  1. so I finally got around to getting some 0.6mm sheet and today I have removed the wings ready for discing out to solid metal and shining up for welding. my question is should I overlap weld with the new metal in the wheel arch or in the engine bay, presume welding upside down is not easy?
  2. just take it to the machine engineering shop on cheney manor - the one with a home made model t frame on wheels next to it, its on the left as you go towards the tip just before sheer value motors.
  3. dont expect too much, I have +2 terrafirma spings on my D1 200tdi its never going to corner like a car or a £60K truck
  4. wait till your heater blower fails - that's a centre console/dash board out/refill with coolant job. I ended up with about 20 screws/bolts left over - but nothing is rattling!
  5. ditch them, all they do is collect and retain wet mud - which is why we have to weld our inner arches back on!
  6. when I got my 200tdi earlier this year the nearside rain gutter trim cover was wrecked with the alloy insides showing! most unsightly, I have finally got around to addressing it and guess what, it only cost £8.00 new from Th whites and they had it in stock! this is what it looked before after photo yet to be taken! Bagain!!
  7. this happended to me last night bottom of Sugar Hill, got stuck and had to use diff lock to get out - so I wasn't stuck really
  8. John, have you got a battery yet? I picked up 2 used ones from Ridgeway 4x4 yesterday, in the process of charging them up but so far so good. Each one cost £10 happy to pop round one night and fit it for you, after I have got my new alternator on.
