Title: What lies beneath
Post by: tooleater on 18 November 2023, 13:09:03

Hi guys, Mot looming at end off month on the old 3.2 Elite barge. I've booked it in for Mot next Saturday locally. There is no way its gonna pass, it needs welding, this is to find out what does need doing. I've removed the rear sill end caps exposing the tin worm that I can see. What is the best method to remove the Sill Covers, I take it those plastic securing fittings are a one time affair, do i have to drill them out, pop them or break them  :-[
I dont want to be faffing around ordering online standard replacement rear springs to lift the the motor off its arse as its on the original now defunct rear suspension. Could someone recommend a motor factor where can buy over the counter
Cheers

The sill covers slide along their fittings, so should come off easily.


If you think finding rear springs online is faffing about, you'll hate trying to find somewhere to get them over the counter. Paying for them that way will be even more painful.

I bought all four springs for my estate from Germany for about the same price as one rear spring from a British supplier. Not that any of them had stock available.
