Im sure this will probably be the thousandth posty on electric windows (for HD80/HDJ81) as they absolutely suck when they get old. Ive tried everything to get the them working, lubricating the runners and rubber seals along the window, which only lasts a few months. Now im thinking it would be...

Does it make £2ks worth of difference, did you have to put a 3 inch exhaust and intercooler on also?

Ill post how I get on, thanks for your comment.

Too much choice :-)

Thanks everyone for you feedback, I have read through every one of them and its certainly food for thought. The first thng is to get it properly diagnosed and then go from there. I like the idea of WINK but how come they dont post their prices on their website. Always a bit suspeicous of that...

Right enough, id better drop it down to the local, car doctor to get it diagnosed properly before spending a load on a new Turbo. ALtghjough I am secretly hoping it is the Turb so I have an excuse to buy a decent one :-)

Hi everyone, So travelling up to Stratford the other weekend and my friend tells me that the old LC is blowing a lot of blue smoke whilst I’m accelerating past lorries or going uphill, its hardly noticable when ticking over. So, I’m guessing the oil seals have gone on the Turbo. Fair enough...

Yeah me too, its taken me two years to get this far but at least everything mechanical is now finished, just need the final external bits and pieces. :-)

Hi James, do you have the tent with it?

Hi Andy, is there a PM on here? If not 07855 405626.

Thanks Rich, I think we spoke about mine kst year. It is made from black steel Is a single winch bar with winch slot. It petrudes around 6 inches and I think it’s home made although couldn’t swear to that. I’ll bring the whole lot up to the show as it’s still bolted to my cruiser at the mo.

Hey Guy, thanks for this, I’m looking for one that particularly covers the lights but thanks for posting and yes meant Stratford Overland

Hi All, just putting the feelers out for anyone who may have a decent second hand Winch Bar for sale. Will be at the Stafford show so if going would be a bonus. Like the look of Iron man or similar, black and sturdy rather than soft and shiny as its for an overland vehicle. Howling Moon roof...

They are very hit unpredictable these MOT places, mine passed a few months back. The window wiper rubbers were hanging off, I have very bright LED lights all around and I'm sure the speedo wasn't working then. I at least expected a telling off!
