Putting the front subframe back in my 850 I smashed my drivers headlamp with the crane leg doh ! :roll: So thought it was about time I sort out the horrible wiring to the bulbs that seems to be an issue on these cars as they get older. Thought I did everything correctly but have obviously made a mis...

if you can afford it replace the metal upper part at the same time , as its easier to do it all at one and they are only cheap!

The car feels very floaty, and whenever I go over even a minor bump, there are audible clicks and clacks. My question is this: What set should I get? Or even further, what parts should I get? This sounds VERY much like bad control arms. I only buy Lemforder when replacing control arms. JRL is right...

thanks neil.

wonder what the difference is as they look the same .....
dont know if i should change it or not as its not leaking but very easy to change now that the subframe is out .....

Thanks Mark.

Hmmm silence ...

Its 95% undone , so seeing as ive got to take it out i thought i would replace t...

So have I got the disconnect the steering rack and drop the subframe to do this ?

The ipd photos dont have this bracket in the pics ..... The anti roll bar is sa...

Putting a new anti roll bar on the 850 as the vulcanised bushes on the bar are shot , taken the rear subframe mounts off and dropped the front by 4 turns each .undone all 4 of the bolts that hold the bar to the subframe so it's now loose in the car . Issue is this piece of metal that seems to be att...

we dont have any scrap yards over here that keep older cars in stock i mended the wires to the thermostat and played around with it all last year so i know its getting power. when i took the base cover off there was a big burn mark , obviously the cause of the problem. ill have a go at soldering som...

So whilst the 850 is off the road having a back end rebuild i thought i would tackle having no heated seats !
Stripped the seat and found a burnt wire on the element , how do people go about fuxing this as the wires are really thin !
In anticipation of a warm bum in the winter (mark)
