I'd be interested in 4 off 7x15, with ET35 offset please. Edited by - mark.hall on 24 Jul 2001 15:22:51

I didn't think Mike the Pipe worked with stainless.........

Many thanks Richard, e-mail on the way to Geoff

Chaters in Isleworth, West London, have them in stock, and I'm sure they do mail order.

I am in desperate need of the above named trailer. I don't need any "extras" like a winch or long ramps etc, but I do really really need one soon. Cash waiting.......... Oh yeah, no shuttles or anything longer than 16 feet, for those of you helpful folk who are about to offer alternatives. The Minno is the only thing that will fit in my garage. Thanks in advance.

Chris Tell me more. I'm on the verge of committing to a similar 'box (alloy case, BGH internals), and now.............well you can imagine............

When setting rivnuts, I always use a dab of Araldite or chemical metal. I haven't had one come loose yet, and the oldest ones are getting on for 11 years service. Do get them straight though!!

Bless 'em, it's the only chance they get to worry us, unless you worry about how far behind they've fallen.......teeth.gif

I would concur with Andrew. I've used stick on plates for about 4 years with never so much as a second glance from plod or MOT inspector. If you are anywhere near Devon or Cornwall, then place called Trago Mills (a large "sell everything cheap" emporium for west country folk) sell the blanks for under 2 quid, and letters at 10p each IIRC. I recently bought three sets of replacement "parts" for my car, so I can now jet wash with inpunity. Mind you, I haven't lost one yet, and don't look likely to, it's just that a thread on here recently suggested that they might become illegal to use or sell in the near future, and, like a good boy scout, I want to be prepared.

Yep....1.0 Daihatsu. Also look out for Daihatsu/Bedford Mini (as in Tonka Toy) vans, and, unless my eyes were deceiving me (always likely), new shape Rover 214's, badged as Magnetti Morelli. Also look at Jeep Cherokees, as I suggested earlier up the page........

The Cambridge Motorsport item, to my untrained eye, is identical in every respect to a Nippon Denso oe supplied Daihatsu "one wire" alternator. Your local motor factor should be able to supply one for about half what CM want, or do what I did, and buy a scrap one at a breakers and get it reconned. DT supply various pulleys, and a "universal" mount, no doubt for a price..........

The standard Daihatsu alternator is rated at 45/50 amps. Demon Tweeks do an uprated version, and although slightly larger at 118mm (over the 93mm standard Daihatsu item) puts out 150 amps. Mind you, they want 345 quid + vat for it........... I'm sure the high output one is the same as the one in a 4 litre Jeep Cherokee, but I haven't had a chance to measure and spec one yet. It's on the list of things to do, and seeing as there is some interest, I might bring the research forward, so to speak. As for the smaller, standard Daihatsu one being expensive, I got one from a scrappy for a tenner, and paid my local recon place 60 quid for a...er...recon. Not that much IMHO.

A perrennial problem, it would seem. You might like to try Dave Andrews approach an fit an adjustable pressure regulator. Either an after market one, or the "home-made" version on his web-site here and follow the links.

There was a thread recently that had a posting or two remarking that an otherwise standard 1.6SS (I think!!!) had the MEMS unit swapped for an Emerald M3DK, and showed an increase of 10 to 12 bhp, IIRC. This was at the (not so) recent Emerald rolling road day, so the tests were close together, and under the same conditions except for the ecu swap. Mind you, my memory isn't what it should be, so try a search on the archive from the link at the top of the page. The answers are all on here..............somewhere............

I used to use Mobil 1, but the price is getting ridiculous, so as I'm about to do another oil change, I'm looking around for an alternative. I would think something like a 5W for solids.

15W 50 is what I use in my hydraulic lifter Vx.

VERY carefully, I would think..........

While you're in there, and apologies if all the following is blindingly obvious, but set your multi-tester to check resistance rather than voltage/continuity. It may reveal a high resistance circuit somewhere. If you get no joy, switch back to voltage, and, starting with the battery, the next check would be to see if the first part of the kill switch has voltage, then cross to the other side once you have turned it on, and see if power flows across the switch. If so, move on to the starter motor live, and so on. If power stops immediately after the battery, ie, with the live probe of your multi-tester on the kill switch and the neg one earthed, I would suspect the battery. It could show 12 volts, but it may have no current supplying capacity. I had this recently on my road car. 12 volts at the terminals, but not enough juice to open the central locking. I had to enter and exit via the tailgate!!!!!!!!!! I hope this helps.

try here and follow the links.......

While fiddling with my Motorbike this morning, I happened to notice that the rear brake master cylinder reservoir is tiny . In fact tiny enough that it may not supply enough fluid, and therefore be useless!!!!! However, my point is that many modern motorcycles use small master cylinder reservoir's, so this may be worth a little thought.

John B I actually wouldn't reccommend any of them, 'cos they all have their little quirks. If you are anywhere near London, then e-mail me off list, as I have several contacts in the business. If not, then my current favourites are TNT Worldwide, Fed Ex, and if it's small enough, the Post Office, but the Post Office ain't quick..................

DON'T use UPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
