there have been a few times over the last decade where have had failures too soon after and discussion leads to blame not the product but the cleanliness of the fixer - did you was the bearings out in solvent or petrol? Aha, you didn't clean the new bearings ? You are supposed to wash the protective...

brings to mind the ad for a car from France that was demonstrated as being so well balanced I suppose, that they ran it on three wheels (just no right turns :) )

Yep Steptoe - if you do want to go to the trouble of getting some 'Brumby' badges made up, don't let me stop you. ( I might get pair myself ) Just haven't had the time or finances to do it. Just remember it's been released on a 'creative commons' licence, so you will need to acknowledge where you g...

Pulled it out without safe removal technique too !! OE is set to an dodo email, so is all the jargon inside, dodo even told me I would lose my dodo em...

gudgeon pin circlip install detail

just looking at a packet of gudgeon pin circlips from a set of Lazorlite pistons made in Japan by Toto Sangyosha. circa 1982 by the looks ! There is a diagram printed on them to indicate the circlips should be installed so that when looking at each pistons gudgeon pin through the blocks bung plugs y...

Nuts don't just drop off. I've had loose nuts that amplified when I had load of bricks on board and made bad noise that forced me to investigate. Same position for me too. Maybe Chrysler were smart in doing left hand threads on the left ? Your rear left wheel where it was parked at work - would it h...

WANT timing belt covers EA82

well, I need some or all of the covers and undercovers as it seems my latest score has overheated at some stage where the backing covers (is that an oxy-moron?) have drooped all over the backing bolts. Even the front centre plastic cover had to be ripped off its melted self. If you have a set of the...

If you can afford a single piece tailshaft it may eliminate untidy flat bar sitting underneath, avoids trying to line things up. I went single after a long time, the tube diameter was a little bigger and found lost fifth gear while in motion - a lump of weld was hitting on the shift lever as I went ...

Nice one mate. Another good website for L's is http://parts.subaru.com/ - an American site but part numbers are generally the same. I've guided Frog to the part I need with a part number from this site. It's so good for research for gear ratios etc but can be tedious. Also I'm not sure it covers th...
