I am in so much trouble.
This is "my wifes" conservatory, well, the utility end. 3 workmates, 1 anti roll bar, 2 braces and 6 "Washers" all being painted. No chance of getting to the washing machine or tumble dryer macafee2 |

I have a similar problem with my 75. Where can I buy the 'red' clips? I was going to try Artic's screw solution. Regards David |

Managed to find some of those genuine undertray self locking screws (the ones made from unobtanium) on ebay (tried the shiny ones but didn't like them). Made some washers from an old inner tube and they now fit better than the originals (they probably don't but it feels that way when you succeed!).

You can leave the battery connected, as you will be separating the plugs from the main harness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good afternoon, DRWMGTF,

I bought mine from this ebay trader: Very positive and reliable, both the trader and the clips. They come in packets of 10No. I inadvertently bought two packets, so I will send you a couple if you PM me. Derek |

Not the most riveting pictures attached David .... but you did ask! 1... the infra red thermometer I used to check the temperature of the ATF (for info I aimed it at the bottom of the solenoid cover plate to monitor the raising temperature of the fluid) 2 ... one of the nice new rear droplinks in position 3 ... rear wheel, arch and a bit of the exhaust back box I had cleaned up. 4 ... a close up of the (19 year old, original) back box after attacking it with the 0000 wire wool and Auto Sol stuff. 5 ... one of the exhaust hangars I took off, and one of the eBay purchase replacement type. The black one lasted me about 18 months, the blue style one seems much more robust. A passer by thought I was crazy taking the exhaust box picture! Regards all, and keep safe John

I think I've got a couple of spares of these in the garage I can send out too (if the free gifts from other donors run out) Cheers! John
