Get in contact with the Series 2 Club.  If it is indeed a very early vehicle, then there's likely someone there who'll want to get their hands on it.

By the way, are you sure the garage wasn't trying to rip you off?  Some garages do like to take advantage of women, largely because they often don't know or understand a lot about a vehicle.

By the way, if it only does 45mph, are you running in low ratio?  It's been done before.  :lol:

I'd come over and give a hand to if you're providing bacon butties and coffee, yum, yum.

The other thing is to check with Douglass Motors in Wolston, they are honest and helpful and keen off roaders.

Price up the parts and we'll see what we can organise...

One condition.... you MUST join in and learn!  :lol:

That would be really good!

I don't think he really was trying to rip me off cuz we use the garage for our other cars and he has always been reasonable.He said it was about 50/50 parts and labour which still means the parts are about £300. Although he said the most expensive thing was the swivel ball things and they are about £50 each at AMD which isn't THAT bad i don't think. I will have to get an exact list of what it needs and you can decide if its too much work!!!! Some of it is silly things like the brake lights aren't red enough anymore and the secret box under the passenger seat is rotten and is within 30cm of the seatbelt!!!

Thank you very much for the offers of help though - they are much appreciated and if it all goes ahead there will be plenty of bacon butties (or 'cobs' if you're hinckley)!!!!

In fact Vikki, you may like to join OLLR's forums.  OLLR website.

Anyway.  If the swivels are leaking then for a short term fix you could try using some One Shot Grease.  If you don't know what the swivels are, then they're those large chrome balls on the ends of the front axle.

The £620 quotation is probably mostly just for the labour.  These vehicles don't normally cost a lot in parts unless it's substantial, like a complete chassis for example.

EDIT:  Okay.  I see you have posted while I was typing this particular post.  Provide us the list of what needs replacement or repairs, or better yet go over to OLLR. ;)
