Re: Stud length Merc 17 inch

Ok just incase anyone else is daft enough to put 17" 8j :shock: merc alloys on. I put 60mm stud conversion on front and rear. 10mm spacers up front, 12mm on the rear. Had to grind the lip off edge of the upper front wishbones. Speedo matches the sat nav so now accurate. The front tyres are just...

Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!

You will need a new gasket as well as a filter, and 5-6 litres of ATF. Make sure you clean thoroughly around the bottom of the gearbox before removing the sump p...

Re: Window Tinting

Anyone with tinted rear windows had any issues with the suckers on thermal blinds pulling the film off? I have the film ready to do our van but we use theJK thermal blinds with suckers attaching them to the inside of the windows, when we camp. my gut feeling is the suckers will pull the film off whe...

New Windscreen Help Please

I need to buy a new windscreen. Any advice where to go and where not to go around the North West would be much appreciated.
I am looking at avoiding the big players as I am guessing they will be extortionate and will be calling a few independants.
Thanks
