If you are bringing stuff to sell/swap does this require booking?

Re: 356 door seals

Quick update on the drivers side installation; Having gone all around the channel with the off cut and chalk marked the areas where it was really difficult to get the square bit pushed in I decided there was less potential for a damaging cock up to sand the rubber as opposed to the paint. I got a st...

Re: 356 door seals

Mine are in 2 parts as you describe and, as Mike says, it takes time, far more than you would think. I'm still working on the drivers side, it just won't sit properly in the channel all the way around so I'm using an off cut to find the where it is not seating properly and then I'll maybe shave a bi...

Re: 356 door seals

Hello, I have also been doing these and was lucky enough to have some superb advice from a brilliant upholsterer. We don't have tabs on our car but my method was to have a few dry runs trying out the best method to get it installed, ensuring the seal was seated properly and the door would close. I f...

Re: 356B (T5) Help

From the first time I used PRS in Essex I found them to be simply superb, and they have continued to be so, in fact they are doing a gearbox rebuild for me as we speak. Although I have never used anyone else, and it's not exactly geographically suitable, it's a good staring point. I believe they are...

Re: Radio & Speaker Repairs

What little knowledge I have also points to Radiomobile and Smiths being one and the same and it's a transistor/valve combo. I will dig it out when I get a bit of time and post as much info as I can, I might even manage to post a photo!! My understanding is that a lot of radios were fitted at the de...

Radio & Speaker Repairs

Hello, I have been meaning to get my Smiths radio repaired and the speakers re-coned for years and years but never got around to it, does anyone have a recommendation? The power pack disappeared before we got the car so hopefully this can be dealt with, but as it's U/S anyway it might be sensible to...

Sorry for the delay in replying I was away, I do but could not find how to upload onto this site, simply my ineptitude. I think if I click on 'pm' I can send you an email with an attachment which might get to you.
