Halfords Dog-Taxi

Sounds like it's made a difference

Thanks for explaining, definitely worthwhile then. It must feel lovely to drive with everything you have done to it.

with the new ones there's practically no give at all.

now I am not a [strike]dentist[/strike] spanner monkey, but it feels to me that this minor increase in rigidity had a major increase in car rigidity, driving on the road the car feel much tighter and more responsive, to try and explain the feeling it's like it used to go around a roundabout like a bus, lethargically yet controlled, whereas now it goes around like a mini - point and shoot, much easier to get the back end out

:laugh:

also re; the rear engine (gearbox) mount - the stick doesn't jump about so much and gear selection is easier as before, infrequently I'd miss a gear, but I'd put that down to the body lift and stick realignement, but it wasn't :whistle:

made a 2nd attempt at making a sun visor strip, but this time used the precut option


much easier to fit :whistle:





got the dark 20% tint

works well, but the tint ends right on my eyeline, would have prefered a graduated tint, but hey-ho

Neat job halford. Mine came in handy this morning with the low sun.

well after all this time, only just realised that the armrests unscrew from the rear panels



so off they came, and used some self tappers to screw some useful storage tins in their place





I'm easy pleased.

Have you thought of giving the tins a coat of matching paint?

Felt a bit wonky today :sick:

So got the tape measure out

Measured from top of wheel arch to road (tyres inflated on level ground)
NS-Front 85.0 cm
OS-Front 83.5 cm
NS-Rear 85.5 cm
OS-Rear 84.0 cm

NS to door handle top 110.5 cm
OS to door handle top 110.0 cm

Bearing in mind its got new shocks and springs +2"
No castor correction
Whats going on ?

:huh:

looks ok

Do the springs have a seat for the pigtails or do jimny Springs end flat? Is it possible they have rotated and the end of the Spring being out of its seat account for the difference in heights?

How did you get on with this Halford ?

Ordered a 15mm spacer from jimnybits
Will update when fitted or not fitted during investigation

Good luck
