Finished swapping out the drivers door window regulator. Had a bolt left and couldn't for the life of me remember where it was from. I realised after I'd put the door card back on that it was the one that holds the motor bracket to the inner skin. D'oh! Also, my trusty Oracle friend got the...

Some people call this a bodge, but I think its a great creative modification solution. When i did mine some years ago I was so pleased with the result. It's still going strong many, many miles and quite a few years on.

how very dare you...;)

New bearings fitted to rear hubs, and rear hub and arm assemblies and driveshafts refitted.

Just a bit of an off the wall one for you here Andy, but over the last 11 years, my Jatco would exhibit similar symptoms, but they would be when VCU bearings had gone or the VCU was stiff. Three separate occasions over the years. Each time I was convinced it was duff oil or maybe a solenoid...

After a quick bit of stalking facebook searching, this is the vehicle;

Slightly off topic but related, saw this professional effort at a rear guard on a facebook group. Sadly the person who fitted it didn't answer questions about where they got it from or how they fabricated it.

Well today I have had opportunity to add a post to this thread following a few days of posts of jobs being done by a learned friend on my car. Assisted with the fitting of a poorly manufactured fuel tank cradle which needed considerable modification, and the fitting of a refurbed subframe and...

Yep. The hole on that rear face of the tube section was clear as day when I looked under the car and saw it, about a month or so after the MOT

That went through an MOT!

That'll be because it would appear I made a typo. It should be YZQ100110L My mistake. Well spotted Gerarld

ZZQ100110L

I will be feeding back to the suppliers for sure.

Might be worth getting it shot blasted and painted. You may make a bit on it. I paid £100 for a second hand FL1 one and it was blasted, zinc primed and sprayed for £80

I have to say, there is some stirling work going on on the FL1 @Nodge68. That subframe looks pretty solid for the most part! *edit* P.S. nice shiny new jack there!

They look good, and expensive!
