I got it 2nd hand! Its only bother is loosing reception which I can establish by moving the wire antenna around hence I thought a broken antenna. I got a bit similar wire, soldered the resistor end of the antenna to one end then soldered the other to the PCB. Reassembled the unit but the loss...

Its a no on the cross reference it seems even though the thread and depth are the same.

I've found a set of Bosch FR78X Super 4, still sealed in the box, that I got for an i20 years ago. They have the same seat, thread and depth as NGK ones so just trying to establish if they'll fit in the Tipo.

Noted of the NGK part finder. Seems they're Nickel so best to change them. Thanks All!

'69 1.4 Tipo 356 I took a spark plug out to get the part no. Its marked NGK FPT 55188857. I've tried to ascertain if its a long life type. It seems to be Iridium from a listing on Amazon. If so, @ 48k miles on the clock, I'll leave them in for now. By the way, has anyone got a set of these...

Its no for the local yards ... not a a single Tipo in stock.

My niece had her '69 Tipo 356 driver door mirror destroyed by a passing van. She's asked me to get it replaced. Has anyone bought from wingmirrorman.co.uk? I'm curious about the level of service.

As daft as it sounds, I hadn't realised there is two separate products so I'm pleased I posted. Thanks! I have an even bigger tiling job to do so that should go well with the right product. By the way can an adhesive be used as a grout?

I've been using No Nonsense brand from SF and had to try three times to get the tiles stuck to the wall which is painted with Dulux bathroom emulsion. The grout stuck to the wall but not the tiles until I made the grout rather watery so basically, a rather soggy grout before I got the tiles...

With mine, a Bora TDI, there is the water pump replacement to consider so not really practical. Lots of clever stuff on YT but not always practical for your own vehicle.

Is this method a yea or nay? Timing belt method I'm dubious about only being able to get the new belt on half way on before cutting the old one off.

Merely a suggestion! Carefully drill, as best you can, into the centre with a small bit for a pilot hole, keeping straight as best you can. Then use larger drill bits to get the drilled hole bore near to thread diameter then heat with a blow torch and use a large knackered flat screwdriver...

Just if of interest to anyone with this type of ratchet strap having problems keep the ratchet and strap together when stored. By the way, from what I've watched on YT, the strap hook should be on the outside when coiled up so when throwing over a load, the hook is not on the end to cause...

Having watched a video on a YT channel where a woman does a lot of house renovation projects, she was advised in the comments to use brown sealant for her white upvc door. Apparently the colour contrast looks better. Is Everbuild External Acrylic Frame Sealant a suitable candidate for the job?

Noted, thanks.
