See I like the way that the 16" wheels look especially with slightly oversize tyres. It just gives the whole vehicle even more of an "I'm just going to drive right the fuck over that" stance than it has already.
Bad battery cables all day long.
Just as a matter of interest, what's the engine in your donor car and what are you planning on doing with the engine bay iring loom? ;-)
My exhaust split just where the big long bendy pipe that goes across the axle goes into the back box, so I replaced the back box (which appears to just be a huge glasspack) with a chunk of 63mm stainless tube. The noise difference is only really noticeable under bridges with the window down.
One for Mr Hallworth I think ;-)

Looks like the photobucket images have been plunked, annoyingly. It's going to need a bit of work but it's tidy enough, straight enough and goes nicely.
I've done it before, although I had to be pretty brutal with the "scrap" parts.
The lamp assembly ought to pretty much just pop off its balljoints, with a little persuasion.
Yup, it's still a bug with deleting posts but at least it doesn't make it throw 500 errors.
Can I ask that if you zap a thread, you message me the details so I can try and track down what's going on?
I'm sure there's enough folk that would want to go that we could chip in for PLI.
We should make a Range Rover pub, fit a row of hand pumps along the tailgate lip ;-)
Sounds like a plan! Bloody long way south for some of us though...
Now if someone would just work up a nice little logo for the site, we could get window stickers or flags made up.
Could be a split diaphragm valve in the block. Unscrew the silencer and see if air is coming out there.
The blue one is a bit too good to break, damage repair notwithstanding. I've not driven it but having driven the red one I'd say there's not a hell of a lot wrong with its engine, it's ridiculously quick ;-)
I pulled one of those big Renault Trafic pickups out of a deep snowdrift at the end of my road earlier. Daft bugger had no weight over the back axle...
Yeah, they were out when I came down to yours on Sunday. I ended up sticking 20 quid in at rob-you-blind Shell. Morrisons all seem okay.
It'd be interesting to take a look if you get the chance. I've had a bit of success replacing the output trannies in Citroen XM suspension modules which fail in a similar way.
It'd be interesting to get the old ECU on the bench and see if there's anything obviously wrong with it. How are the solenoids driven, "hit and hold" like the air suspension ECUs, so it gets a whack for a couple of milliseconds and then PWMed to reduce the holding current?
If the spare engine is good I'd just give it a quick going-over and stuff it in ;-)
Hi! That looks very tidy :-) A few folk on here have fitted top-hatted blocks and I'm sure they'll be able to help.
I connected the identical plugs into the wrong receivers.
It's a stupid bit of design, that.
