    Vin number stamp on chassis

    i dunno about Thor, some CKDs i believe were stamped to the rear of the chassis but all mine to date have been on the offside front, including the one i have that was built in Australia if it's a S1 i have no idea at all where thier chassis number is

    Vin number stamp on chassis

    if it's a 2, 2a or 3 it should be on the OFFSIDE dumbiron (left of the vehicle when looking at the front), the normal reason for it being missing is the dumbiron has rotted out and has been replaced when i replace dumbirons nowadays i give the numbered one back to the vehicle owner to minimise...

    Bonnet gas strut

    i tie S2 and S3 bonnets back to the windscreen all the time, a good bungee cord does it just fine

    Bonnet gas strut

    one of two ways i open bonnets that are mounted with a tyre (i'm only 5'2") keep the bumper clear of obstacles to stand on safely and lift the bonnet from there, better without the little curved infill panel or i just remove the spare when i need to open the bonnet, again by standing on the...

    Truck cab rear glass

    just get one cut at your local glaziers, both rear flat panels are the same size so at the worst you've got to strip the remaining one out and use that as a template

    Straight 6 rebuild

    i cut a plate of 8 or 10mm steel to closely fit in the rear of the crossmember as a spreader plate for my towbar when i fitted my britpart one, it's withstood all sorts of abuse since

    Another Leak!

    i'm not surprised at all at 60mph, i've got mates with bog standard 2.25p S2/2a's that will pull 60mph without much if any trouble, even a 2.25d in good condition will go that fast any that won't do 55mph have either got something wrong with them or a driver with a very light right foot a good...

    Things to look for with series 3 200tdi

    looks to be a quite well thought out conversion, Salisbury rear axle, disc conversion on the front axle at least and possibly on the rear, possibly a 90 servo and master cylinder, 200tdi engine (complete with turbo and intercooler) definitely, LT77 gearbox with LT230 transfer box, all sitting on...

    S3 200tdi - thank you

    S3 200tdi - thank you

    it'll be easiest to take a wire mop to the face between the stud holes and find the numbers, most have the width stamped on them along with a part number

    Clutch pedal solid

    due to the shape and weight distribution of the gearbox with transfer box attached you'll find it reasonably difficult to balance it on a jack far better to get a mate to come round and the pair of you maul it backwards even for swapping the clutch it does not need to be fully removed if you...

    Clutch pedal solid

    it's definitely worse, i'd say your clutch release bearing has siezed and spun on the plastic carrier and melted it, your slave piston has now gone to full extension and stopped once it's hit the circlip gearbox needs pulling backwards to replace it, no need to pull the seatbox out just the...

    S3 200tdi - thank you

    you could "give" ;) me the 7.50s that you don't like and buy yourself a nice shiney set of 235s to wear out :D i run 7.50s on both of mine as the price was right (plus my bitsa has the super aggressive General SAG crossplies on it :D ) i've worn out both 235s and 7.50s
