    Anyone got good SWR on CB at sparewheel holder?

    As it says on title line: 1) Have You (and how) got good SWR-readings from fitting CB-antenna on the sparewheel-holder (i.e. good groundplane)? Do not like the idea of a built-in-groundplane antenna, and it seems like the simplicity of fitment is offset by groundplaneproblems. Do really a...

    Castor problems on lifted D2s?

    I lifted my trusty old 1990 200tdi around 2", but the steering became off-castor and in fact quite bad. However, this was not quite unexpected as I have been researching and running D1 for the better part of 8 years - but then "Otto" died at me, som new castor-correcting radius arms were not...
