Nice shiney bits....what about the car, last we saw it was off for bodywork (quite a few years ago) :mechanic:
Ok...so I bought some aftermarket door rubbers after checking with RPD if OEM ones were still available (they are not). As one might imagine, the profile of the new rubbers is not an exact match, but...
Hi, I want to replace my door rubbers and there are a load of after market ones on eBay but I'm unsure if they are in fact correct. Any advice before I take a punt/risk? Thanks.
So...if we ALL agree to never sell a Williams 1 for less than £25k and never sell a Williams 2 for less than £20k then eventually if anyone wants one that's what they'll need to pay 😂😂😂
Thanks, I was thinking I might have to do that too (cut down to loosen it off). How difficult was the new one to put on?
Thanks Ian, I'll get a face guard!
Daft question time. Does the gear stick knob just pull off (maybe need pliers to get it to budge?) and a new one just pushes back on. I have a new one and it doesn't look like there is a screw...
Daft question time...I'd like to replace the door rubbers as mine look a bit old/knackered and I'm getting a bit more wind noise when driving than I think should be the case. There are companies...
I used Autobright (grey) on my door pockets to good effect. Just took em off, give em a wash to make sure they were clean and applied the grey with a soft sponge, let it dry and hey presto, they...
No two ways about it, it'll have to be done. The longer you leave it the more it will cost so in my view best to bite the bullet earlier rather than later. Think of it like this, if you get it done...
I took mine out the other day just to keep it ticking over...but then even thought it was relatively dry on the road I still had to wash it to make sure I got any salt off....and yes, that meant...
Hi, do you have the wheel arch liners? I am looking for an OEM front section of the drivers side (front) wheel arch liner. Thanks.
I'm guessing that wheel arch liners (front) aren't any good to us as we've got flared wheel arches?
The work was done by Autoshack in Woodbridge Suffolk. They do a really good job. As for the cost....it was eye watering (about £1.5k incl VAT) but I had a lot done - cam belt/pully's etc., water...

A slightly scary photo photo of my car having its cam belt change (and new suspension parts etc.)...but it wasn't long before I was out and about again enjoying a smoother engine and...
Sad to see that the Williams family are departing the Williams F1 team after this weekend. Can't help but feel that our cars history has just got a little more special being bourne out of the true...
Great stuff, nice when it's not too tricky and bit of fiddling gets it sorted. I had the same joy with mine, and only had to solder a few wires that had broken (which was also why my wing mirrors...
Found them on eBay in the end, but had to buy a set of springs and shocks. So I now have a spare set of front OEM shocks and a spare used set of front springs (that I took off my car, they are...
So, after a bit of searching I managed to find some almost new OEM springs. I'd already had the front shocks replaced whilst searching for springs, but also still felt that the rear of the car was...
PS the brittle wires were in the rubber flexi thing between the door and the A-post, and fixing the wires in the drivers door fixed the passenger window!
Had similar problems on my W2....for me it was just wiring. Took the loom out of the door and checked the wires, lots were broken (they get brittle with age). Soldered them all back together and...
I have a spoiler in 449 if needed to go with the tailgate.
Great that you got one, I have a W2 as well. I debated for ages getting mine resprayed and eventually went for it a few years ago and had it properly detailed this year. Best thing I ever did and...
They are certainly receiving a lot of attention, mine gets comments wherever it goes...mostly people saying just how cool they are!
Check out 'Autoshack' in Woodbridge (Suffolk) Facebook page for pictures of my car in bits...a bit scary to see as I only took it in for a service, but they've done a good job. PS I don't have...
Thanks for confirming. Ouch to the price, but my basic French tells me that they are out of stock! The search goes on.
So...you might have seen a thread on the Facebook page (from Emma, my other half as I don't have Facebook) about springs/shocks etc. We got the shocks sorted.
In the absence of OEM parts for the...
Yep, I got hold of one years back and seemed to recall I just plugged and played....then it chewed up an Oasis tape, so could do with being refurbished now! PS yes, I was having a throw back to when...
W2 now in for a long awaited full service, cam belt, pullies, oil, thermostat, gear box oil etc etc etc etc. (and a bit of an engine bay clean up whilst the engine is out!!!). Having had it detailed...
