    Wide 5 wheel hub clip problem

    No definitely the axle protrusion being too much. Put the hubs from the front on the rear still won’t fit and u can see where the nut of the axle is hitting the inside of the hubs and marking it. Only about 5mm that’s causing the issue stopping them from slipping over the clip. Clips are fine as...

    Wide 5 wheel hub clip problem

    Looks the exact same as mine. Do your hubcaps fit or do you need spacers fitted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wide 5 wheel hub clip problem

    I think they are reproductions but are good quality from what I can tell, with the new clips on they fit very tight on the fronts so hopefully the chances of one coming off is reduced with this. If I had not have changed the clips would have been a different story. From some research I believe I...

However, few drill issues when removing the old rivets, used 4.5mm it broke, 5mm didn’t last too long either so I stupidly...

    No Brake Lights

    On the brake light issue, my left hand rear light puts the indicator bulb & brake on when I press the brake pedal. Does any one have any advice on why this would be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brake pedal travel increased when driving

    There is free play. Topped up the fluid, was down about half way. Seems to be ok now, not as stiff as was a few weeks ago but no longer foot to the floor either. Checked the wheels after a drive and no heat. Will let the mechanic have a look at the drums in next few weeks also just to be sure...

    Cab door window scrapers

    Do you have a link to the parts I need? I can find the inner scrapers easy enough on JK or eBay but the outer ones don’t appear as easily available. All I can see is them plus the chrome trim? Can you not purchase the outer scraper alone? If you have any links to the parts I need would be great...
