Yeah I have another kit so not a huge deal, I just planned to be lazy as I don't have that much time before I head off on friday. I think they're from the rollers, the inner race has marks too but not as bad, and they're only on one side of the...

I've just taken my nearside hub off hoping to repack the bearings rather than renew as I did with the other side due to oil getting into the bearings from the axle... Yeah I don't think I'll be repacking with races like this... I guess that's...

That looks like someone has really gone to town on it! I hope mine doesn't end up looking like that when I come to change my bushes! I have all the bushes and new bolts to do it, just need some time to get around to it as i'll be DIYing it...

Mine is constantly somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2, it's like fuel roulette. I really need to look into it, feeling like it very much could be an earth issue or something else electrical as I had issues with the temp gauge to begin with too.

If you live locally I would just go and look at it, if you don't know what you're looking for regarding rust etc take someone who does. Of course as people have said above check the VIN, everything needs to match, pay for a carvertical check or...

I think it looks quite nice. I think I'd prefer it if mine was that colour rather than your typical army/nato green. Speaking of mine... day 3 of doing things, I dug into the misfire, played about with things, got it running better... nearly...

At it again for a second day in a row... finishing off the wheel bearing, which was easier said than done, having made a bit of a mistake yesterday! I got there in the end though, swivel housing refilled and went out for a drive. Still got a...

So today since I was off work I thought I'd make the very sensible decision and do some work on the 110... got a gas strut fitted on the rear door, refitted the chequer plate panel on the door and put one of those folding table things on it...

The heating in my 2.5 Petrol is actually alright to be fair! Although I know this is absolutely an exception and most will be cold... although you could always fit a diesel heater. I do concur on the turning circle though, I have to reverse my...

Did a thing.. converted to m57n2 in the end with a zf 8hp70x gearbox

No experience of either but the X Defend just looks quite weak to me... is that going to withstand more than a minute or two with a grinder? Probably not... it looks like you could just cut down one side of the hinge and then effectively only...

Sorry to hear you're having issues on ebay, absolutely not uncommon by the sound of it. These mouth breathers walk amongst us unfortunately!

If you can figure out a cheap way of calling, some of the brokers may be able to help providing you have a UK address to give them and give them the exact model of the vehicle and specific modifications. Some people seem to dislike them but I'd...

That definitely works in your favour! I'm 31, 9 years no claims and its only just getting to the point where insurance prices are coming right down :rolleyes:

Yeah as above the 90 should be easier and cheaper to insure, assuming it's not overly modified (within reason for a 40+ year old vehicle)... My 1988 110 costs just under £300 on a classic policy :D Half the price of my Audi!

Well I'm not quite sure exactly what the issue was but touch wood I've fixed it! Got her running again this afternoon after giving the float bowls another clean out, checking the float level and blowing out the needle valve. Then replacing the...

If its just something to work on together I wouldn't necessarily discount a 90, I mean at least they're a manageable size... or a later series for a restomod style build? I guess you don't really know what this child will want, they might even...

Fair point! I think ebay sold prices probably offer a better insight than ads, as they reflect what has actually sold... not what dreamers hope someone will pay! I mean in my opinion you should still be able to get a project requiring chassis...

Also on that Ad, can they get any more gauges in that thing? It's just missing an Altitude meter, ASI, virtual horizon and a yoke!

I think chancers and people who are convinced they're getting every penny they spent back make up a good proportion of sellers.... I mean people are entitled to ask whatever price they want, but of course if it's not realistic it will just...

I guess ultimately something is only worth as much as another will pay for it! I feel like its a typical case of sellers wanting top money for their cars but buyers wanting something for nothing. There are a lot of dreamers out there, but if...

Also on the perished hoses... I still have hard lines running down the chassis but I know some of the rubber hoses need replacing, to be fair maybe the tank does too as theres a good amount of debris caught in the filter. It could be a case of...

I was trying to avoid a rebuild as the carb itself has been on the Landy less than a year... I can see it has '21' in the casting so its not that old either. The one thing I haven't checked with the carb is the float level needle valve though...

So at this point I've had the jets out several times, cleaned the float bowls, put it back together. Then on testing it I found the idle cut-off solenoid seemed to be stuck out, so changed that for the one on the old carb that worked fine. I...

Right so last weekend after replacing my trailing arm bushes, I decided to go out for a drive... I pulled up to some traffic lights and could hear a missfire, which got a bit worse and then ultimately it just cut out. I managed to start the...

Hmmm, of course they did! Someone clearly having second thoughts, of they've told the wife and she said not a chance :D

I went for the cheap option, only about £300! I got one of those chinese made Static arc MIGs and bit the bullet and got a proper gas bottle to go with as I knew I needed to go gas really. But it totally paid for itself just for this one job so...

Oh no! Mine had a couple of small bits in the same places, seems like a common place to start rusting through. For me it went from investigating why there was a circular plate screwed onto the crossmember, to cutting some holes, buying a new...

What did you put it up for out of interest? I mean it is still generally hard times for people but there will be plenty out there with cash waiting for the right project. You can't really go too far wrong with something thats already been...

I'm not sure how many more new tools my shed can take :D Yeah I mean its fun up to a point, but it does get a little frustrating when I can't take her out for a drive when I feel like it. I'm trying to get more things sorted now as I want to...
