  1. This is the one I've got my eye on but still saving!

    As recommended by other car peeps - sort of more durable slightly bigger brother to dremel - reads up well but as for 'in practice' no personal knowledge yet!

    Worth a looksee tho?

    I’vejust bought and fitted a set from Britpart and amazingly they fit the vent flaps perfectly and appear to be far better than the genuine items. 

    Good to know. I bought some gen ones a while back and my vents still don't close properly!  🙁

  3. Good pictures those DC_  -  especially the middle two!  :D

     

    Nice to see images all over the place - better than the Beebs Weather reports and Landys too!

     

    Strange but we normally get hit with snow but even though it is perishingly cold and blowing hard there only sand like snow billowing round and round and across roads in circles here at the moment.....  :unsure:

  4. No expert as I've only had experience of one but.....

    This is the one I got  Linky

    and from the place I got it in 2015.

    Took a 300tdi no probs. Only trouble I had was that my floor was a bit rough concrete and so it was a bit of pig to move easily as it would be on smooth. No complaints re quality though. The engine was on it for ages!  :o

  5. Just what I was going to say. Gen LR (VDO?) gauges never wonder far from vertical unless there is an overheat situation at which point it is almost too late!   :o  They show  rising warm up (or not - failed stats) warm up and "ok!!"  :mellow:  They don't lie - they're just economical with the truth!   :D

    You and I will have to fit a good after market gradated gauge to watch for the subtleties of temperature changes as the stat begins to open and close and engine characteristics when is working hard or not or the ambients are variable....  :)

  6. Update both as mine still has the original 1988 ones from when it had a 21/4 engine and whilst it all works could do with a little more assistace and less effort on my part....more of a modern car effort where you dont take heel off the floor!  :o

    So I am looking to check /overhaul the system and then replace pedal box and master cyl and servo with a 300 tdi one or mebee try the later abs version. My plan anyway  -  just need time  -  but as I say good quality standard brake components work very well.....;)
