Got the beast through mot.

Yes it does do a kind of judder/squeek sometimes when i let go of the accelerator. Also vibrates a bit under heavy acceleration. Tge garage tokd me prop shaft is probably why.

See what you mean mate. Ive only kept cars for a year then scrapped em in the 11yrs since i passed. This is the first car i wanna keep . Brought it on a whim having not known anything or even driven a landy before lol. But love it now so trying to bring this beast up to best standard i can.

He Just said exessive play in rear prop. Not got the beast back yet. Or seen fail sheet. It failed yesterday and he is doing quoted works to get it through mot before friday. But im gonna sort out prop next week what evers wrong with it. He said because speedo dont light up it was a fail. But...

Hi just an update. Decided against the 10 hour welding, 60per hour + vat and + price of outrigger. Plus whatever else needed doing for mot. Went for an indy garage. They took it for mot. Failed on obvious outrigger welding. Bush on one of the arms, headlight allignment ( i replaced sealed...

I suppose if i was to get it through mot to sell it... i would patch it. But the beast has grown on me

Yes have been told that.. will be next job after mot sorted out

There is the hole underneath. But since this photo was taken. Pushed fingers through the front of it and it fell out. But he said back and top is fine and he can weld the front and bottom with plate.

Ok so have had the local indy have a look.. If i supply the outrigger they can weld it on for 250. Or they said it can indeed be plated for 150. Liked the sound of the specialist but.. 600+ is a bit too much me thinks as others have stated.

Lol. Think i may get a quote from my indy garage also. Specialist said about lifting the bulkhead etc to get to it which takes time.

Hi guys. Just been told bulkhead outrigger cant be patched for mot. Been told it would take ten hours roughly. At £60 per hour does this sound a fair price? Cheers in advance.

Just an update. Had a specialist look at the outrigger and he poked fingers right through the side of it. So needs a new one welded on... he has it would take roughly ten hours at 60per hour. Does this sound a fair price? Cheers

Cheers guys. Thats put my mind at rest. Was thinking the worst

Hi guys. Me again. Mot due doon so been poking about under me 90 for rust and found this which i think after research is an outrigger. Rest of chassis seems sound apart from the big hole and dodgy repair in this place... Question is is it a replace whole chassis job... or can it be repaired...

Sorry forgot to update. Got a new motor swapped it over. Changed plastic thing on cog from left hand drive to right. Suprisingly it all worked first time with no dramas. Strangely the old wiper motor was not the same shape as the new so i suspect it had wrong one in there. Also a bonus. i...

Just an update. Took the bottom of wiper motor off. Was heavily corroded inside. Tried to get the loose buts out. Lubed the little bearing thing and replaced. Madevan awfull noise when tyrned on and blew the fuse. Im guessing from the corrosion i may as well buy a new motor.? On plus side i...

Cheers for info. How will t tell if it is them? Dan

Thanks for the detailed reply. Will do just that. What type of grease should i use? Cheers Dan

Hi guys was looking for some advice on my wipers. When its raining i turn them on nothing happens.. unless i get out and give the passenger side a nudge and then they start working. When the rain stops so do the wipers. So if rain starts i have to do the same again. Any advice would be...
