There just aren’t any other over here to need the bits. If it’s fucked and now registered scrap a last blaze of glory on the oval is the best way for it to go now. Someone might as well enjoy it one last time. It’s just going to sit on that rack in the yard for ages then get thrown in the shredder when they decide it’s a waste of space. The real tragedy for it was it getting damaged in the first place and written off. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayMK Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 14 minutes ago, stuboy said: L on the selecta? My Mitsubishi Mirage Juro has a similar CVT set-up and has an L. I don't think I've ever used it though in 44K miles. Are the Selecta transmissions reasonably reliable? The Mirage has been fine so far. I have also owned two Volvo 66s with a more primitive CVT set-up using the DAF system. They worked well enough but I did have to rebuild one of the cone assemblies when the spider spring broke. It was a surprisingly straightforward unit to work on, unlike the later metal belt types. Tubbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankytim Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Camskill never responded to my email about the 20 month old tyres so I took that as a big middle finger to the idea of getting them replaced. As the tyres were cluttering the place up I decided to fit them. Getting the old tyres on and off by hand was pretty easy once I’d broken the bead in a suitably padded vice. Soap was used to pop the new tyres on but no matter what I did I couldn’t get the first tyre to bead properly so I could inflate it. A quick YouTube tutorial later and I discovered that the tyre could be pushed onto the bead with suitable support (in this case part of the towing dolly)and the other side could then be massaged onto the opposite wheel bead enough to take air. Soon all tyres were fitted and the 2cv is now sporting a set of new(ish) hoops! loserone, catsinthewelder, Wibble and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artdjones Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 This may be a bit new, but I spent the afternoon replacing the front shocks on the Doblo. Why? The ARB link ripped itself out of the shock. Which was put on the car by the previous owner in July 2021. As the other side did the same thing, and got welded back together last summer I decided to replace both sides with new. The old ones were JapanParts in case you're wondering. It gave me a chance to try out the new spring compressors I bought 18 months ago and never used I have to say they felt safer than any other compressors I've used, although I usually borrow a spring station. wesacosa, Rusty_Rocket, Dyslexic Viking and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah this parts car is having its engine off to a new home northwards. I had to take some panel cuts but it's really too rotten on bits that I need. As this is a very late car (registered 1982!) I guess the factory workers CBA. There is literally no rustproofing on the inside of this front piece I cut off. 3 hours ago, Split_Pin said: Excellent work. Did the front panel just come off in your hands? Pretty much! It was only really being held on by the welds on the wings. I cut along there and the front left fell off, with the right hand side just needing a bit of back and forth action to snap it off.
