Changed the strut top mounts, ARB bushes and links on the daily VWT5 van. It should have been a weekend job, but the inner driveshaft popped out, and I needed help from another (younger/stronger) pair of hands to realign it.  Hopefully a lot of the knocks and bangs will be sorted now and I can put it up for sale. :y

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Re: CCR2006 and MV6 springs
« on: 25 February 2022, 14:34:27 »
Looking for around £120 for the CCR2006 and £235 for the MV6 springs (UK postage included)

Bear with me - I'm working on another car this week and it's trying to get away from me
Did the springs sell?

Does anyone have an Omega Elite self levelling air pump in good working condition? Thanks.

This needs moving to car parts or people might not see it.

Oops sorry, my mistake, I will repost there.  Thanks for pointing it out.

General Car Chat / Re: How much is a 3.7 LSD worth??
« on: 25 February 2022, 12:59:28 »
To the right person, it could be worth more than anyone on here is likely to offer you :y.  I have 2 x 3.9s all rebuilt and waiting to go in cars, but a 3.7 would be nice too....

  I do know of a very very good one for sale down here in Essex
Would that be Chris's that's in the ABS mag this month? It is lovely, and a nice colour too.
Bargain considering the work it has had. Has it been converted to manual?

Had the dents knocked out of the black car by DragonsDents in Daventry.  I wish I'd taken a picture before, but the results are nothing short of wizardry.  I just need to avoid all the fallen trees and branches that are all over the road now ::)

I used to go to the Mannhiem auctions when i was younger. Never bought anything mind you, just went for the entertainment. Bought a Carlton at the Ely one though. Big mistake.  :-[
Classic car auctions are like paying for a theatre ticket, it's all entertainment until you get carried away...I was lucky to get away with my little dabble.

Discovered that Doctor G was right  ::), Bilstein B8s are too stiff for modern country roads, what's left of them...should be fun on the track though. :y

As the wind was low, and the sky looked clear, seemed rude not to send one of the drones up at sunrise this morning...

Nice drone work, and I know the area well from school walks many years ago. 
Do you happen to know anywhere that can fix my son's drone, which he unfortunately backed into a tree top in sport mode last year? :'(
It's the DJI Mavic Mini, and only needs a couple of the arms replaced, but nowhere seems to want to sell spares, or offer repairs.
You will really struggle to find spares for DIY repairs.  Occasionally, parts from crashed ones come up on ebay, but they might not be any better than what you have.

DJI run a repair service, as do some UK based retailers like Heliguy.  Whether or not its worth it on an old, limited aircraft like a Mavic Mini 1 is another matter.


My Mini 1 only gets charged up now for people "who want a go", as I don't really care if they hit a tree.


Must have been unlucky to break it. Of the few crashes I've had with DJI ones, the only damage is my lounge doorframe, from when I was being a bit too cocky and flying it around the house - I'd made it upstairs and back down, and it was the last door before I was going to land. I missed.
Thanks, that was about what I thought, and is typical of the throwaway tech society nowadays I suppose. Similar story with old GoPro stuff...I'd have a go at getting new arms 3d printed using carbon reinforced plastic, but would take time modelling the parts that I don't have atm. He was unlucky that it was in sport mode when he went back instead of forward, easy mistake when you've rotated 180deg during flight.  It brings to mind the other advice I heard regarding larger rotary aircraft, which was that you really need to buy 2 aircraft, because one is almost always being serviced, inspected or repaired...
BTW, HS2 is starting to move forward again around here, that is until they unearthed a roman dual carriageway near Chipping Warden apparently! Maybe the Roman coins they discovered will help pay for it...
