless on the 38 but.....I didn't persevere I admit, after spotting it wasn't necessary for a button decal refurb. If I do manage to get this wood wheel it's going to need a full refurb and the leather dyed...

A bit of shaking about and a good pull got both the good one off my scrapper and the knackered one off the project car.

Might have purchased a wood/leather steering wheel for my dhse. In the past I've stripped my wheel down to refurb the buttons but after removing the big nut I couldn't get the wheel off the splines. I then realised that the wheel hasn't got to...

Green P38 just passed MOT for another year with no advisories :):):)

Sorry....

Mine came from Ireland when I got it 3 yrs ago, can't remember if it was ulster though.

Work the latch with a screwdriver, door open of course. You may find it's sticky, some brake cleaner or similar sprayed around it will cure that. Then adjust the b piller striker.

The pipe to the manifold says it is a booster then. This could be for the brakes or the clutch depending on where that copper pipe goes.

It's proper old whatever it is. Period accessory? Where do the rubber and the thin copper line go to? At a guess I'd suggest brake booster?

Just checked my eBay history and it was too long ago for me to see the one I bought last time. Seller probably gone anyway. Thinking about it, I would never have thrown the old one away. Just a case of finding the right box in the shed ...

Argo on ebay. I confess I paid little heed to brightness I just wanted to reduce battery drain and hopefully get a bit more brightness. It's definitely brighter in there now so I'm pleased. Quality looks to be very good too and delivery was...

Changed all my interior bulbs for led. Boot light was changed last year for a powerful UK complete unit so nowt to do there. 4 x festoon in the rear roof lamps, rear footwell lamp and front roof lamp, 6 x 501 in the map lights, front footwell...

Yes, I'll have a bit please. I'll pm you shortly.

If you (or indeed anyone else) need a new spring, let me know and I’ll cut you a bit off. I’ve got loads left over!! £4 for over 300mm of the stuff, I'll never use it all!
