is it the original belt? possible the last person got it wrong.

are you sure its at TDC? i feel like there should be a corresponding mark somewhere for that one on the crank pulley, though i havent done a 3S belt in a long time. if you turned it back a fraction it looks like the cam sprocket marks ...

yeah, before my twins were born i had two bikes and three cars.

has been a downhill slide ever since, i have been hot and cold about getting something to tinker with but not sure where i would find the time.

we shall see!

im probably about the same Al.

company car

sold it. no longer own any vehicles, slightly strange sensation

are you sure its the reflector and not the bulb?

i have regular dealings with autosure.

my understanding is that euro drivers are heavily subsidised by those in japanese cars.

this is obviously a sweeping generalisation, and as you have noted - any car can be a bucket of poo for no obvious reason.

bin IMHO

whats it worth anyway? unless its something extra special hardly seems like its worth the effort to me

that actually looks bloody straight. thats not like you

thats nice man. what are they worth? me want...

yes, great watch - do recommend

is the battery / charge light on the dash full time?

i seem to recall an issue with TGP and ryco both leaking from seams a few years back - maybe he got an older filter?

you'd like to think stock still on shelves in the affected range would have been recalled though...

does it run ok otherwise? with a jumper on presumably. battery light on?

i'd put money on it being something done during conversion

i saw that one posted in OT.

made me want an LS400!

especially when you could proudly buy locally made ladas

thats the one im thinking of.

i dont seem to recall it ending that well though...

i wish i had done a few years before i got all familied up, i hope you are putting plenty of that money away D1 for house deposit or sweet race car or both.

put the distributor back together and made the car go again. fun times!

might sort out a few other more minor issues i had been ignoring while its off the road. whats a few more months

whats the leak? (ie what kind of fluid) if its coming out from between the engine and the bellhousing it could be the rear main seal, or it could be something leaking onto the bellhousing from above and running through it. or it could be the front seal on the gearbox input shaft.

plenty of options ...

got the battery back in the right way round / right terminals on appropriate leads?
