A 2" body lift would show them off.😅

On our 2001, it's M10 1.25pitch, about 30mm long.

Thanks Elty, I have sent an email. Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk

Ohhh, that would be great Elty, I'll stick it in the garage and hope I don't need it. Lol. So please rescue it, and I'll have it off you. Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk

Good to see so many of you are still here. The part is too thin to tap, its only about 1mm, and cast. While you can poke around enough to get the nut and washer in there ( I super Glued the nut to the washer), and used an upside down 10mm ring spanner to hold it, which only just fitted, but way...

Good to see you Rick, that was what I was thinking, unless the engine is scrap, no-one will want to take it off a good engine. This one had a 3 x 5mm hole on the bottom between where the Turbo coolant feed comes out, & the flat that mates with the engine is. Looks like it had epoxy to fill it...

Hi you two, good to hear from you. I would be grateful, I am trying a fix with a bolt, washers and liquid gasket at the moment, but would prefer to replace it. Not doing too bad, had my shoulder op, which went well, the only downside is it now shows how bad the other one is... Doh. We have...

Is there anyone still on here? Did anyone survive Covid?:doh I used to be a member, but when it went all quiet, my membership came up for renewal, and I got rid of my T2, I didn't bother renewing.:augie We still have Suz's T2, which is hanging in there, with a wing and many a prayers, but over...

Neat. Love the ingenuity. That should make life a lot easier. When you disconnect the hydraulics, do you then have to bleed them, or does it sort it's self out just by being pumped round? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Cheers, how often does it need a full service? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

How much does it cost to run a pre-loved one of these? Not so much the fuel, but things like replacing tracks, seals, fluids etc. We are hoping to move to a place with a bit of land in the not too distant future, and I was already thinking something like that would be very useful. Buying one...

I have a 2011 3.0l JGC, and so far only towed my 1600kg caravan, but the car and roof box is also loaded with another 350kg of stuff( genny, fuel, drinking water, freezer, aircon unit, etc) plus ferrets, cages and 2 large adults, and it was returning 22mpg. On a solo 465 mile run to Wales and...

Good tip... Just do it at arms length, the spray goes everywhere. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Is it the fan noise? When you first start the car, you get the roar from the fan, does it sound the same? The squeak could be the fan belt. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I have only done it once, but on mine, the end of the outer cable had a sleeve that passes over the odd shaped bit which goes into the rear of the backplate. Lots of WD40, and a set of tap pliers, rotating the sleeve back and forwards to work the oil in, and get it loose, and it then just...
