Wanted things

Post by saintjamesy89 »

I'm after a few bits for the TXD chaps.

TZ style wheel trims, not cracked, and with no splits in the edges, paint condition doesn't have to be good as i'll be painting them anyway.
Sump gasket for a turbo.
Clip for rear light cluster, the left hand one had the bottom securing clip with no silver bit that does the clipping. If y'know what I mean!
Underbody bungs, I need 6 I think, a few wheel arch ones, and the rest for the footwells.
Drivers side rear light cluster, blue/grey tint (could swap for a red tinted one?)
Still after a steel wheel, with no tyre preferred.

Are the door rubbing strip still available? The ones on this car have all the imitation chrome plastic stuff peeling off of the top. I'd want a full set.

Thanks :)

One steel wheel and a pair of matching rear lights sourced, courtesy of Graeme (Rabbercelt). Went to eurocarparts for the sump gasket, £7.92 with my staff discount still! Still looking for:

Arch/sill bungs, need several of these, the holes have already started rusting around the edges.
Boot floor bung (has hole in from towbar electrics)

I'm sure I recall talking about very cheap Citroen calipers, where do I find these? The front drivers one is going to need replacing quite soon. The handbrake doesn't work on it, and it looks like this from behind. The metal looks like it gets hot too, exhaust manifolds get that powdery rusty colour, although the tyre/trim doesn't feel hot after driving.

That disc is in bad condition and needs replacement, probably an MOT fail too. Maybe with a new disc & pads the caliper would be alright after bleeding? You can clean out the gunge from the handbrake adjuster, regrease and that could well be alright too.

There is a spring holding the handbrake adjuster back, so looks like there have been problems in the past and a bodge has been done. I'm sure Sandre and Tim mentioned at some point you could get new calipers for £30 or so?

Also wanted, nuts/fixings that hold the boot side panels to the metal behind, a full set - I have none in my boot!

I've had worse looking discs (rear one's), i resorted to taking them off & using a hammer to get all the rust off so that it had a uniform surface, took ages but i didn't have any discs in stock at the time, lasted about 3mths before it broke up whilst driving, i wondered what that thumping sound was everytime i pressed the brake pedal, oops :(

That tends to confirm it is gunged up in the adjuster chamber so a degunge and regrease would rejuvenate it.

Are the rubber gaitors on the pistons in good condition?
