    How long should body repairs / filler last?

    I didnt tell the bodyshop to do it cheap, I told them to do what ever needed to be done. I also told them I wanted it to be as good as possible. The door had filler in it before and it never cracked in the 10years I've owned it.

    How long should body repairs / filler last?

    I don't have any pictures of the door before it was filled. I only have 1 photo of 1 of the cracks, think there was about 3 maybe 4 cracks in total but they were difficult to photo. That crack was about 4-5 inches long

    How long should body repairs / filler last?

    I had a door repaired around April this year, it needed a bit of filler work then a spray over. The door had 2 cracks in the body filler so the bodyshop said they would need to dig out the old filler with a grinder then redo the filler work. I agreed to the work needed and collected the door a...

    Dormobile Seat Parts ????

    I think the big L plate is part of the pop top, you should have 2. They go at the base of the lifting arm / spring. One L plate for each lifting arm. Hope that makes sense

    Flywheel has come loose..... why?

    I think it is a CB 38mm, that probably explains why it came loose. Is there anywhere in the UK that sells the Berg HD gland nut and washer? Thanks

    Flywheel has come loose..... why?

    Thank you for your reply. I used loctite, I can't remember what the thread looked like on the crank as it was a few years ago now. The nut was new, I think it was either cb performance or scat. I haven't used it much, I've done no more then 500 miles.

I also fitted a heavy duty seal. Recently I've had some running...

    Engine knocking noise?

    Thanks for all the advice so far. I've taken the fan belt off and ran it for a short time and the noise is still there. I will check the valve clearances over the weekend, I'll also find out some hose and try the method suggested by ozziedog. I've quickly taken a video of the engine running but...

    Engine knocking noise?

    Yeah, I had csp bolt on rockers then changed them to standard rockers covers as I thought the csp rockers may be knocking as there wasn't much space above them. I made sure the rocker shaft nuts were tightened to the correct torque.
