ah yes having to take things off the tailgate to open the drawers is a problem I hadn't thought of! that's something to consider. Lorin that looks incredible, I don't think my carpentry skills are quite up to that but congratulations, looks great.

hello! I'm thinking it might be time for a proper boot storage solution for the 80. I've built my own in the past, and I may do so again but thought it worth asking for any recommendations. have you got a rear drawer setup you're particularly pleased with that you would recommend? thanks in...

Those nut huggers look just the job! Thank you, and that's a very dangerous website, I could spend lots of pocket money on there!

Hello all, I'm in the process of replacing the lower swivel hub studs, and given the catastrophic consequences of these falling out whilst driving I wondered if they could be secured further, beyond torque and loctite. has anyone tried anything? I was thinking about drilling through the very...

Hi Adrian! when Pete told me you had bought her back I was thrilled, I was absolutely gutted to see her go, as was my better half. silly how emotionally attached you get to these things isn't it? anyway I hope she will still do you proud, she is a bit battered but she's done a lot of work! all...

I've got it advertised for £10.950. it's an import so no rust, and some other nice go faster bits, namely big turbo and a 4" stainless pipe. needless to say there would be a forum member discount! the advert is on FB marketplace. rob

I've got one, they are mega. it's not an 80 series though! it's actually for sale at the mo.

apologies for the very late update! good news, removed the oil level sensor. couldn't see anything mechanically the matter with it, so had a look on YouTube and there was a chap having the same issue as me. he found that both nuts (tiny 6mm things) that hold the assembly together were loose, and...

Dave, what can I say, that's a wealth of information and I'm grateful to you for taking the time to write it out. I think the first course of action (after reading all of your thread on MUD) is to do an oil change and whip that sensor out whilst the sump is empty. see if it can be unstuck, if...

Grimbo, I'm pleased you said that, it was my thought process too. Shayne, I think that merits some looking into. I'm not against having a stand alone gauge alongside the boost and EGT gauges but one that worked with the standard gauge would be nicer, even if just to avoid having a dead gauge...

morning, thanks for the input, upon further inspection the light is orange/yellow, not red. I've read that some had an oil level light, not oil pressure. I'm wondering if that's the warning I'm getting. of course there's oil in it but there is a plug on the sump that would be ideally placed to...

Evening, oil pressure light came on earlier (very alarming!) however the gauge hasn't changed any of its habits and everything is still running nicely. would this be a sender issue or an electrical gremlin? many thanks, Rob

not sure where you are but I've just had my recored by Guildford radiators and they've done a beautiful job.

Thanks for the replies guys. Karl, would love to see some pictures, thanks! The good lady and I had a pretty chilly wet time camping in Scotland recently and it got us thinking about a very small demountable camper. we have a friend with one and it's a fantastic bit of kit. For me, a flat bed or...
