Size is 6 5" or 17cm. Unsure of the stock specifics but I bought some PIONEER TS-R1750S 6.5" 17CM 3 WAY 250 WATT COAXIAL CAR SPEAKERS from Halfords the other day for £40. Much clearer than the stock ones and mounted right where the stock ones were removed. These were wired into the original headunit too so Im sure you could get them clearer with an aftermarket headunit.
Evening. Please accept my apologies for not replying! Very busy few months with a new job and new addition to the family!
The Expert is currently out of action so the wheels may be of use to someone else for the time being. I dont forsee her being put back on the road in the next few months as the injectors have packed in and she is running like a bag of nails.
Again, I am sorry for the huge delay but I have just been swamped.
They look great. Just after a set as Im sure some of mine are buckled with the state of the roads! But If you are happy to hold them until the end of lockdown I will gladly collect them. How much sorry?
Hi kenbw2. How much would you like for them? Would love to take them off your hands. Obviously reserving them for now unil the end of lockdown. Am able to collect from preston too. Assuming they are in decent nick (look so in your photos) and are all balanced?
Exactly what I thought. Yes I am assuming it is corrosion. With my van too, It had been sat for quite a while prior to purchase and the hinges have been stiff since so could be a contributing factor.
Tried again with the soaking in breakfree overnight then 10 mins with the spanner and since the heat treatment its ridiculously stiff!
Same problem I am having. The 4 people I have contacted on ebay have said the hinges are stiff (common issue I am told). The rest are either shut or don't have any!
The hinges are sealed units. I removed and tried dissembling (with a drill and chisel) both hinges and couldnt get them apart. In regards to alignment, there is minimal movement where the hinge bolts to the body. Once off, i soaked them in breakfree, heated them up and sprayed WD40 but even clamped in a vice and moving them with a foot long spanner they only just budge with a lot of force. Im assuming its all the crap off the road over the years. The offside hinges are perfect though!
Hi.
Hoping someone has some nearside rear door, upper and lower hinges available. Silver would be brilliant but Iv lost all hope trying to find some so any colour will do. The ones currently on are so stiff. When opening the nearside door you can see the body panel flex where the hinges are bolted too and its a bit of a struggle to open the door. So, If you have hinges that are free moving with no resistance, Id appreciate it if I could buy them. Will require postage during the current climate! Thanks.
Glad I could help.
Forgot to mention too. Try running with your MAF sensor unplugged. Mine ran smoothly indicating a faulty MAF. Sorry I missed this bit out!
I recently had the exact same symptoms with my 2.0hdi Expert. Drove normaly then under hard acceleration it surged and was really noticeable! For me, it was a faulty MAF. Determined this by cleaning the old one and the surging minimised but was still present. I bought a used OEM one from ebay for £10. Took 5 mins to fit and now there is no surging at all and she accelerates smoothly again.
Hi Vas.
Thanks for the reply. Yes you are correct. It's the weighted arm thing. Its not the actual bracket that mounts to the gearbox that is vibrating / rattling but the arm itself upon its pivot. So its secure to the gearbox, just the moving parts have play. It does seem to be a damper of some sort or a weight as you said to allow easier or smoother changing. I might have a look when this rain passes (If it ever does) and look at removing the air box and maybe the coolant pipe but I would ideally like to leave that in place.
Thanks again.
Hello. I have spent some time on here and the information available is brilliant! I recently purchased a 56 plate Expert 2.0HDI with 137,000 on the clock. Initially it was for transporting my bike but I now use it as a daily driver! Anyhow, like all, it has its problems. My gear selector mechanism located just to the left of the air filter box has what I see as an excessive amount of play and is quite loose. I have a large rattle from the nearside area when turning, on a bumpy road or if the RPM drops below a certain point (Indicating I need to change down). After rattling the mechanism by hand today and realizing the amount of play in it, I am pretty sure this is my culprit. My question is, can this be shimmed to take up excessive play or is it an easy swap out (seen a few second hand on ebay). Just to clarify, the selector is the gearbox end where the cables clip onto (Cables and buses all seem fine) but its the actual selector that seems to be my issue. No problems shifting, just a slightly floppy stick! Thanks.
Apologies. I cannot suss how to post an image!
