There is a swedish version too: https://vb-pim-bucket.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/assets/manuals/7780216f-06e1-458e-9bd8-c0bf5e0f3752.pdf

Hej Per, I sourced a DCE Microsteer system for my P6 3500 LHD (Sweden) which I had to do the installation bits for. I made a report which you can find on the dealers website https://vb-pim-bucket.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/assets/manuals/ea2ed8cf-ccaf-42d0-8517-b6d5ae7762dd.pdf Apart from the...

My previous owner(s) had patched up what remained of the rubber with contact glue to body. A sore sight!

Yes, you should be really satisfied! Putting the sidewall lining on panel is a great improvement over the original "curtain" hanging from a piece of wire.

Hi Paul, I was looking for a narrower wheel with the same 5x127 mm bolt circle and found that a Chrysler Voyager minispare could fit. The dimension is 145/90D16. Model year 2008 - 2010. It is strange to call it a minispare because it looks huge. The diametre is larger than the original 185/14"...

It sure looks neat! The matching does not look too bad considering that so much of the original velvet like carpet remains that a complete recovering was not required. I did not have much choice since my boot was a disaster. I also had the idea to gain some volume by relocating the spare and...

I can't help you. A previous owner made a custom stainless steel battery box that had the spacer in it but, like you, I did not understand the meaning of it. With my sloping cover, I neither had space nor need for the original cover. The rather flimsy frame holding down the battery and nearly...

I agree - looks fine. I used 1.5 mm aluminium and automotive rubber backed carpet both of which could not be stretched to follow a dished shape. Just be bent. Hence my need for a window in the panel to install the battery. The panel itself is held in place by a single screw but interlocks with...

Problem with the RH side panel is that, if single curvature, it cannot easily be made deep enough to clear the battery well and allow installing the battery. My RH panel is identical to the LH side and follows the flat face next to the boot seal. It is held in place by a chimney nut (nutsert?)...

I am in Sweden - hence our "near side" is to the right!

"Near side" is left hand side in OZ - right? The bulge, as seen in the trimmed panel and barely visible in the aluminium panel behind the spare, is for the exhaust pipe. If you make plywood panels, I propose you make a local section in aluminium similar to mine and attach it to the plywood. It...

Thanks! Check my thread "Boot interior" May 3, 2023, in this forum for more details including space saver (width only!). P-G

Hi, I made 1,5 mm aluminium panels and trimmed them with automotive grade textile carpet. The boot floor is 12 mm plywood. And fitted a “mini” spare to gain width. P-G

The radical solution is to replace the driving brake function with standard double piston calipers (in my case from Saab 99/900) and keep the original calipers as parking brake only. My diff carrier was rather rusty and had been repaired previously which was fixed by replacing it with a bespoke...

I also suspected low level and added fluid to well over top mark but It did not make any difference. But it is very difficult to read the dipstick. /P-G
