Re: Insurance quotes

You can't beat 'Go Compare'! They'll check loads of insurers for you and give you a big list! My cheapest quote was with Marks&Spencer... £225 Third party, fire and theft! But then I am nearly 28, only 3 years no claims though!

Re: using a motorbike engine?!

I was thinking about this one but was talked out of the idea by a local guy who has a 1100cc Kawasaki engine in a mk1 Fiesta! He was talking about 'reciprocating mass' and how a bike engine is made to move something that weighs 200kgs! It's good in a 700kg car when you can rev the hell out of them t...

Re: plexxi glass/plastic windows or screens.

Rather than perspex use polycarbonate! It's about 100 times stronger!!!

Re: Engine trouble. Need help urgently!

If the battery is drained completely it can damage it as the lead plates inside can warp but if it started fine on another occasion it sounds more like a dodgy earth! Nothing too difficult to sort out as it sounds like it's on the starter circuit! Make sure all your earth leads are in place! There s...

Re: Rust

When you say replace it with box section what do I attach the box section to? Is it only meant to attach to the floor and the side panels? As it happens I have acces to some 100mm box section from work whichis going free! Would that be a good start?

Rust

Well as I didn't have much on this weekend I thought I'd have a closer look at that 50p sized hole in my footwell and clean in up ready for welding! I pulled the carpet up and had a close look, what I found was lots of fibreglass! I thought it can't be much and as I'd rather have it all plated prope...

Re: 6" SPOA weld on saddles

I'm going to do an SPOA lift this year but it is really worth sourcing your products from good places! After searching for a while I found a site called RockyRoad in the USA and it is amazing for all things with the SJ! I bought a set of 6" lift SPOA 'Duluxe' saddles which are excellent quality...

Re: Engine trouble. Need help urgently!

That sounds almost like it's being starved of fuel! Make sure your fuel tank breather is clear, if you are unsure take the fuel cap off and try again! Also if you had water in the tank this can create a problem but it is very easy to pull off the fuel line from the fuel pump inlet and attach another...

Re: Front end?

I'm just outside Taunton in Somerset. When you say repairable what kind of repairs needed? Distance isn't a problem as I am quite willing to pay for postage if you put them on a pallet!

Thanks

Front end?

Hi guys, I know I should be putting a wanted ad in here but do these get looked at very much?? I am desperately looking for a good condition front end for my Samurai... When I say front end I mean inner and outer wings on both sides! My MOT is looming and I've got holes on the inner wings you could ...
