Eddie Honda Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've bought from them (SR) before when I was a complete diddy and broke the speedo head connector on my Volvo. They are quite long and correspondingly pricey. M'coli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've received a box of goodies tonight squire, thank you. As for speedo, I'm living with sat nav as funds are really tight at the moment but I keep looking at prices for when I need to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Mrs H was moaning at me spending so long getting bits that I couldn't really revisit the scrappy for a second day to see if there was one. (Much of the time spent was trying to extract the Aux plug wiring from a 2006 Jizz. She seemed to think the majority of the time was spent getting other people bits. Wimmen!)

bub2006 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 After receiving the rear corner cover today I've decided I'm going to have a crack at welding up the holes which means the back light will stay In Without gaffer tape. Any hints and tips welcome please. I've some steel, primer, white paint and wax oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If it blows holes turn it down, if the torch is pushed away from the weld turn the feed down. Basicy get some scrap & fuck about till you've got a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Must admit i'm loving having a van too. If I'd known how cheap the insurance was I'd have done it ages ago. Always had a soft spot for the C15, used to deliver the motorhome versions when new and an old boss had one as a company run about. Great work on getting it fixed.Surprised at this too - I've been getting quotes to keep my shonky Trafic on after I bin my trade insurance and they're really quite cheap!

Dave_Q Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Also make sure you clean the area being welded back to clean, shiny metal, you can't weld properly to rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I know all the basics just worried that's all. Been a while since I had a job like that. The door pin was done out of necessity though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Well I've a job on tomorrow. A run to Preston with a old school moped. It fits lovely in the back of the van. Pics in the morning.

bub2006 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 That's a bloody good price. Everything else seems OK though and it's out my budget at the minute so I'm going to weld it up tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
