  1. as tacr2man says,tdi unless the 300 auto type are impossible to immobilise,i am not about to say how are easey they are to bypass on here but...............
  2. i would suggest you find a different insurer as you cannnot effectively immobilise a 300tdi engine.
  3. i queery use in speed events,never fitted twin dampers to either gravel or tarmac rally cars,and they go a weeee bit faster and on equally damaging terrain,i am not critising gwynne lewis here,there must be a percieved market or he wouldn,t have developed the kit,i second the single quality remote resevoir shock.
  4. does that mean you want me to build another rear body grant?
  5. 4mm plate can be successfully welded with an arc welder,2.5mm rod at around 60 amps,having the right rod is important too.one of the test pieces i did at colege was a single v butt weld on six mm plate,that was a root with a cap on top.
  6. i chap called bruce who works for mansfield 4x4 in manningtree fitted coils and disk axles to his 101fc,different yes but similar enough.
  7. not sure about grimsby,but i had to go see my folks in s****horpe the other weekend,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oh how it has changed since i was a lad,i know where i live now is in sleepy suffolk but s****horpe really is a s**t hole now.
  8. pa blanchard who are now selling via ebay as well as direct have new wolf type door tops for £99.99 which having spent a month looking for second hand ones,is a pretty good price,needless to say i have bought a pair.
  9. ralph,been with our local agent since 95 too,spoke to them last month when i added my son to the policy,was warned to expect up to a 30% rise in premium for no changes to the policy.
  10. glad to hear you are busy david,having dealt with you i would not hesitate to recomend you.
  11. well done,especially where you did it,the big bottle of co2 will definately be cheaper,just make sure it is co2 and not sure gas,another tip is you can get co2 bottles refilled at fire extinguisher company,s.
  12. i recon the bloke is selling up to fund private treatment fot ocd.that is just plain bonkers,as said earlier,2 of everything yes,but did you see how many adjustables were in the photo?
  13. i have used interparcel and parcel2go.com numerous times,in reality they are both only brokers.
  14. i have one fro a pto winch equipped 300tdi if you are interested.
  15. bought a 4.6 rear axle from breaker for £75,all taclked up and level square,seriosly thinking of using tig to limit any distortion.
  16. wasn,t going to mention this yet,but i am in the process of cutting the mounting ring out of the p38 axle and welding it back in to the discovery axle,cut them out with a plasma,got it tacked in all looks good,obviously will need a longer prop though.
  17. if any good i am at college in colchester tonight and can bring one,07830 907890,chris.
  18. two lt230 transfer boxes for 99p,the listing was terrible,the seller was not amused,one of them had a broken lug,but i thought it best not to mention it
  19. just been down this route myself,i ended up buying an mta 201,which isn,t inverter based but old fashioned transformer type,why you ask,well they are built in york by technical arc,mine is 200 amp ac/dc,so will do all we require of it,the reason i didn,t go inverter is long term ownership,4 years down the line there are no circuit boards to go wrong,just a transformer and diodes/thyristors,they even include a circuit diagram in the manual,down side,it is huge and weighs 70 kg so not exactly portable.i have an oxford 200 amp mig made by the same people and i,me well pleased with that.
  20. i too would recomend speaking to gary at migtigarc,very helpful and knowledgeable.
  21. i have known and dealt with the owner of britcar for the best part of 20 years,he is heartened to know the effort he and his employees put in is appreciated,as has been said he is not the cheapest and maybe not the fastest but he is efficient.
  22. i have used padocks for many years,when i had an issue with poor parts it was delt with efficiently,britcar,01206391350 are also very good for mail order,if you tell them no britpart they will make sure you get what you want.
  23. this is for a 1985/6 model,does not need to be an exact replica,just the profile and needs the anchor plates for the tow bracket underneath ,preferably with about 6" of rail to slip over the existing chassis rail,
  24. i need to replace the rear crossmember on a 90,it has to be a pukka crossmember as opposed to one made from box section,having heard of questionable fit ones of late,would brand is recomended?
