Pinkies crossed, it being your new un and all.

I've noticed that starting to happen a bit lately.

This thread is a great idea, but makes me feel melancholy.

I've just had a look at RAVE and I can't see a mention of needing to replace the bolts. They're reasonably tight though at 190Nm. I'll have a squint at Haynes when I'm next at home.

I shall drop you a pm Sir!

Just priced up all the bits I'm about to buy. Eek Part Qty Total Subframe bolt M14 x 106 4 £38.08 Rear arms long bolt 2 £19.10 Rear arms long bolt nut 2 £0.96 Rear arm front bolt M12 x 75 2 £2.84 Rear arm front nut 2 £0.96 Rear arm rear bolt M12 x 73 2 £2.84 Rear arm rear nut 2...

They are thinning out quite a bit. I'm about to embark on a bit of a resto on mine with some help to hopefully keep it going a fair bit longer

I can tell you that GKN shafts are good quality, but the boots might let you down.

I shall be monitoring progress on this... ;)

John, this is reminding me of Monty Python, apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? :p

The question now is what will @Nodge68's new profile pic be?

Looks REALLY dodgy to me

It's looking nice Dan

Looking great. I love the three amigos symbols on the spare wheel cover. What is the head unit you've fitted? Is it any good?

I was impressed with it to be honest. The car seemed to me to perform very well.

I think we need some pictures...

2 seconds suggests to me there is little or no fluid in it, or some random stuff like hydraulic oil or something. BTW, I don't think it matters if the car is in gear or not for the test if the other three wheels are on the ground, but it obviously should be from a safety perspective.

I'm sure I've read posts/threads on here about how to do it without removing the bumper. Try a search.

Just wondering Andy, what grease did you use on the bearings? I'll be putting a recon VCU and new bearings on mine later this month. Having had numerous bearings go over the years I want to try and give them some more longevity! Do the seals pop out - and more importantly - go back in easily?

Is it noticably noisier than the original? I replaced mine with one of these "new" Pieberg ones a year or two ago. It's still working but the noise does not fill me with confidence that it'll be long lived!
