Just had one side welded up on mine for £60 by a mobile welder, as he came to my place i was able to remove the suspension parts that were in the way myself, which probably saved me a few quid.

here's my car with a pre facelift fog light fitted its the only pic i have showing the fog light. (only had time to fit one at the mo)

I made the mistake of buying pre facelift fog lights for my facelift bumper, thinking they were all the same, but there is a differance, they are bigger! and you have to cut larger than whats marked out on the back of the bumper skin. I think they still look good though and if anything probably give...

He could always take the bulb out

Have a look at the bulkhead seams, mine has been leaking from here and it took me ages to figure out where it was coming in. just look for anything with a rusty looking stain.

Hello bud, I've got to say this is a great site and you'll find very helpful likeminded people on here

Get some photos up when you can.

Cheers guys

as titled, got some new door pins today but the front hinge pins are awkward to get to, so anyone got a top tip. I changed the doors many yrs ago so I've had them out before but can't remember what I used to get them out.

Scrubbed clean and painted up ready for winter..........

Nice solid metal, did he repair behind the spring cup? also, looks like there is a crack a little further down the leg (edge of the cup). the metal behind the seat was still solid, it kind of looks worse in the picture, there was just a little surface rust there, the rest of the chassis leg is all ...

Just had a new rear spring seat fitted to the passenger side of my Cav today, sad day though as its the first bit of welding its ever needed in its life, but the guy who did it made a very nice job cost me £60 .

All I can say is that when I've had blower issues over the yrs its always been the resistor that's been the problem, scrap yards where I've got mine from, cost me a fiver! Sorry can't help more than that I'm afraid

High chance it'll be the big resistor thing that sits on top of the blower motor, all you can do is replace it and see if it works.

What are the torque settings for the bolts that hold the lower wishbones on and should i thread lock them, looks like they have been before from the factory, also need a setting for the front hub nut too if there is one.

Cheers Gaz

Does anyone have a link to where i can buy new rear spring seats, just noticed mine need to be welded up, sad times as it'll be the first bit of welding that needs to be done! not bad for an L reg though.

Been looking for a 'How to' regarding the fitting of front shocks, but cant find anything about fitting inserts, so are they easy tom fit or not?

Wow
