My 90 is listed as a special vehicle with the badges and seat box plate. The only info I could find is it came with a cool box, how exciting!

You need to match calipers ,discs and pads. There is a thin set of pads and a fatter set of pads. If 110 rear brakes have been fitted as an 'upgrade'. I imagine pictures of pads etc might help

Yes you can get square ones with a tube/pipe in the corner, shove it in the hole in the swivel housing and squeeze it in, simples!

I have mentioned it as a possible a couple of times now. The 'siren' is behind the passenger head light.

If its a faulty electric item then it may be wise to find out what it is. Have you checked the bbus behind the passenger headlight.

I must be doing it wrong as I have never had a problem.

Mine shouldn't be worn as it was a recon box the previous owner had fitted. Then it all depends on well the recon was done I guess..

I have never really tried it to be honest. The gearbox isn't happy if I try to change quickly into 2nd when it's cold, you need to make a steady gear change. If that makes sense . I use atf oil in the gearbox.

I set off in 1st gear and straight away I change into 2nd gear. I don't know what speed it is, barely much faster than walking speed. Basically I have found 1st gear is only for setting off after coming to a stand still

Almost straight away.

You could try some satin black paint, key it up with a scotchbrite pad first.

You can buy textured paint in a spray can to replicate plastic parts. You could try heating them up gently with a heat gun. Or a good quality plastic reviving gel.

That's a good idea, then sent it back, get your money back and buy something useful.

You're welcome and the name of the unnamed shop was?

Britpart 200tdi radiator will fit and has been fine on ours. You will need to reuse the original adapters where the oil cooler pipes attach to the rad, most likely.

That is actually a good idea, even better if we had some wheel nuts for steel wheels. Besides sod's law dictates 5 miles down the road we would get a puncture on the way to collect them.

Why do you have HD springs anyway unless you carry a lot of extra weight. Son has Britpart stock rated springs, cellular dynamic shocks on the back and TF shocks on the front which are still fine over 10 years later.

The downside is that you are going to have to build one now.

Faulty BBUS?
