Poly Bushes on the Top Arms due to excessive wear. But apart from occasional squeaking from rubber good so far. 4k miles in. Just done Steering Rack in Polys due to wear issues aparrently they can cause vague steering issues. Unknown if these have improved due to doing all the front end at the same ...

Think another New Switch (quality one on my next order) maybe in order 1st. Not sure where I got the last one?

Thanks for ideas.

Mostly 3rd! flickers and stays on some times. Flickers when changing gear not long enough to put camera on.

Was going to fit poly bushes as they're in two halves. I suppose the question is, are the bolts hard to get undone. Bolts where easy enough. Fuel tank is close, but ring spanner fits ok. I considered poly bushes but a little expensive (where do you stop extra £250 for all my bushes)!! But very easy...

Thanks I did wonder if the plunger was the issue. Switch works when removed. If I put the aluminum washer on then it doesn't work. Tungsten bulbs. Bright enough but maybe i will change them and see if that helps. Earths are all ok (gearbox one replaced) crowns a ok. I may need to have another look a...

Did you do inner lower bushes (ie ones in centre of chassis) ? I'm planning to replace mine as one arm now rubs on chassis. Just wondering how difficult they are to do :) These: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zi09IU8IBok/maxresdefault.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; When I did ...

Hi 1.9DG 4 Speed (box code ?) covered 180,000 miles. No 1st gear (linkage sorted) 2nd gear crunched into gear when I got her 2.5 years ago. So drained gearbox (old oil and 1.5ltr low) and refilled which sorted this. Problem: Reverse Lights work as normal, but Flicker on and off in all gears but some...

Just had full steering geometry done today.

£80 and now drives even better.

May guess at set up was miles out.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Thanks for the update :ok ...still smiling at the 14 month road test before you're convinced it's fixed! :D If it's not one thing it's ANOTHER! Since this issue, I have rebuilt Carb (easy) New rear brakes, and this week Radius bushes (welding etc) and all other front end bushes. Think I am slowly m...

Sorry for long long delay!!! Yes fixed!!! It was the Hall Sender, replaced with 2nd hand and this lasted for 3 months then failed again. Same thing I checked earth's etc.. So I replaced coil and hall together and hey it fixed it. Thought it my be the 30 year old coil burning out the hall? I tested i...

Oh Yeah Drives so nice!!

All Done!! It went pretty well! Decided to weld the oval hole and make a round flat one, was easier than I thought.

Thanks I have had a good look, luckily the other side is ok. Plan is to build up the hole with weld as others have mentioned. Hole should be 32mm for the bush by the way! Thought about adding a plate but that will increase the thickness and then would need to increase the sleeve length etc. New Radi...
