Pm'd you 

PM-d again

Pm'd you 

All indicators and lights work fine. When vehicle is stationary and you indicate, it dies and when your moving and indicate, it dies. It won't start straight away. Have to leave it only 20secs and it will start again. Then to make it even more strange it sometimes is absolutely fine when you indicate! Weird!

Hi all

Strange I know but when I indicate when driving buggy just completely dies! I know the obvious thing is to go through the wiring but can't understand why it would affect the engine?? Anyone had anything similar??

Cheers mate. Just wanted to be sure before I started having my new seats about! 

Just trying to put runners on the new low back seats and looks like you need to take the bottom cushion off and drill new fixing holes through the bottom of the seat to mount the seat runners onto the bottom. Is this right? Anyone else built this combo? 

To be honest i havent tried anything yet. Scared of putting something on the tyre that wmight eat into it! Cheers

Cheers Dave il give it a go! Can you suggest a tool? Eg scouring pad? Dish cloth?

Hi all

So bought new tyres for the buggy from north Hants and its come with some sort of blue coating over it.
Few questions:
1) what the hell is it and what is it doing?
2) and two, how do you get it of without damaging the tyre. Reason I bought the tyre was for the white lettering!

Pic as below




Many thanks

Hi david

Them bolts were just the thing i was after!

Next problem... What thread is the nut on the left. These come with the adaptors but need some chrome nuts for them! Thanks again in advance

Thanks chaps!

David where do i get them from that pic looks exactly the thing!

Evening all,

Some of you may have seen this on face ache last night..

The front drums on my buggy are wide 5 and new wheels im about to put on are 4x130. I have the adaptors as per pic attached. The wheel bolts (as per other pic attached) I have been told are not the correct ones to use. could someone shed some light on what bolts i need. I guess they will need cutting down as they will foul the brake shoes? Am i going about this the right way?

Is there any end float on it?
