Quite happy to walk around in bare feet, though thongs are best on paved surfaces as they get seriously hot in the sun in Summer, my feet are tough and used to walking in bare feet, I don't worry about the critters they don't eat much!

I for one don't know.......have you checked the specifications section of the workshop manual? Maybe the enlightenment you seek is buried in there or check Rimmers catalog they may have the info listed with part numbers.

The difference is very simple. To position the sounder behind the driver's head, the wire needs to be longer for a LHD car. Otherwise, it's the same.Bruce could you outline the difference between a RHD kit & a LHD kit please?

Complications arise for those with the Steptronic/Stepspeed gearboxes as the 12V supply has to be picked up elsewhere.
I allude to all this in the eBay listing and ask that buyers let me know if they have either of these variants. They never do...

Surely you’ll be wearing thongs & not walkabout footwear. Goodness knows what you might stand on or what arachnid or reptilian nightmare might take a fancy to a toe or two, with various poisonous delights you have over there, I’d be considering chain mail.
An addition to the tweeter topic & the wiring; the simplest way to wire a tweeter to a system is to use a capacitor. This device allows high frequencies to pass, attenuating the base. A better way would be to use a proper crossover, this is a network of capacitors, resistors & inductors. None of these complexities need worry you if you pop on ebay & for about eight quid you can buy a pair of reasonable looking units. The ones I’ve seen have terminal blocks, so there’s no need to solder.
Alternatively a single capacitor of about 4u7 50v will be fine.

I had half a tank of unusable diesel (don't ask how).
Living on the outskirts of London, finding a farm was not very easy but the farmer was happy that I emptied it over his (unlit) bonfire.

Hi Len.
I have some protex hood cleaner and waterproofing left over from a recent job.
There's plenty of the cleaner left and enough waterproofing for a coat if you want it.

It took me ages to get those chapter rings located properly & clearing the needles, particularly the water temperature. There was a lot of fitting, reassembly, stripping & starting again, to the point that having got it working properly I was taking the bloody thing to pieces again before it sunk in that it was working.
So removing the cover isn’t a problem unless you use a shovel.

Does anyone have available the irrefutable diameters of the front anti roll bars please?
I gather that the softer comfort springs demanded an increase in diameter for the front anti roll bar but from what to what?
What I need to find out is what has been fitted to my car. It could be standard for year (2002/3)
If I measure the OD including the protective coating (probably a PU coating) I get 20mm.
I believe the really thick one was 25mm. But what was the diameter of the bar fitted to the car as it left the factory with standard springs?
Can anyone help with that please?

It could be considerably worse, you might have heard Agga Doo (is that correct?) or Black Betty on the wireless. I had to look earworm songs up, I am NO expert.
Now that would really screw your day up.
I’m off to pick up a pair of rear light clusters l won on eBay. I was the only bidder & thus got them at the starting price.
I feel bad about it but it is an auction.
99p as you ask!

Clip the liners down and turn the engine over a few times after removing that crap, just to see how things are
you've nothing to lose.
