Re: Carpet lining my van
On a slightly related note, does anyone have a lead for carpet trim for the front seat boxes? Not interested in making any (too much else on). Thanks!

Re: Wiper headlight issues!
I'd guess that is a grounding issue- once the engine is running a new path is found or lost to ground and bypassing what you need. Check out the 'earth crowns' (search for a picture) , just above and behind the glovebox to make sure they are clean and all connected up. Common problem for electrical ...

Re: Early Gear Linkage Reconnection - Shift Linkage Housing?
That's always deflating when nothing much changes, or even gets worse. Have you checked over the linkage at the gearbox? The ball and socket on the selector lever is heavily worn on mine - you can grab it through the engine bay and look for play in that joint. While someone wiggles the gearstick if ...

Re: Stainless Steel Silencer for Subaru Powered T25
Hi ho, We can perhaps share notes- I have 2" pipes, and don't experience any lack of power, having had it over 90mph on one short lived,unwise and not to be repeated occasion some years back. It will roar up to the 8k rpm cut out if you have the nerve (not in 5th!). Any gear over 3.2k is defini...

Re: Coolant heater matrix pipe replacement
I think they're one piece each, so should be fine to just thread through. Maybe use some string to pull them through aswell[emoji106]

Re: Dashboard screws
This is what I did. The impact drivers you hit with a hammer, not the electric power tool. Bosh boshOldiebut goodie wrote:Impact driver with a very long bit and a 7lb hammer worked for me. Used carefully it can be done.

Re: Will these Audi A3 S-Line alloys fit ok?
No expert, but that's a big offset and pretty wide too. Safe strength fir van weight? I thought an A3 is quite a small car?

Yes to take any rings off. Nearly blew my finger off earlier this year by working in cramped space with metal nearby. Otherwise, yes you're fine [emoji3526]

Re: Grinding rear brake, the crud i found inside..
Thanks Aidan. I'll order new shoes and probably springs. Brickworks have OEM cylinders fir £15 a pop- I suppose you'd recommend those instead of £10 aftermarket? I think handbrake cables will be good idea too. I've lost my outside workspace due to some neighbouring construction project , so I'll hav...

Grinding rear brake, the crud i found inside..
Ive had a grinding sound from the the nearside rear drum brake for a while, juist when applying brakes, and not a cyclical noise.I thought i might need new shoes, maybe they were down to the bone. Ive opened it up with a bit of lump hammer whacking on the drum to chock it loose, and found this desp...
