Good advice, not many garages want to work on older vehicles as well, they know the moment they start cutting and chasing the rust to find something to weld too, the cost is going to increase. Then you end up with a customer who’s not happy and a garage who could very well be out of pocket and a...

cannot find my digital copy of the workshop manual, but eBay will help you find one, hope the electrical one helps anyway.

It was on mine, and it was radio out , and as much of the surrounding plastics, heater ducts etc , to get to the bulk head. It’s a faff, but worth it, I found out about this issue on this site and the solution, afternoon well spent.

That’s the book you need to. It’s the bible

90 per cent of the earth points on D1 are behind the radio on the bulk head , big spider of earth connections, corroded of loose. Sorted mine, and perfect now. That’s a start.

Morning Billy, when you say any welder do you mean anyone who can weld or the actual machine? Personal preference is a gas mig, and f you mean any welder as in person, it will deffo have to be someone who knows how to fabricate, I bought mine and had all the inner and outer sills done, bulk...

May I ask, what are the symptoms?? My d1 is a jap import and a auto, gearbox feels sluggish at the minute, is this how yours started

Good evening , I need to replace 5 tyres, 16” current ones are 245/70/16 AT , I’m looking at the Kenda KR601 , £100 a corner, anyone used these or can recommend another brand? Will be doing a few miles next year going to Morocco and back in it, so ideally something ok on the motorway too as...

Yeah, it’s not cheap if you want it doing once and right the first time. All the fun of owning an older vehicle 🤣

If you’re mechanically minded , can weld and have a decent tool set, I’d say go for it, but if you can’t weld to a decent standard that will last and pass and MOT , I would still find someone , you don’t want to weld it up and then 6 months down the line , need doing again.. welding is...

Hmmmm, I’ve had it since June , we have had many enjoyable days out on the official green lanes using glass and TW2 lanes, i don’t plan of driving it like a total bell, or planning on going off on stuff you shouldn’t, like to think the previous owner didn’t..

Question, how would the new owner of the the car know if it had a S59 against it?? I’d like to think there would be a way of finding that out?? HPI check wouldn’t bring that up would it??

Just had mine back from mot welding, what started as a small ish hole on the sills ended up being 2 full sills , rear arches , chassis patches inner wing patches.. , sometimes end up having to cut more out to find something to weld to which takes time and more money as well as all the trim etc...

Mine was a D1, I specifically wanted a 300tdi

Extremely true, took me 2 months of going up and down the north west and lakes looking before I found mine, some good stuff out there and some absolute nails that have had a hard life. Mine was reasonable condition for something 20 odd years old, had a lot of welding already done, and the 300tdi...

True, you do become quite handy doing bits on them, did both front wheel bearings , hub seals, prop, all on the drive with axel stands, big stuff’s easier to work on as well, they’re pretty easy to work on, and like you say, plenty of knowledge on this site too.

That looks clean…

My bad, that’s the one I bought for mine which is a D1, apologies, D2 is on there tho.. genuine mistake

EBay , 35 quid in printed form, better than usb in my opinion, can flick between the pages instead of faffing on a computer
