Aww thanks. Think it has the big round bit and seem to remember it was Bosch (about 6 years ago the local garage had a delivery of something that wasn't diesel...... possibly some sort of bio fuel or something and seemed that Bosch pumps were ok.. mine seemed ok after a clean out, but a number...

My poor old bus has a leaking fuel pump :-( First question is how to figure which one I have (2.7 TD SE 1995) Then what is best course of action? Being in Spain repairs & parts are painfully expensive so I might be better of getting a 2/h ine in the UK. Any assistance appreciated B. Rgds John

Ok thanks. Yes I can fit a generic though it's a bit fiddly.

Damn I'd forgotten to renew my membership!! My old electric radiator fan has died. Relay seems to click on and at the plug it gets power. Seen a few awfully crap old ones on ebay, and also some generic new ones. Any suggestions on a replacement? Bit sweltery sitting in traffic right now !!

Love to have you all :-) Unfortunately I think you are all under the misapprehension that it is all lovely and warm and sunny here...... regrettably for the last few weeks it has been very English..... grey, cool & miserable. Meanwhile, any suggestions on where I can get a new throttle cable ...

:lol Accommodation here is free..... we have a separate little casita just for the event.... Regrettably couriers are cheap :-(

Ok, thanks. Yes, life is tough :roflol: :beer: Makes it a bit trickier though :-) But we have an office in the UK so I can get stuff posted there and brought back easily enough.

Hi, and thanks for replying :-) Which version were they as I can see they do a few different types ? B. Rgds John

I notice Milners do a set for £30+vat per side. Any comments ? http://www.milneroffroad.com/nissan/terrano/r20-2-7td-1993-1999-maverick-1993-terrano-1/r20-suspension-1/r20-suspension-shock-absorber-front-1

My cable was getting pretty stiff and ironically when I finally checked I noticed it was seriously stretched - it has loads of play which may explain a bit of the lack of power more recently :-) Any idea where I can get a new one for a 1995 Terrano ? Seems they are pretty generic to a lot of...

Please, leave politics out of it.... (but please note that the UK gets screwed just as badly in other ways). It has nothing to do with 'free trade' nor the EU. Rgds John

I can only speak from my experience of recambios in various shops / Talleres for both trade and consumer pricing etc. I have spoken to several Spanish people in the trade who have said that they know that prices in Spain are much more expensive than the UK as they have worked at autospares etc...

Probably....... don't suppose they'll be cheap but sure they are available at the breakers...... Let me know and I can try and find out. B. Rgds John

Yup.... I get all that. Brexit is a killer.... but won't get into the politics here. We'll have done 10 years next year so can apply for a Spanish passport.... problem solved (apart from being paid in GBP which is a killer right now) Happy as here. No desire to go back at all. Currently in...

Thanks :-) Just a few old ones I'd dumped up there ages ago - couldn't think of anywhere else to post in a hurry !

Sorry.... thanks for replies. Out & about today. Will respond properly tomorriw. Had to pop to Alicante for the day. B. Rgds John

Jejejeje.... me cago en la leche !!!!! Ouch...... !! I sussed it fairly quickly, fortunately. My (spanish) mechanic mate did a few emergency repairs on the Escort two weeks back and profusely apologised for the parts prices (and they were trade.....) He knows how bad it is. But I had no option...

Now..... https://flic.kr/p/MitULW :beer:

Thanks... I'll go check it out. B. Rgds John

Parts in Spain (and 2nd hand cars) are ridiculously expensive. I know people in motor factors here who have been to the UK and could not believe how much cheaper the UK is. I can buy 4 spark plugs in the UK for the price of one here. Same story for most common parts. Did a clutch on my Escort a...
