Hi all, Was hoping the forum could potentially point me in the right direction regarding an issue we've been having with our 214 ('92), and a slight smell of fuel. It's not there all the time (if the car isn't used for a few days in the garage, there's no obvious smell/build up of the smell) it's pr...

I think it must be a bit hit and miss - my current xpart set have done about 40000 miles since I last changed them Mine have probably only done about 600 miles... I had considered getting the Xpart ones, but unsure if it'll just leave me in the same situation in two years time... But if that's cons...

Hi both, many thanks for the replies! I'd been digging through past issues of the Viking and had come across the polyurethane bushes being available. I like the sound of the lifetime warranty they offer, but the only thing putting me off - aside from the fact it may make the ride a bit harder (altho...

Hi all, It's MOT season again so I've been doing a few pre-test checks, only to find that the rear bush in the trailing arm - which I'd only replaced in 2022, has somehow already become debonded, with a large gap beneath it when the car is jacked up. The originals lasted nigh on 30 years, the replac...

Thanks for the replies all - they're both much cheaper! I'll get one ordered!

Hi all, A few weeks ago I noticed my 214 acting up a bit - seeming to really rev up when I put the clutch down (and taking a while to come back down), and idling around 1,500 revs. A quick peek under the bonnet revealed that ]what Rimmer describe ( https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-PHP10045 ) as being ...

Hi all, Just wanted to say many thanks for all the help! The legacy EPC was right - what I needed were the DTC10002MNEs, which are a pretty good fit. The DTC10032MNEs were just a little bit too big and wouldn't quite pop in, so I'm guessing they're probably for the next size up. Turns out the DTC100...

Many thanks for the replies guys, that helps a lot. I actually did the same and bought some DTC1002MNE centres as they were so cheap on Rimmer, and they appear to fit, but I wasn't sure if they're actually fitting properly. They don't seem to sit 100% flush, which is why I thought I'd check with the...

A few years ago, I picked up some brand new official alloys for my 200 (K reg), and I've only just got round to fitting them. The problem is, I now need to get some centre caps, but I have no idea which ones I need! On the Rimmer Bros site, I have the alloys labelled as no. 11, but they list two dif...
