catsinthewelder Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 But not the Stowaway you're picking up for me I hope Sorry, I offered to do this because I knew I would be driving past but nobody got back to me quick enough. Is anyone else likely to pass Pershore (Worcs) on the way to SF15? That`ll be me 38p per KG but give me an idea of how many you will be bringing as I shall be bringing the Standard Pennant so can`t take that many from shitfest I'm still happy to bring some back in the Cherry if needs be, there's 3 duff batteries and some other scrap here already come to think of it.

Richard Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ooh ta. I think... did I want them? As I offered in the offered thread...Were £50, £40 to you Richard, is that ok?I'll try to dig you out some spare wheel bolts too, but I'm sure there's not a full set. Are you still in the market for a tow-bar for the blue saloon? I'll take the wheels, thanks. The V70 can fulfil all my towing requirements now that I've made it boost but I'd be interested if your one is a flange type. I've got a bike carrier that fits on a tow bar flange.

Inspector Morose Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Does this mean I've got to fit it afterwards? chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 No. Well, not initially. The way it usually works is that I have a go with my usual half-arsed incompetence, then you come along and fix everything while I keep you supplied with coffee thick enough to resurface the M6.

explosive-cabbage Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Thank you. My drivers side wheel is occasionally rubbing and I'm not familiar with these suspension setups!It the rear beam is anything like a 205 / 306 it sound from the symptoms like the bearings in the cross tube have gone. If you jack the car up and check for play in the suspension by pushing and pulling the top and bottom of the wheel respectively that will diagnose if the inner cross tube bearing is fucked. Much easier to get a good beam from a scrapper, the rebuild kits start at about £100 for a good quality copy from Poland but its quite a difficult job. The trailing arms I think you may be looking for will not solve the problem as they never really go wrong, it is the trailing arm shaft inside the cross-tube that wears and gets damaged by the knackered bearing. The only way to check if this has happened is to pull the beam apart and check the bearing faces on the trailing arm shafts. I will talk you through it at Shitefest.

KruJoe Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Will, have you seen the oil requests from 320t? I think he's from Scotchlandshire, so it may be a better idea for him to call in for his bulk purchase on the way back up the M6. skattrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Beko your clonking is likely to be the axle mountings, which as yours is a disc beam is very difficult to diagnose due to the shite handbrake. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms206 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Possible Shiteleyfest request... anyone in the south coast coming with a biggish estate/van? Been offered a NOS front door for the 345DL from a fella on a coach drivers facebook in Brighton. No hassle if not as he's on a 12 day Scottish tour later in the month with a coach but worth a nosy!

AnthonyG Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Three boxes of car magazines, from 1960s through to a few months ago. Autocar/motor/classic & Sportscar/classic American/car/Motorsport (only a few each of these last three titles). Also some books that Richard Welfare gave me last year, and a few other bits of random tat such as an Alfa Romeo badge. The only stuff I'll be selling will be issue 1 and issue 2 of Jalopy (£5 and £3 respectively). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
