this is it on the bench, luckily most of it is there

suprisingly it came out easily, i made room above it by undoing some of the wiring, the bottom bolt was missing totally! so i pulled it out the top

yay, now to try another

not sure if my pics come up properly so forgive me if this is empty:clap

at school picking the kids up and the terra wouldnt start, there was a clicking/grinding noise coming from the starter selenoid area so we pushed it off and it started fine. well got home and on closer inspection the startermotor has sheared at the top bolt and has noved away from the engine...

if you go for the D test you have to do a physical first which il fail ( i have tourettes, which i dont have to inform dvla about and i just drive/ride when im upto it) but iv been into my local dvla office to ask about minibus driving and the official line (which i got in writing) is that on a...

just incase anyones interested an lgv training centre in hull uses a car and trailer and charges £32/hour plus £115 for your test. they say people need between 8 and 12 hours training. thats £370!!! it takes the urine that i need to do this as its no different to what i already drive in essence...

never mind, as long as they pull their fingers out in getting it back on the road, just as an afterthought, my dad was rearended in a mondeo a few years ago, 3 weeks after his insurance renewel so after the claim his insurance cover was terminated and when he tried to renew the car was deemed as...

since i posted ive looked into doing my +E licence, just waiting to hear what itl cost. iv been towing a trailer for years and a caravan with my mondeo so just feels like bollox that i cant with my terra. i reckon its just ANOTHER way to get more money from the law abiding.

so i passed my my test after 97 so.... my t2 weighs 2580kg (according to the plate) so looking at the DVLA website i can either tow upto 750kg as the combined weight would be 3330kg combined weight, or, i can have a total train weight of 3500kg which is the car plus 920kg worth of trailer. have...

the nylon bushes on mine are knackered, does anyone know where i can get some from? iv checked ebay but couldnt find them.

i thought the same, defo used to be blue. the front bumper thing looks to be made of plastic so its just part of the bodykit for looks, if your into that sort of thing. itd be smashed off at the first hint of grass verge!!:lol

yer the 2 tow balls do protude a bit but i dont see how you could have front ones fitted without then being proud of the bumper? youd just keep jack knifing if they were flush.

dont think your meant to use the rag method if you have a turbo as the back pressure can damage it, might be ok for a few seconds but dont overdo it.

ive come to the same conclusion regarding a removable winch, im going to make a new front bumper with a flat platform to mount it too, that way my insurance provider will be non the wiser, shhh lol obviously il have to inform them of the bumper, but, as long as it looks the same(ish) as standard...

so heres my thinking... next time i need tyres im going to go for 30/31s, i love the look of the lifted trucks so il look into which type will suit me best and probably go for that. i need to do some welding on the front bumper struts for the m.o.t so il probably make a new sheet metal front...

im sure it wont be as good but my insuance will rocket if i fit a winch so was thinking of getting one of those farm hand/lever winches for the 2 or 3 times a year i may need it. any opinions?

thankyou, i feel like iv just had a good telling off for asking the question:eek: i am just after a few sensible mods to enhance any offroading i may do. as i said it is a family daily driver BUT so far iv used her to tow a double decker bus up an icy hill, rescue my friends car from a ditch and...

wont removing it ruin my onroad handling? i drive with the wife and 4 kids in so dont want to be inducing any extra vomit lol i like the body lift though and was looking at the spring topmount thing with the modded landrover bits. is it worth doing this without the lift?

il check in morning, its a bit dark now to go rummaging in my scrapmetal heap:naughty
