There are different pads and pins for 110, you need the others by the sounds of it. Along with calipers and discs. I had the same problem with my 90 which has 110 brakes on the back. Essentially one set of pads are thicker, the later ones I think but unfortunately I have forgotten 😕

I reckon that would clean up pretty well, looks pretty original. No idea about price, personally they all seem too expensive to me.

Welcome, never too late for a midlife crisis.

After reading this thread I'm not surprised.

With no number plate, no v5, no stamped chassis number and no chassis plate then I'm afraid it's only really a collection of parts. Some tdi and some series 2 and series 3.

You say that but we have had a few people come out with us before saying that the local club didn't follow the rules.

"Ideally looking for legal routes" What other sort of routes would you be looking for, illegal ones?

Luck of the draw I guess. The first bushes we fitted were Britpart poly bushes to the panard rod, failed in less than a week. Replaced with Britpart OEM and have been good since.

Yes, don't tell them anything except know mods which you need to declare. My son's was £2.5k for a Ninety with a 200tdi conversion, mind you that was 10 years ago. Still agree £11k seems rather high.

I have used Britpart oem with no problem. Since you have now learned a valuable lesson you would do well to replace your other aftermarket with oem. You can buy a kit for not a great deal of money.

If you fit polybushes then buy good ones, cheaper ones are crap. Not all bolts are the same, some are metric some are not.

That's a problem for sure. Do them up as tight as possible and see what happens. What bushes did you fit, random aftermarket, oem or genuine?

That worry had never crossed my mind, don't even know if that's an issue. I have never read anything about it elsewhere.

Think they have to be 'de-coded' before being removed before they can be re-coded again once fitted to the new vehicle. NB. It's possible that I am wrong though.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean with regards to the angle of the steering column. Are they not all the same and in a fixed position?

You are just going to have to start at the beginning and check redo everything from the radius arm to chassis bush forward. Mark each bolt with paint to show any future movement. This includes stripping down the swivels and resetting the shims, and everything else. Common concencus seems to be...

Yep, got to start somewhere, along as he is not the main driver. Also a possible downside is not earning any no claims bonus, maybe.

Lemforder are a good maker of parts, MeyleHD, then Delphi in my humble opinion.

You can do named drivers BUT if the youngster is the MAIN driver then he can't be a NAMED driver, if that makes sense. They got wise to that years ago.
