stevew,
what/where is this bush you refer to?

I fitted seatbelts in a syncro van many years ago when doing a camper conversion. I welded the nuts to the spreader plates and taped them to the end of a metal bar. Working from the wheel arch and after easing out the retaining mesh, I was able to get in between the sound insulation material and the...

With reference to the noisy CV joint - if it was already worn there would be shallow 'grooves' in the inner & outer races, where the balls were previously running. If you have now effectively raised the suspension the joint angle will have changed. As a result, the balls will now be running in a...

Thanks for all these responses - even though it has turned into a 16" 'for sale' board! I am still confused about just how frugal or otherwise I should expect a syncro to be. The recent announcement of likely increases in fuel costs and maybe in road tax for vehicles with high fuel consumption ...

Hi, I have recently joined the Syncronauts as I am actively seeking a syncro. I owned a succession of three between 1989 and 2000 but have been attracted back by the current increased activity. Maybe some of you can help me with answers to some questions, please? I always hankered after a 16" s...
