So the MOT on the 80 ran out on the 8th - and as I'm getting prepared to sell it and want to sell with 12 months MOT I managed to get it booked in today. Dropped it off at 8am, and they rang at about 10am - I assumed the worst but was very pleasantly surprised that they were telling me to come...

PM me -I may be able to help

Well done ! it leaves the field a bit clearer for me now!!!!! Your comments about the box and years had me flummoxed for a bit - but the pics explain it. I associate later 2003 cars with the dogleg 5 spd box, earlier ones with the straight throw box with overdrive switch. There was a period...

Hi - yes pls - I'll PM you my email address for the pics etc. cheers

Hi - I'm looking for an LC4 roof bar for a 120 series 54 plate - passenger side. Some idiot ran into a barrier at work and now needs a new one...Also pls let me know if you know of any 120s being broken. cheers

I know - and have considered it - but once you've had an Amazon nothing else will do......

keyed panels - front drivers door, passenger door and rear quarter, down to the undercoat. He was talking about repainting the whole side - what worries me more is what happened to the wing in the first place and how it has been fixed as the repair is to a very low standard. The bonnet is...

I think that's the right choice. The 4sp and 5sp aren't that far apart - and for where you are going and what you are doing I'd reckon the fewer electrics the better. I've just been to see one near Manchester that you've probably spotted - an 04 at £15k with 63k miles. Black. Looks nice...

cheers - I've already got a set of triples (and a double!) and that's why I'm after a tower - it's bad enough at that height without trying to get 12 foot sections of heavy guttering up to the level and it's then not possible to fit them unless you've got 3 other blokes on 3 other sets of...

cheers Bob and Ryan Should have been clearer - Boss is Youngman Boss and by tower I mean aluminium tower. I can get a full alu tower for about 450/500 and take my time on both jobs rather than hire over weekends for about 350. anyone got any advice re aluminium towers? Oh yeah - the gable...

Anyone got any advice about scaffolding - apart from not falling off it? I've got guttering to replace on a tall victorian house (gutters at 24ft) and a gable end to paint on another. Getting someone to hire it is absurd, and weekend hire of those cherry picker things is astronomical - I want...

are you sure you need 4? I've just done mine - the rear windows now work fine (where before they wouldn't even go down) but the drivers door isn't a whole lot better. The passenger door is better, but what I'm thinking is that it's a combination of the door rubbers and other factors that...

What's stock for an 80 on 16"s? 275x70x16?

It's a 93 with 199k. It's got a big list of bills and receipts with it which I need to sort out so that I know what's been done when - but it's had BEBs, cambelt, new brakes all round, front axle rebuild yadda yadda yadda. Drives like a champ (touch wood!) and much better than the grey one I...

Pictures of my recent purchase. On the beach for about 15 minutes, even in reverse up a dune with one wheel spinning I couldn't get the rear locker to engage. I need to work out what to do next.....

Absolutely - it's all about the green.....whatever they can find to charge you for they will. I spotted on the house insurance renewal the other day a £32 quid cancellation charge. A charge for not wanting something. God help me if I ever want to claim against one of these policies.......

I've done what you are trying to do - I've swapped from an 04 100 series (plus a weekend car on diff Flux policy) to a daily driver (Skoda fabia diesel - 2002) which has my NCB attached and an 80 policy linked to that policy. The 80 insurance started at zero NCD, but got 20% when linked by...

update - I bought and fitted a Clarion CX609. Bluetooth phone works fine, much better sound quality from ipod and it doesn't look too flashy or new for the car. The only downside is that the radio reception is patchy - the aerial is 100% plugged in to the back of the unit, but what worked...

We've all been ripped off on ebay - but you actually collected this item - not clear whether you inspected this at the time or not but it looks like more than one person made a mistake....... Get a bit more relaxed about things - at least you've got an item to sell. Last week I got the chance...

I'm in the habit of resurrecting old threads today! Similar situation to the OP - an 80 series where the original single din radio display has bled and now you can't see anything so it's pot luck what you end up listening to. It's time to put something else in (it has a single din CD player...

It's what the search function is for 8-) cheers both

OK - the axle breather? - I'm confused...where is it located?

There's a photoblog somewhere of a dutch guy who went from Holland to Cape Town on a bike - not a GSA or KTM but an R1. Also the BBC programme about big journeys which had a S.Af couple driving to the UK - did lots of research, they went out and bought an 80 series. They rolled it and wrote...

cheers scott. Yes - I don't need a front locker and don't plan to do any serious offroading - it's mostly down to price I guess. I think I know the car (and seller) you're talking about but I don't think he's yet 100% ready to sell. OTOH I do quite fancy getting an 80 and making sure it's...

Hi, I'm Richard and I'm from Stalybridge. That's in Cheshire but too close to Manchester for my liking! I'm self employed and work in computing - which isn't my passion but is how I earn money. My real interests are photography and playing guitar. I'm also a member on the "dark side" forum...
