But seriously it seems like the nut/washer has pushed the cross member in. Ok so it looks like I've got to take further afield. Any recommend...

Re: Torsion Bar replacement

Not sorted any new torsion bars was hoping that someone might have known where to get them from.

Re: Torsion Bar replacement

The difference in height is 3cm with 18cm on drivers side and 15cm on passenger side which has the problem. I was advised by a member to change both sides as I was going to try and put new on.

Torsion Bar replacement

I am not very mechanical minded so have found a local garage in West Midlands I am in Lichfield to have a look at. They have given me a pr...

Garage South - Staff Midlands

Hi I have been suffering with judder from the gear box in first and reverse for the last 12 months and finally feel the need to get it sorted as it is a bit embarrassing crossing a show ground at 5 mph while the car is juddering. Unfortunately I am not in a position to sort this myself as I believe ...

tyre sizes

Hi hope someone can give me some advice.
I have just bought some 14 x 5.5 wheels I have telescopic shocks and discs fitted at front. I am after getting some good size rubber on my wheels, and was wandering what the biggest tyres I can fit, was hoping for 185 x 70 would this be possible.
