oops, wrong end of stick! :oops:

mine was not fully closing, and I found the US seller of new stat 'bulbs' AAVpart .com, which is the ebay listing above. I also found a youtube video showing a M-B AAV been pulled apart using only a hammer and a well-sized socket. Then I read that a squeeze of the brass bulb in a vice is a very...

I seem to remember someone looking for one of these fitting clips recently, can't find the post. Anyway, hope this helps someone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274038617384

Good stuff, I'd missed your earlier post re the rebuild @sfdon Will look into this, didn't know rebuild was an option

Awakening this old thread from its slumbers... My CSL has a slide valve that is passing a good deal of air when warm. What are my options? I've not dismantled one of these before, but even if I do, what can be done to the internals to restore full function? Does Bosch (or anyone else)...

Think I'm going to dive in, because it has developed quickly, and I hope to avoid re-skinning if poss. I got caught in the rain at Gaydon and I'm guessing my door drains are sub par. I dried the car off, but obviously not inside the doors. Unfortunate....

Yes, think I already knew I need to tackle this asap The other door, indeed the rest of the car, is rust free (or at least as rust free as you can assume for a uk car), which is why I was so disappointed to see this develop so quickly. I assume some moisture must have come in at the window and...

Looking for advice on whether to dive into this early, or leave until there are other areas of the car to look at at the same time. Piccie below is the lower front corner of the driver's door. I struggled to get a photo, as without very specific lighting the chamonix bubbles blend very well into...

Timing covers (upper and lower) are on the front of the engine, covering the timing chain. The upper cover fixes to the head and the lower cover to the block. If the head is skimmed without the upper timing cover then the surface will have a step in it, causing issues The compression difference...

Have you done a compression test? I think that has to be done soon, if you haven't already. The oiled plug on cyl 3 indicates a potential issue. If compression good and even across all 6 cylinders you have a stable base to work from, if it's down on one or more, then a leak down test is the next...

thanks, and keep up the good work. Looks fiddly :-)

Well done! Do you have any parts left over? I'm hoping to get my car all working off one key, but i don't have any lock parts with which to take the job on. Cheers

I'll be tootling up the M40 also. Later than Mark's early start Forecast looks great so far

It's one of these: https://www.meaco.com/dehumidifier/home-dehumidifiers/meaco-dd8l-junior-dehumidifier-multi-award-winning the one thing I find annoying about it is that when I switch it back on it doesn't remember the settings from when I switched it off, so I have to reset the fan speed and...

I had noted rust spots blossoming on my garage's previous resident (mk2 Golf) and so bought an inside/ outside humidity meter to monitor humidity levels. At a basic level, this worked well as I was able to open the garage door if humidity outside was lower than inside. However during the UK...

Many thanks Dan and Simon for this, another niggle tidied up :)

No worries Mark, kids had fun, which is what counts. Hope you get your car back soon! Cheers Marco, you think I'd let my kids anywhere near with a bottle of polish? Must be mad ;-)

Some piccies from a car show yesterday, June 9th You'll note the newly restored alloys on their first outing after significant work late last year I was the only E9 there, but there was a 2002 Turbo and a couple of E21s. Many 911s and MGBs....

Thanks Gray Pm sent

Cheers Gransin, I'll look into this next week, hopefully I can find a local anodiser shop who camps take this on Game on!
