And might I say, it's lovely to have someone else share the misery of what is the Lada 2101/1200 with me. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Well it was the closest I will ever get to the Fiat of a similar shape. Yeah, its no 4 x4 but hey, its ok. The walls will be a job for when, if ever, it stops raining. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jude Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've got the PDF for the owners manual of this Lada and i'm going to stick it up on the website when I write about the Lada (so next fortnight). I'll hit you a link so you can get it. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Thanks for that, much appreciated. Any idea where I can get door locks from as the ones on the car are not really functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimad5 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Winner. Lada goes to a good home AND comes closer. If you need a hand with this let me know (once restrictions etc are over) purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The Lada reminds me of the Daf 44 that I had. Utilitarian yet comfy and hard wearing. I knocked the heater on switch accidentally, the resulting screech made me bloody jump. Cord Fourteener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jude Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Get yourself the Doctor Power stuff from the range. Used it in my Lada and not only does it smell nice is shifts shit like sulphuric acid. purplebargeken and BorniteIdentity 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Elbow Grease..fantastic for Engines and grubby door cards, and even sinks & drainers too.. cleans brake dust of wheels a treat too.. did the pickarse engine in summer with it...just a quick spray and £1 of asda's finest jetwash and it came out sparkling!!

EssDeeWon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 A great choice of car and what more could you want for going to the shops in once a week, or when permitted by our leaders in modern day communist Britain. 500tops, Cord Fourteener, purplebargeken and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 No, not yet mate, going to get some dino huice in the morning and lob that in the tank. Too bloody cold to be fettling whilst open to the elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Dino juice containers at the ready, drizzling rain braved, petrol flap opened................ keys looked at and tried, none fit. Raging arse ferrets, no key for the locking petrol cap! Plan abandoned until later when I shall wield a screwdriver and suitably heavy hammer. Urrghh lol.

purplebargeken Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Nearly 60 quid for a plastic locking fuel cap from the Rodina. No, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Could you just pick it? Locks are generally easy to pick and a lot less damage. If you were nearby I'd pop over and do it for you purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Door locks probably superfluous as easy to coat-hangar. Driving an estate version ended up with an overnighter courtesy of PC Plod, as the idiot I was working for had left the rear no. plate off and stuck the wrong tax disc in the window. Accidentally, of course* purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TataBobu Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I've been looking at this site when I had my red 2105, they seem to have a fuel cap with key for a lot less: https://www.lada.shop/en/2108-1103010-20.html Never bought anything from them, as I live one and a half hours away from a big Bulgarian city, and I bought my spare parts from there. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Sadly the drill ran out of charge before I could finish the last seat panel off. The seat has come up really very well indeed, am pleased with it. Door trim is responding well also. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
