Jeez, keep all ropes away from mark,, oh and matches thinking about it,,
On a serious note, glad your such a committed p38 person, otherwise I know it would be on its way to scrap yard,, enjoy your break, come back and sort your se, get some enjoyment out of that then attack the blue one.

So a bit more digging, there name was no fear off road, from reading on other forums, these guys should be shut down, right dodgy little shites,,
Seems they like changing there name after getting dragged through the small claims courts,, but most DEFINITELY one to avoid

There name is elr-01594834824, luckily I've refreshed the engine before installing in customers car, you don't mind if you know where you stand, but every call I think they lied, whenever I asked for a tracking number, reply was we're waiting for it,, errmm it's issued when you book to send...

Normally I just let things go, but this seller on flea bay has p*^%#+d me off,
I bought a engine , was to be with me within 7 days latest, a week goes by nothing, so I call them, told it's on its way, be with me Tuesday, so I'm waiting round Tuesday, nothing arrives, call them Wednesday morning, apologies and such crap, there was a problem, be with you Friday, surprise surprise it didn't arrive, now it seems they won't answer phone to me, eventually I get through and tear them a new arse on Monday afternoon, it will be with me 100% Wednesday morning,, luckily I didn't hold my breath, it didn't arrive, now I'm steam out my ears mad, and I let them know, excuse this time, oil contamination during transit,, they promised for the Friday first thing, with my postage costs back as compensation .. it arrived late Friday afternoon, 20 days after I purchased and paid. still waiting for my refund of postage, ( it won't happen ) then checked there feedback, seems even though there 4x4 breakers, which many give a great service, this lot are compulsive liars,, long and short is I wouldn't advise anyone to deal with these morons unless your in no hurry and like spending time on the phone

The brake hoses I'd waited so long for took 42 days to get from Manila International Airport to the Central Post Office, via PHLPost. A whole 11kms!

I've heard of snail mail, but that is just ridiculous

If the front hubs come off reasonably easy, then it could be the front ,, I did mine in around that time and I don't have a ramp ! that's a dilemma for sure.

So while Marty is fixing headlinings at Summer Camp, you'll be cleaning everyone's seats?

Nice try !
I was gonna suggest, but pretty much knew what the answer was gonna be 👀

I bought a leather repair kit for my old dse, never got round to using it, it's filed in that magic keep safe place, lol.. I'm impressed with the job you did mark,,

The shocks are just an unbolt/ bolt on job, same with the drop links, they have a spanner holding point to stop the UJ turning, making removal/installation easy, I would think 1-1.5 hours tops doing yourself

Not used them, I know the brembo ones are, but expensive , I'm sure someone will have fitted, looks like they could be britpart, which fronts are solid

Ouch ! I'm feeling sorry for ya,, most would of given up by now

Splitter tools ? A bloody big hammer should give enough of a shock to get them out, especially if the tops cracked already,, if you have a fork splitter, wedge it in the top, then give the carrier a slap where the Balljoints goes through , it will come undone, just needs to be persuaded
Also try and grab a 32oz ball pen hammer, easier to swing, more power directed where you want it

Your at the easy bit, if they go tight on removal, give the carrier a whack, pneumatic shock works well, I've had them fire out under so much pressure,, I know what Marty's saying re o/s, but the worst I've done was an o/s, took oxyacetylene and a lot of swearing lol,, hope all goes well for you

I used to go the bolt method until Marty said use an old disc, sounds like a little heat might be needed, or another set of hands with a big hammer and hit together opposite sides,

Wow, seems like your having fun, have you removed the splash guard to get access all around the disc, normally a quick wire brush and some wd40 is enough to get them moving

Have you got the disc off yet ? Hit it on the hub face and it will eventually release

Do you have an old disc ? Bolt it on backwards, gives you a bigger area to whack,, otherwise lots of wd40, or warm up around the joint of the carrier,

Oops, just seen that you have a disc,, it will come out , just needs some persuasion, my first one took 3 hrs, other side 40 minutes,, don't know what hammer your using, I use a 32oz ball pen, more direct when you give it a slap

Have you by any chance contacted the Linley group, they might be able to help if you speak to the right person, www.davidlinley.com , best to visit the site as you get numbers and email option to contact

Mine decided to lock up after the last engine rebuild, that's when I found there's a very small amount of play in the starter mounting, loosened the bolts, repositioned the starter, no problems since

Won't know till we got some dates together, only thing I need doing is lpg tune up, but I'm not to bothered, it works as is, switches over ok,, so not a major problem
