looking on ebay and found a pair of springs of a series 2a which are softer on the ride than my series 3 109 but not sure if they will fit.....they are 42.5 inches between the eyes if that will help

the finest pads i use at work are 3000 or 4000 grade....steel wool is a no no , i also use scotchbrite so its a case of suck and see really

MY LANDY IS A PASTEL COLOUR BUT GLOSS .THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL ACHIEVE A SATIN FINISH IS TO PUT SOME MATTING AGENT IN THE COLOUR YOU ARE USING....TO ME THIS IS EASY AS I PAINT CARS FOR A LIVING. IF YOU ARE USING CELLULOSE YOU COULD TRY USING A VERY FAST THINNER AS THIS CAN ACHIEVE A MATT FINISH BUT PERSONALLY I WOULD SPRAY IT GLOSS THEN CAREFULLY FLAT DOWN USING VERY FINE WET AND DRY. IF YOU NEED MORE ADVICE OR 2000 GRADE PAPER THEN GET IN TOUCH I WILL SEND SOME TO YOU

using deestones x tracs at minute and no problems at all just the normal tyre noise....these are great if i take it off road which is once a flood et so looking for a nice road tyre to put on a spare set of wheels etc.....what are the best....avon rangemasters or anything else please __________________

cheers mate......did you saw it when i first got it off narrowboat

my 109 was made in 1984and regestered in 1997 as an import lol....its an ex military one

its an ex army series inported back into the uk in 1997 and what you see is the remains of the camo paint after the previous owner paint strippered it then used a sanding discs on a drill....he really did ruin it as i had to strip completely back to bare metal then build it all back up....drives ok but very bumpy unless on smooth roads..not sure on the mpg yet but i reckon mid 20s to 30.....i can keep 60 up on motorways no problem.......next job is to kit out the back with carpets and bench seats but need to put new tub seals on to stop draughts

sorry for the little picture but i tried and tried to host pics on here and its alot different to other forums i go on and i picked the wrong pic doh....its very tidy now and not one oil leak either. even manage 60mpfh on the motorway too

so simple but effective,,,,cheers mate

need to secure the windows better than the original slide up swtch.....any ideas

yes its a petrol version and i am not sure how bad the screw broke as my mate did it when i was doing other jobs etc...mot now due till may next year so plenty of time yet...the brakes needs adjusting and the master cylinder leaks abit but no loss of braking as such but thats being done tomorrow as well as an engine service.hopefully she be better when i get her back

one of mine has snapped too as we opened them up abit too...then i put on new tyres of the same make doh. she will go faster but i didnt see the point in pushing it lol. my mechanical friend will service her and adjust the brakes too. even the zenith carb seems to work ok even if the tickover seems a tad high,
