I've heard of one being stuck on before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=132crqqzgEw

So I'm a little confused, the diesel torque tube to diff bolt doesn't land anywhere? It just runs out the other side of the diff flange. Or are you talking about a different bolt? IMG_0796s.jpg Closer up: IMG_0796ss.jpg Can just see the back of the bolt coming through the diff in this shot: IMG_0794...

I have a diesel diff, which bit did you want me to measure? Where the torque tube bolts to the diff, or the other end where the rubber is?

On one drive I thought my brakes had completely failed, but they worked right at the bottom of the pedal travel too. Mine was the master cylinder had failed.

Here are two things that are easy to forget when removing an engine:
Disconnect speedo cable
Remove gearstick

Tip: gearbox oil will leak out the back of the gearbox

If it looks neat I'd just give it a go and see if it passes.

I love my deep sockets, they are so useful. Get a set that starts at 8mm, make sure it has 10, 12 and 13 too. I am a big fan of cheapo socket sets. Plain straight handled ratchet so you can easily put a jack handle over the end for extra leverage ;) Gotta have a few extension pieces. A universal joi...

You shouldn't need to drill through it, there are special zip tie like mounting things specifically for this purpose. They should fit between the fins without drilling. This is the quickest and easiest way to mount a fan on a radiator. Quick ebay search (there are probably better/cheaper versions, t...

Is the car running and up to temperature when you are trying the heater? If it is then the heater core may be blocked.

There's a better way?! I feel like Homer juicing an orange... And I had trouble seating the rear of the gasket

I changed the sump gasket by undoing the engine mounts and jacking the motor up. This gets you about 5cm. It's damn hard! The oil pickup is tricky to get around. Then the rounded ends were tricky to get sitting right with the gasket. I got it done but i don't recommend it... i was so covered in oil ...

One more example, this thing came to the latest Reliant gathering. It's not a Reliant but it is registered! https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t1.0-9/q81/s720x720/10342474_10152088942131080_198537618794798727_n.jpg https://scontent-b-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/q79/s720x720/10...

Good question, I'll ask someone about the height restrictions at MOT time question and let you know. But I won't hear a word against Edd China and his amazing creations! Here is a quote from his website: You will also find Edd behind the road legal Sofa, Bed, Desk and many more weird and wonderful c...

Here are the pictures of our turbo diesel. It was a very simple setup, but in my opinion it only made the car go like a stock 1.6L non-turbo petrol gemini. Perhaps could have gone better with more boost, but this may have required more extensive mods. It is a tiny T2 turbo, which I don't think is a ...

They might have similar rules but the police attitude is different. Having a chat to the car enthusiasts over here we have heard/seen that the cops don't bother them at all. Police are only after non-registered, not insured or no road tax. Or driving like a dickhead of course. One of them said that ...
