rules for corrosion are not quite as simple as we would like ,,, I can`t quite see where it is but. If its just near a body mount and there is no other corrosion around other body mounts then it would be an advise BUT if its within 12" of a seat belt mounting bolt ,or brakes/steering if in the front, then it is a fail. Cracks also count as fail. Because landys have separate chassis then body only really counts for seat belt mounting prescribed areas at rear.
All info available to testers is at motinfo.gov.uk and look at class 4 inspection manual

where on earth can you get those rev counters ? Ive been searching for a while ???

Battery is going on an anderson plug , 200 tdi so no storage other side. When I bought the landy it came with a capri recaro bucket on the drivers side and a ripped landy seat on the passenger side so I needed a new set.

Bought a set of subaru sti5 seats so that`s the end of that problem , free set of rover 420 full leather seats available in s wales , not going to fit em now

I`m running 265/75/16 bf goodrich at2s, and have a set of insa turbos for playing. I think they are a bit extreme for day to day use

I just done mine as part of rebuild ,,,, use a good drill with ,i think , 6mm drill bit to remove old rivets , (same size as hole ??) and I hope you have lazy tongs riveter as there are quite a few !!!!

I liked ross`s scooby seats as well. I`ve got a phone number for an interior in south wales but noticed the mgf seats on evil bay and liked the look of them. I just looked at an mgf in a friends car sales and they look a good fit.
-
I fitted on of these engines into a 3 dr frontera a few years ago. Only problem was the alternator wiring, I think it had a charge relay . I disconnected all the egr and engine quick warm up and only used the stop solenoid on the pump.
-
would a pair of half leather mgf seats fit in my 90 and actually be ok to use. Has anyone tried using these in a 90 ???
Help needed before I buy a pair please

to mot a vehicle we obviously look at the vin plate to write down or compare the chassis number to the old mot. If the vin plate isn`t present I have , when visible, looked on the chassis for the number.
-
I`m an mot tester and have we have still not had any special notices about imminent changes. As per erlier thread just check dgw on logbook and make sure it is clean for the tester !!!!!

thank you western , its the black and red that I also needed to know ,

to remove an AFTERMARKET alarm/immobiliser just look at how it is wired ,,, any wires that attatch onto existing wires are normally feeds to or from the unit . such as live,ign live, earth, indicator o/p, central locking o/p, siren out etc. The wires interrupted and then put through the alarm are the immobiliser circuits, usually two and you can trace the cut and the join to remove the unit. This is basically common sense and straight forward. Every cable might be black going to the unit ,but it will originate at either a live , earth or a colour of wire that you can look up.
I used to fit them , both cat 1 and cat2 units and have removed hundreds for the motor trade. I wouldn`t usually advise leaving them in place when they are no longer used as an interruption of power can cause them to go active and start working, even if it appears faulty or not working

I think he wants to know which order on the tank , actually so do I ,, I haven`t fitted my new rear harness but will need to know this to do so. I also forgot to check
-
the only constraint for mot purposes is " does the car`s exhaust sound any louder than a standard exhaust of similar age and use ?? if a littlethen advise. If alot louder then fail the car.

Basically the earth has to be the best possible connection you can get. It has to pass the starter current from the battery to the engine. This is quite considerable on a tdi. i`ve measured peaks of over 300As on my meter. So you are thinking strong physical connection with clean metallic contact between earth cable and gearbox
-
I have no doubt that the suppliers are entirely reputable, but considering the 1000's of blank V5's stolen from DVLA we don't have to worry about buying a ringer then?
jeez is that true ????
-
seconded ,,, I never knew that about the bolt numbers ,,,, cheers
-
Ok had a look at your link - interesting, however I'm trying to apply it to this scenario.
Would be a great help if you could tell me what is the small brown wire?
its connected before the voltage regulator that ensures that the alternator never goes above 14.4v or so. it is connected the output from the 3 phase rectifier pack which changes the ac output of the alternator into a varying dc output ,,, does this help
-
Run it at the correct tension , with the correct amount of proper anti frezze and with a fan on it that is in balance and you are half ways home.
These are the usual probs we get with premature failure of water pumps fitted by others
