Keep the roof! I have an 85 and a lot of the original bits are still there, well, a few!

If it has a ribbed roof, keep it, the flat roofs really dont suit an older 90, those old ribbed roofs look the part if you ask me, I would buy an original parts catalogue for your vehicle, if you want to do work on it you will need one, I would also look to see if the seals were superceded to a...

I bought this stuff, it makes the dash all shiny, I mean its like I painted it with gloss paint, seats too, they squeak when I sit on them, well impressed, I will try it on the body work tomorrow!

How old is your vehicle? All this nonsense I read regarding ''oh, that will last a life time'' , yeah, but will the rest of your vehicle? If the old ones lasted this long, new ones will last around the same time, or, you could have them crafted out of a single piece of gun metal then fitted with...

Anymore details on the spreader plates? I have found some seats and will be making the plates tomorrow or Friday.

No the clocks, you know the shelf bit? I want to fit some low wattage leds in there that come on with the side lamps so I can easily grab things from there at night, I had one of these in the shed and I fitted it but its just way too bright. Any ideas? WOW - 1X 4X 6 LED 12V 10cm Flexible 5050...

7.50's height wise, you dont want to go much taller on standard suspension, cost wise you have to factor in 5 wheels which wont be cheap, second hane you might get a set with tyres on but that will limit your choice of tyres. XZL's also come in a metric size. Then you have more road noise with...

It depends on what you want to do with the vehicle, 7.50's are tall, I prefer them to wide tyres as they cut through mud better to find better grip, XZL's would fit the wheels you have at the moment, they are quite tall but not silly wide and they are the hardest and most durable tyre I have...

I would inform them, of course, thats not what I meant, they wouldnt have an issue with the seats themselves. I fitted a middle seat and they didnt even ask me where in the vehicle it was even though it went from 2 seats to 3, it didnt even bump the cost up at all. All my modifications, no...

Did you guys measure the pre load on the input gear?

Those Rostyle wheels are way nicer than steels, and very original

I've got seats with integral belts that fold down very flat, just wondering how the mot might see it, insurance wouldn't be an issue if it isn't raised as one during an MOT.

Anyone fitted a disco tranny box on a 19J? Will it be too much for one? Im sick of screaming along at 50!

Working on the load bay interior today getting ready for the new seats to go in. New carpet, got a big mat to go in, speakers and amp, a few other bits and bobs to do.

So guys, forward facing seats in the back, no room to enter or exit unless you clamber over them when they are folded, is that an MOT issue? Its a rag top so you couldnt get out through the back anyway?

The hinges are integral, Im getting some tinted perspex cut and rounded on the corners with some generic visor hinges, much better I reckon than the landy ones that seem to stop working for no apparent reason.

Armstrong dampers are OEM, if they were good enough at the factory dont see why they wont be when it comes to replace them.

That time is coming, they say to remove the intermediate gears and replace the crush spacer, is this totally necessary to get the correct preload on the bearing shims?

Here is what I would do, all the exhaust valves have been screwed up somehow, remove them, reseat/replace them, check the rods, replace if necessary, bang it back together taking much care to adjust the valve clearence properly then look for the fueling issue that caused this. Get some new...

Bit late for the party guys, a faulty 19J lift pump can dump fuel into the oil, In my experience it wont be the head, because even if the head were cracked the fuel would still go into the cylinder, and the symptoms , all be it quite vague, suggest a fueling issue. 30 odd quid for a lift pump...
