Have to agree with all of this. That massive under hanging trailing arm mount has been there from the start. Really odd.

Its just a spacer isnt it? presumably so the lifting eye sits flat across bits of the head that are not flat??

I didnt want to presume Ed. Try the Cabalie. Thats my favourite.

Go for it. Not my cup of tea, but I have a 110 and dont think it would suit as you say. Neil's 90 is grey and the panoramic glass looks smart on that.

I have two friends if i can include you Mo? Three with uncle! I am rich in friendship.

@V8 Freak has it on his 90 so might have some comments if you need more advice.

I perhaps should point out that 'my friend' (in the original post) is vulcan bomber. I didn't tell him about this thread before in an attempt to gather ideas for him. I have just messaged him... Now he has joined the thread, seems right to declare this as noone is trying to spam here.... VB can answer any questions though if the mods are happy to let the thread run.

I must have got one of the last ones from Magal/Adwest direct. Their prices were always the best - mine was sub £400 I think.

carp thats doubled plus a bit in price!

Looks a tidy job! (Is it just the photo or is that brake pipe quite flat on the U shaped bend?!)

same ^^^^^

Out of interest what are the other letter codes for that 7th digit of the VIN?

Ah thats good to know. I wont use that as an argument then!

So you have SW in the name on the v5. I think thats the difference to mine. Mine says 110 4C County D Turbo the fact its a County I think means it has to be a Station Wagon and the fact it says CSW on the sales receipt from new plus the M in the VIN proves this.

21/07/1989 from Dutton Forshaw in Aylesbury for £16005! 7th digit on my vin is also M

And to top it off, I have the original sales receipt for the vehicle from 1989 stating it is a CSW. Surely that should be enough for TFL?!?!

Just looked at my V5 - it says County but not station wagon anywhere. The county pack could only be added to station wagons couldn't it? it is registered as an estate though! Whats the VIN code for a station wagon? I seem to remember one or a set of the letters indicated an SW?

With seatbelts though and bench seats dont count so even a 12 seater would only have 6 seats according to their classification?

Read to the bottom - https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/low-emission-zone/vans-minibuses-and-specialist-diesel-vehicles I am pretty sure we should still be exempt. Whats your seating setup Barry? My benches are no longer in the car and the seats are not original (RRC in the front and freelander rear row) - I wonder if they are going to be silly about that! I have all of the original seats though....

Exactly the same for me a CSW registered as an Estate. Was exempt, now not. When I am at work, I live just a few miles north of the LEZ, I often needed to drive into it. I also have relatives that live within it.

This is quite a big deal for me. I am not sure what to do about it. No announcement has been made about changing existing exemptions and it hasn't reared its head (until this post) due to lockdown.

Thats really bad. Mine was exempt too. Just checked though and now it is not LEZ exempt!

I had a Borg and Beck clutch from a reputable source. The metal centre of the clutch friction plate gradually fell apart until the clutch failed - it was low mileage and not hard worked. Valeo for me from now on.....

First set of bushes on mine did about 20 years so the second set have a few years to go. I only used genuine though.

Haha. Dave beat me to it!
