  1. DiTch'S ex mod 110 BEEN DOING VARIOUSE BIT AND BOBS TO 110 STILL WORKING ON THE INSIDE AND NEED SOME DEFENDER FRONT SEATS TO FIT INTO THE BACK TUB { THIS IS VARY MUCH A WORK HORSE }
  2. corrado was nice, i wanted one right from the start , like a leopard with wheels, cool ....... but its time for me to move on
  3. really sorry for you dude , remember whiplash is vary serious indeed and you WILL require COMPENSATION so do what the doc says
  4. cheers for that , never ceases to amaze me what people that know puters can do with puters ben 16v has put a link on the thread to my gallery cheers
  5. today i brought a ex mod 110 {land rover} its the 2.5 n/a diesel, it has a top speed of about 65 and where ever i went a tail back formed behind me ,.... it was fantastic, .......... so i will be selling my 16v theres some pics of it in my gallery and i will draught up a proper for sale add in the next few days
  6. dealer stamp or not its a lot of money to shell out on a oil change , could probably put the money to better use on other areas of the car
  7. cheers chaps , i also have a large file with { all the cars recipts} thats everything from day one when the car was sold starting with the bill of sale { it cost £15500 new in 1991 } and has had £9000 spent on it over its life even have all the tax discs will probably still fork out for stamp....... feckin thing
  8. my raddo is 1991 1.8 16v and has all its service stamps but not all are dealer i may add , so should i keep paying {shit loads} to have the oil changed , as reading the service schedule it would seem that this is all they do, oh and of course for a stamp in the book, when i have just changed the oil / oil filter/ air filter /power steering belt/ or should i record all the stuff i have done in the service book and count that as a service { brake fluid was done last year} also would the potential buyer of a 1991 16v thats got 180k on it even notice that its got a compleat service log or would they just go " oh its got 180k on the clock must be knackered! " and what does {{ inspection with additional operations every 30000km 20000 miles}} meen ? in a nut shell TO PAY FOR SERVICE STAMP or NOT TO PAY FOR SERVICE STAMP thats the question
  9. just look for a corrado in car park and wait for the owner to return , normaly owners will happily talk about corrados ... also normaly a bit scarey looking too so aproach with caution!
  10. nice one ! well done , and wellcome to the family
  11. cnut stick with the advice i gave you mate . its worked on my 16v i did it last sunday, and my power steering has worked correctly all week
  12. belt will be on off the shelf at halfords £ 3.20 or so an easy fix to do yourself you will need a 13mm ring spanner 13mm socket and wrench wd40 {well thats what i needed for my 1991 1.8 16v} once you have the new belt on, go for a short drive { not to far} just enough to warm up the belt . the new belt will probably stretch a bit and power steering will start to whine so then you tighten the adjusting bolt up to get tension back on the belt
  13. jump in come on ! , no matter what you check for /find/rule out / and no amount of research will hinder the fact that you will be spending loads of time under a corrado bonnet so make sure you have a garage to pull it into or worse shedding out loads of money to have it fixed by others not to mention the worry that some fecker will scratch it / dent it/ lean on the door when its open/.. i hate that! kick em in the nads if they do corrado your gonna love it
  14. thought i would fit a few lockable box's in the rear with big padlocks and staples {you know the sort} and keep windows for visability , just been on autotrader site saw a nice blue csw for 2450£ shame it has 2.5 petrol though! 18 to 23 mpg is unacceptable
  15. in the past i have had a 1998 disco then later a freelander i found that both made a good work vehicule, but this time round i'm looking for something that i won't have to worry to much about, what with "car park door bangers" and the norwich union giving out insurance to people that shouldn't be driving, {rant explained}= in under one year two N,U drivers have ran into my corrado and exepted full liability also i have three "door banger chips" on the pasenger side and a small scratch,.. feckers! anyhow i like CSW 110 and yeh your dead right about the 200tdi, its my preferred engine . CSW ticks all the boxes for me i'll be able to put my little boy in the back at weekends and when its time for work chuck a load of gear in the hold as i said i only want to spend 2k and am a few weeks off my target amount at present
  16. ill be selling mine soon as i want a landrover, look on member gallery ditchs 16v // its 1991 1.8 16v has 180k /fsh /full electrix/ all recipts from day one/ not sure yet as to how much ill sell for but wont be more than 2k
  17. 725 that a bit on the small side , that was a 28"" if i remember correct as i said i measured halford drive belts this morning
  18. CSW would also concider a SIII not going to {"LETS OFF ROAD"} so am not bothered about silly stuff bars ect just want a bit of a crate thats simple mechanically with a good chassis and bulkhead, i would put steel wheels on it myself anyhow as i have always hated alloys { rim leakers }
  19. i just changed my power steering belt this morning {1991 1.8 16v} i measured the old belt then measured drive belts at halfords , i found that hb750a fitted its 30"" , as i said i did it this morning and now power steering works correct , wet in the drivers footwell might be clutch fluid from the master cylinder if your are realy unlucky
  20. im looking for a 110 landrover , i want to spend 2k not after anything fancey just want to use it for work
  21. check the belt for cracks between the vvvvvvvv teeth . mine was knackered so i measured it then went to halfords then measured belts in stock untill i found the correct sise, dont bother with thire reference book as it was incorrect the belt that fitted my 1991 1.8 16v was hb750a 30"" drive belt , i fitted it this morning and now have power steering again
