that sounds pretty simple, I'll get hold of a replacement in that case and see how I go. Thanks Chris :)

seems I get one thing fixed and something else breaks :( just got the exhaust manifolds replaced by a friend who has declared he never wants to see the explorer again. Unfortunately whilst it was getting sorted the passenger side torsion bar has given up and sheared at the front end were it...

cheers Chris, I'll PM you my details.

Looks like I've either not out it back on properly or at all, whatevers the case, it's missing and I need a replacement. Has anybody got one they would be willing to sell me?? Graham.

Parts were lost by the courier, they arrived a couple of days ago so hope to get it sorted over the weekend depending on the weather :)

cheers Chris, think I'd better check the other side just in case :)

ok, removed pads and checked for any debris etc but all looks fine, stuck the wheel back on and it rocks a good 1/4 inch in all directions

getting a horrible grinding noise the last couple of days from the drivers side, got it jacked up and the wheel off. if I take hold of the brake disk I can wobble it in all directions, appears to be play in the hub, is this normal or does it sound like I need to replace???? Graham.

cheers, thats just what I was looking for :-)

brake bleed nipples that is :-) my front right pipe gave up so after replacing that I tried to get the bleed screw off, its solid, tried heating, WD40 and mole grips, thing is now totally rounded. I know I can get it off but need to get replacements.... first...No idea what size to get though

thats the problem with Scotland, the free engines are too far away :'-(

don't try ebay ID thesinkingship, he is believed to of sunk, ebay ended up giving me a refund themselves and ended all his auctions as nobody could get in touch with him.

cheers Si, I've managed to find one on ebay though. Graham.

This freezing weather has put an end to my radiator, anyone got one they don't need? cheers, Graham.

I was sure she was gonna fail this year too, handbrake iffy, exhaust baffles knackered and small leak. Fortunately I have found a really good tester, he stuck some putty on the exhaust (apparently the baffles aren't part of the test) and the handbrake only just passed, asked him if it was...

I can see I'm gonna have to wash my baby and get some photo's up

Cheers Chris, looks like just what I need, really like that they calculate the vat etc, makes things so much easier.

Have any of you guys used this service http://www.bongous.com/?? or one similair? I've been looking for a flowmaster series 50 SUV muffler in the UK but no luck, came across this and started checking ebay.com for cheap ex bits :-D

I'll certainly check my aft array dissipator for my wrist watch as suggested as it occurs to me that it could well be the problem. If I find any swelling should I stick it with a screwdriver to relieve access pressure???

I seem to of developed a ticking noise, it goes up an down with revs but I can't hear it from outside with the bonnet open so don't think it's the engine. have to admit to not having a clue when it comes to mechanics, managed to do the oom12 tensioner last weekend due to this forum so hoping...

ello and welcome :-) Looks like got a real Bargain there

Ditch the head unit, dremel out the space a bit and stick in a 7in touch screen.... clock can then fill that screen (via a PC)

blonde moment? Glad you came to your senses in time :-D

you gonna take pity and bid ?? :-D

Why do people do this........ :banghead:

hmm...... searching through the rest of the forum gives very mixed opinions... :-( looks like I'll just have to jump in and see what happens

I'm trying to decide if it's better to replace the stock air filter with either a KKM or a K&N panel. does the K&N improve things much?, has anyone in the UK tried the KKM?? Graham.

Just got a quote from Elephant, £315, not bad considering it's group 16. thats with business use too and interior/exterior mods

mines the other way round, always got less fuel when facing downhill

Still learning, just went solo then ran out of money :-( need to get it out of the hanger so I can actually afford to finish the training.

Great Idea Jay!!, Thankyou I have a tendancy to over think things sometimes :-)

:-D I'll be moving the whole plane... It's like a big Hangglider wing, tips fold into the center. the trike is on a trailer which does have a wing rack however it's designed to have the front of the wing hang over the the backend of the car, the Ex is i bit too tall :-( only problem I can...

Does anyone know of any way I can support a 19 foot microlight wing on the roof ? Most microlighters use a ladder attached to the roof rack however as our racks don't actually come anywhere close to the front of the vehicle an awfull lot would be stuck out the back. I need some way of...

Oooooo like the roof mounted lights

Todd. There's a nice looking '89 IROC-Z or if your feeling flush an even better '67 350 in silver. http://www.classic-american.com/cars_for_sale/cars_for_sale.pdf

Found these on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190267271901&_trksid=p2761.l1259 they look like Ex wheels to me and I was waiting on a better picture from the seller however I ended up having to get 2 new ones yesterday so cash has gone :-( anyway, someone...

Si, it was looking at the link you gave for yours that got me thinking, just want something a bit more for road use though :-) BIGHVM, couldn't believe the price when I saw it, the friend I bought the Ex from in the first place has all the gear to change the tyres over too so I can get that...

I'm needing to change all my tyres shortly, thinking of these Kingpin retreads http://www.mjmotorfactors.co.uk/shop/show_product_info.php?id=KPC2657016ADV searching seems to indicate that 265/70 16's will fit without rubbing, does that sound right? also, does anyone have any experience...

I'm 36, Fife, Scotland full no claims, pay around £470 fully comp with business use via Direct Line

might be worth going on the carpc forum www.digital-car.co.uk for a look although I don't think anyone has yet managed to get a decent TV signal.
