  1. @Paul C yeah Coke used to do a job but since they changed the formula it's not as effective as it once was, used to be the case if you put a tooth in a glass of coke it would dissolve in 24hrs!?! Another cleaning household trick used to be HP Sauce, smother the metal for a day then clean up like new!?! Good ol' days when we had proper food stuff! 😂
  2. @JeffR Yep that about figures with BMW Drivers 🤣 Any other car makes worth looking at??? Cheers Andy
  3. #ThreePointFive Opinions May Vary!?! If I'm going to use my horn, the situation has already escalated! And if some muppet takes offence because a loud sharp tone has highlighted his/her/they error then so beit!!!.... I would rather PI55 somebody off to avoid an accident and get home ALIVE!!! So Back to the original question???
  4. @Anderzander 🤣🤣 You gonna sell it??? 🤣🤣 That's at least 2 Decibels louder than mine!?!... 40 years of parts storage That's impressive! And NOT even a Land Rover part at that!?! 🤣🤣
  5. Think you will find that part is also metal guys albiet cast metal??? Soak it in Diesel or buy cheap door handle off the Bay and Rob the new part off that!?!
  6. I'm after replacing the horn for something louder than a mouses f4rt!?! I'm after something that is more URGENT sounding and not the twin trumpet type!?! Heard BMW Horns were supposed to be loud and abrupt!?! Are they an easy install or does anybody recommend anything else??? Cheers Andy
  7. Personally I wouldn't bother with the carpet element in the bottom especially as you're using it for work. Chances are it will get wet, smell and rot!?! Me I use 10-12mm horse stable rubber mat (the one with bobbles on one side and channels on the other). Cut to size you need and have the channel side face down with channels running front to back (helps with drainage). It's easy to clean in the motor and just as easy to drag out. Just a word of warning though, the new mat has quite a strong smell that has put some people off using it, but hey it'll last forever and does sound deadening at the same time. As for the rest, I have no idea sorry.
  8. Right have now got fingers FULL of splinters from scratching my head!?!... I remember changing my locks a few years ago and remember sadly they DON'T sell that part as a separate item!?!......You HAVE to buy the whole F***ing outer door handle!?! As it comes as a unit. Sorry
  9. @ Lockylockwood iirc I think there is a very small pin hole and you need to stick a pin in it and push down a spring loaded pin and pull back on the cover at the same time!?! But I have been known to be WRONG!.....The wife tells me often!!! Oops just seen where you said you have drilled it out!.....Not good as it won't locate on the new barrel I fear!?!
  10. Well if the WIFE won't go in it again, the plus side is at least the WHINING Noise has STOPPED!?! 🤣
  11. @fmmv yes I've seen the Mike's videos, always find them informative! Just noticed from Turners Web image of LUF100430 Seal that there's x2 extra holes at the bottom of the casing!?! As there are NO bolts for these on the 300Tdi.... is it as well to fill these with Sikaflex or Gasket Sealant or something???
  12. @reb78 yeah the rear seal's been leaking for some time now, so thought I'd make the most of it if whilst the clutch is being done. As for the rear seal, just read on another thread someone advising to use the one from TURNER ENGINEERING....Which looks and sounds like a quality item for similar money to genuine!?! Andy
  13. @Snagger not seen any mention of Borg & Beck in my search and as for LOF!?! The price kills that idea! If Valeo lasts half as long as the original, it will see me out!?!....The HD Fork kit contains what is shown in the photo, I guess the Brass Ring is the Spigot Bush you mentioned? While it's all coming out I have a leaking CRANK SEAL that might as well be done, any advice or tips on which bits to get or not get???..... Going with Corteco Seals as always but what about the rear seal LUF100430 DOES this need to be a GENUINE part or will the Britpart OE suffice??? Any other bits for this task???
  14. Ok guys thanks for the input!... Will have a look at the LOF unit and see what that comes in at??? @Sigi_H any recommendations for HD Fork kits then as Paddock only does Britpart??? Andy
  15. OK quick update, just spoke to a Very helpful guy at Paddock Spares by the name of Ben.... He informs me they do a VALEO HD Kit comprising of Friction Plate, Pressure Cover and Release Bearing....Part No. DA5551G Then a Heavy Duty Fork kit....Part No. FTC2957HD kit Does all this sound about right???
