  1. The hue of the road markers on the built-in sat nav varies on the route you choose. For instance, what are the other colours for besides "blue" and "green"? Shortest person is brown? It's been so long since I last used it that I've forgotten how. Not able to take it. There are too many horror stories of surprise tours gone awry, and although I like Apple Maps and its real-time traffic reports, I have to say, "one man's meat...."
  2. I went ahead and completed it, and it really isn't that difficult. To begin, pull up the plastic covers on both handles with a little screwdriver so that you may remove them. If what I'm trying to say makes any sense, the section of the handle that breaks off is the one that is practically horizontal when the tailboard is open. After removing those four bolts, the plastic bottom piece may be removed. You are going to need to disconnect the light and switch connections. Unplugging the switch would be the first thing I'd do since I once hit it by mistake, which led to a whole lot of chaos. After the lower piece of plastic has been removed, the carpet portion is only secured in place by a few clips; to remove it, you must pull it downwards. The strip of plastic that covers the area where the rear wiper gubbins are located also serves as part of the same piece as the plastic piece that is located on the other side of the carpet section. The final remaining piece of plastic located adjacent to the glass comes up next. There is a certain sequence of events that you are required to go through. To begin, push inwards towards the middle of the window, which is located at the base of the vertical part. I was required to give it a thump or two. Start at the very end, just near to where the gas strut attaches to the back of the tailboard. There is one push clip located there at the bottom, as well as one located higher down closer to where it curves around to the top of the glass. After you have completed the previous step on the other side, you will see that the remaining clips are located at the top of the window. You are able to draw them towards you. It is essential that you reassemble this component in the exact same sequence as before, else you risk damaging the clips. When you take it off, you'll be able to see clearly. On mine, I discovered that the final plastic piece, which is in the form of a U and shook when moved, so I appliese.I discovered that the final plastic piece that is in the form of a U was a little loose on mine, and it rattled, so I put some thin cushioning tape (really number plate tape) where the clips slide in to take up whatever slack there may have been. It is not difficult to accomplish; however, before attempting to remove the clips at the top of the window, you must ensure that the sides of the last piece of plastic have been uncoiled first. And keep an eye on the switch for the trunk; I accidentally opened it twice. I hope that was helpful.
  3. The tailgate's light grey trim on the driver's side is another likely rattling cause. (Refer to picture below) There is some slack on this side. Is there a way to get rid of it though? I take suppose it simply keeps trucking along with some kind of retail sprockets?
  4. Motorsport Events hosts a number of enjoyable airfield days. Day trips to Llandow, Pembrey, and Mallory are also available. Andy
  5. My previous bushes were worn and squishy, so I replaced them with RallyDesign polybushes, and the result was much firmer rear suspension.My previous bushes were worn and squishy, so I replaced them with RallyDesign polybushes, and the result was much firmer rear suspension.
  6. Goodyear Asymetric 6 is my preferred option. I have used Rainsport 5 on a BMW 1 series and was not particularly impressed. They are effective at evacuating stagnant water, but their actual traction is unremarkable, and their flexible sidewalls make their handling a bit uncertain. Falkens are acceptable if you wish to purchase a comparable-priced alternative to Uniroyals.
  7. The bumper has a width of 4 feet and 5 inches and a depth of 3 inches, making it rather thin. It also has a few rusty places. They demand £540 inclusive of vat for the two overriders, which is a sum that seems to be pretty steep. Despite the fact that it is the very first quotation I have ever had, I shall examine it further.
  8. I just received a quotation from Niphos in Crewe for a job that would take six weeks and cost £350 for a whopping £50 per overrider.
  9. Many thanks to Code I can confirm that customers have positive things to say about that business; I will write them an email. In addition to this, they were somewhat pricey. When I had anything done the previous time, it was two bumpers and overriders, as well as four hubcaps and two headlights. I don't have much of an idea about it. £135 for the whole bunch!!! Long long ago !!
  10. Thanks Dream I've seen them on the Internet, but we haven't talked yet. I'll keep that in mind and see if anyone else has any ideas.
  11. Hello Can anybody suggest a reputable company that specialises in rechroming? On a 1946 Austin, I need the bumpers and overriders chromed. I'm prepared to go up to 50 miles from my home in Manchester. Thanks a lot
  12. South West Auto Trimmers in Calne, Wiltshire, just fixed two Riley car seats for me. A little bit of time travel happened, but other than that, it was good value and kept its flavour. It's important to be clear about what you want to do.
