    and popped the drive shaft out of the back of the hub. When I grip the hub and move it from side to side there is movement in the hub.

    and a half\' but that\'s a bit vague for me and seems a long time. I\'ve been told by someone local that it\'s possible to have an alternator off and back on again within 20 mins.

    as all the electronics may be linked. I was thinking more of late 80's or early 90's cars, where the electronics, if at all, were fairly "basic". Would a conversion prove to be financially unfeasible ? Would you have to notify DVLA and pass a MOT type test etc? Chad.R P.S. Specifically, I
  • M1 J19 Stupid Lane Markings 29 Jan 2002 (Forum)
