If I lived closer I would be there, but 4 hours is a bit to far

Good luck all

I'd love to come and make a nuisance of myself. Unfortunately current fuel costs prohibit my attending. If anybody fancies buying me half a tank of petrol for my birthday on the 2nd?

Have a great day.

Hi Mick,

If it made it any easier if you got upto mine or somewhere near, you could come up with me?

Best,

Jake

Thank you Jake, that's a very kind offer. I'll take you up on that, providing nothing else gets in the way.

Would it be possible to have my rear springs replaced?

Cheers

Mike

takestock · Posted 29 Aug 2011, 19:47 #12

Rear springs are around an hour aside, unfortunately I'm full for the day. i can advise you if you want to get stuck in, only two or three bolts a side once the wheel is off. there may be others who can help

have you got the springs?

Bermudan 75 · Posted 29 Aug 2011, 19:51 #13

I hope to have them later this week, I need the car for work. Using public transport is taking 3-4 hours.

Bermudan 75 · Posted 01 Sep 2011, 22:50 #14

Ordered the springs today and will collect them tomorrow.

Hope to be there midday.

Cheers

Mike

Nice to see everybody again today, no pictures i'm afraid, never stopped all day

kandyman · Posted 03 Sep 2011, 20:21 #16

Glad to hear you did some work Dave

What sort of work was carried out over the day ?

Bermudan 75 · Posted 03 Sep 2011, 20:26 #17

Unfortunately I arrived too late to replace my rear springs, but there was a good turnout. Shame the 'Belly Buster' cafe was closed.

I was involved with a couple of Fan Resistor changes, an annoying drivers door lock fitted by a garage that had conveniently forgotten to put the bar back in that connects the key barrel to the actual lock, just a lock out waiting to happen when the battery failed.

couple of door handle faults. Then BigRuss, Tim and i spent most of the remaining time retro fitting electric rear windows in BeeJays car, full BCU (Body Control Unit) recode, new harnesses and motor assys to both rear doors.

saw a few other things going on in the garage lower arms ans such like

Never had time to assess any VIS (Variable Intake System) motors.

Oh Tatts took be for a quick blast in his new merc, blast being the operative word. superb...
