  1. I dunno if he's changed to full VR setup now, but he did have 5 stud hubs to fit into the 4 stud bearing carriers before.
  2. No. You have to moon walk around the car twice first. ;) Yeah, just wap them on and line them up before nipping them up. :)
  3. I've missed the sister banter... And the way she used to cuddle into my chest fur. :(
  4. Really good to see you making progress Dan. Wondered what you were up to with it. :)
  5. Surely you need a good bit of vacuum once in a while Eric?
  6. He should be fairly easy to identify from here I love the whistle from his turbo. Almost sounds like it's got a gas turbine rather than 12l and a hefty compressor.
  7. If the fuel economy is down and it's melting baffles out your exhaust pipe, sounds like the timing is out...
  8. Mine's beginning of January 1996.
  9. I don't know what the last number was, ETKA says.. 31/05/95 50-S-003773 30/06/95 50-S-004043 But that isn't concievably the last number. I did try to find out a little while a go, but got bored. Mine is 3932
  10. You can have me for free, and I'm fun!
  11. Sounds like a halfwit, or someone who picks up too much information from the internet....
  12. I haven't noticed a direction arrow on any of the chains before. I hope there isn't one now. Lol. Drive the seal out toward the flywheel. It'll be pretty stuck, I think you'll need to get brutal with a punch and hammer. use a flat block of wood to knock the new one in.

    Heated Mirrors

    Could be the connections on the back of the mirrors corroded away. Mine don't seem to work either.
  14. If you want more trucks. Smokey and the Bandit is on ITV3
  15. Put a jack under the engine incase it does try to climb onto your head... Get the driveshaft bolts undone first, and crack the exhaust manifold bolts, just incase you have problems, and you won't have to put anything else back together then. Remove the grille, headlights and indicators. You can unplug the foglights from the inner wings and leave them in place. Unbolt the bumper (4x bolts, plenty of pics on here) being carefull that the smaller bolts or the cross member don't give way and let the engine and box fall foward, hence the jack mentioned above. Remove the bumper and store safely. Remove the two 10mm bolts holding the radiator to the slam panel, then remove the 10mm bolts holding the slam panel to the car. I don't remove the cable from the slam panel, but wrap it in a couple of rags and leave it alongside the front wing. Then take the battery and radiator off and store elsewhere, PAS pump can stay on the car, so remove the belt and pump from engine, remove inlet trunking and exhaust pipe, engine electrics, gear linkage and heater matrix pipes, then support the engine and box, remove the front engine mount and drop the cross member off, followed by the gearbox and engine mount. That's a very concise route.
  16. An hour. Lot less if you've done it before.
  17. You'll probably want to drop the subframes and lift the rest of the car off them. I'd always use the front off of the car method now.

    snapped AVO

    Oh dear. Start off by soaking the end of the bolt in WD40 or something similar, next I'd look to try to cut the end of the broken suspension off around the bolt. Not very easy without gas though. Once you've managed to get rid of that, grip the remains of the bolt and twist that If the worst comes to worst, cut it off fairly short, and beat it and the captive nut into the axle, where you can then pull them out. You'll have to fit a new nut to the axle, but it might be the only way.
  19. Sounds like your tracking is out, this might be something to do with suspension bushing etc.
