This one you can't see , changed oil and filter ready for the winter .

 

[BigBod]

New wheel bearings, new bushes on front wishbones...what a difference, now silent and silky smooth... didn't need to use the wishbone ball joints I bought if anyone needs a pair, just looking to get back what I paid for them £40 posted....

 

[Simon58]

Took a whopping 10 minutes and got these results - only planned on trying a bit to see what it would do... and then set some time aside later in the day to do properly - but realised how quick it was and kept going it could probably do with another go... but not bad for first bash.

Thanks for posting this, just got some for peanuts, Husband tried it, brilliant stuff. But also used it on the wind deflectors, look stunning again. Also used it inside the Ellie on the dash clocks cover thingy which looked rubbish when the light hit it, all speckled from polish over-spray when the garage got it ready for sale. Brilliant, would buy this again.

i put some new batteries in the remote control behind the front passenger seat - now I can open and close the sun roof AND control the climate control by remote control ! Don’t know what the other buttons are for though . Not bad for a two grand van

Just to report back. Cruise control all works. Very easy to use and has 2 memory functions and a speed limiter.
If you like the stalk type it is highly recommended and just over half the price of the OEM one and it's a UK company so delivered in 24hrs. I have fitting instructions if anyone wants a look.

That looks tidy if it’s only the last plastic bit stuck out? Did you just have to drop the plastic cover off the bottom of the steering column and drill?

 

[Wolop]

Had these fitted yesterday, not by me but by the professionals at STW at totton View attachment 25814

This looks great , did you have the full system including the primary cats done? Or just a partial section?

From the front cats back... secondhand system that needed some adjustments to make them fit..chuffed with the results

 

[Iszumi]

Back on the road after having secondhand gear box fitted. Old one speed sensor knackered. easier cheaper to fit whole gear box. so i was told .
so shes back on the rd with 3.5 gear box .

Today I managed to dodge the showers and fit my new battery. Much bigger than the one that was in there and fully sealed maintenance free, again, unlike the one removed, which was probably barely up to the job, although it never let me down unless I sat with the ignition on without the engine running for too long, which was about 20 minutes.

It could be my imagination but inside lights seem brighter and electric door seems to run smoother.

What battery have you gone for please my doors are verrrry sluggish and I suspect its the original battery. It deserves a new one I think and total piece of mind. Thanks in advance

 

[StuartCoopland]

Fitted cruise control yesterdayView attachment 25584

Going to test it today. Ran through the diagnostics and seems ok so far

This looks great Simon!! I think for the price Im gonna get this instead of the autostrada. The bills just adding up and I really need the help to stop creeping up past 60mph haha. The gal just wants to go!!!!!!!

Yep quite easy really.
I will find the instructions and post them. Can't stop using it now! Any excuse.

 

[Teach]

Instructions for fitting the cruise control. Took me 2 hrs but I spent most of that finding my tools! Must tidy my shed!

Top man! Haha I am on cruise every possible minute if a vehicle has it. It just completely eliminates the ‘ooo am I speeding’ thought every few seconds. It’s hard enough dodging idiots on the road without thinking about speeding too

 

[Vigilant teSte]

Bye bye horrible woody insert VG shifter.


Now...where can I get a boss for a new wheel

Honestly Yuasa are the best batteries you can buy imho.. I recently had one last 14 years on my Suzuki motorbike... You need a YBX5334.. Halfords do them with a 5 year guarantee.
