So sorry to see that. My condolences.

Heat shrink should do it!

Ummmm, yes, thanks, food for thought!

The vent flaps on my series 3 rattle at higher speeds, they are loose on the hinge pins. It's irritating, as it disturbs the serenity provided by the rubble of the tyres and the whine of the transfer box. Aside from shimming the pins with insulating tape or something, any other cures for this...

I'm in agreement with the over electronic thing. I do have a radio and a CB, that's plenty semi conductors for me. If you want semiconductors buy a modern defender. If you want reliable semi conductors buy a Japanese built Toyota.

Oh yes. Britpart cables. avoid. Charlie ECU on eBay is supposed to sell good ones, no experience, mines original.

Wow! Excellent conundrum. Logic (bits to look at): 1) worm that drives the cable, the big gear in the rear output casing on the transfer box. Are there too many shims and as the box warms the clamping force on the worm reduces causing it to slow down? 2) cable. Is it binding when it's...

And the link I provided? No good?

Theres a spacer with a cut out that shims the plate away from the tab. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304072428857

Just taken mine off, going for a week's touring off road, so needed to lose the hitch. I had a Dixon bate adjustable drop plate. This has a piece of angle section steel bolted under the cross member, which has two extra holes for the M16 bolts.

Try GDI Products on eBay, they've a lot of galv stuff, series spacers and drop plates.

I've seen them riveted in with a dab of RTV.

Buy a tap and tap them to the old screw thread. Avoid Britpart.

Apologies: I'm should have been more forgiving. And less judgemental. I have some good friends with coil sprung vehicles. I don't know their personal struggles, so shouldn't be so dismissive. I, too, would like to know what engine it is.

I bought from undercover covers. It's a superb product. Good heavy canvas, clearly heavily treated with decent wax. I need to soak it a few times, apparently, before it's fully ready.

10 hour job on a lot of vauxhall cars, at £60 per hour. Makes a lot of vehicles beyond economic repair. It's one of the reasons I keep my Landrover.

Doubt it. Mind you, hard to start a TDI with a starting handle.....

Truth. You can get a special snips that avoids this. Or put up it with the blood.

It's one of those modern plastic coil sprung things. A car of some sort. Probably got those fancy wind up windows and such like.
