Hay Griffdowg... your not the only one. I can just about manage 60mph, in my 2.5n/a too.

SHOCKING.......:eek:

So........ whats the knack for getting the broken studs out? Why can't these jobs EVER be simlple:mad:

Photobucket is what I use. I normally clip the last of the three possible links.

mmmmmm, yeh, would have saved my now bruised knucles:mad:

THEY DID !!!!!:mad:

It's doe's make you wonder. I'll get them soaking in some oil overnight, and hopfully everything will undo OK. Thanks for all the advice,:)

Thanks for the help.. I know what I'm doing now...:rolleyes: I think that where the problem lies.. I got myself a Haynes manual, and as with others I've brought in the past, never find them that usefull.

Is that flange ' floating', or is it fixed to the pipe?

:):D:o:o:o:o:o:o Thanks.

Is this where my thermostat lives? (2.5 N/A) Got a new one to pop in, and I'm going to change the coolant at the same time. What's the ratio of water to coolant in this engine? Thanks

I've always thought my 2.5N/A 90 was sounding a bit raspy.. I think this is why!!:eek: Would I be best undoing as much of the system as possible, so to get everything to line up. Or do you think if I can get the touque the joint together?

Paid £1800 for it.... Not sure if thats a good price or not.... but she's solid, and so far reliable, so I'm happy:):) Slowly working through my fluid changes, and fixing some cosmetic repairs - would help if this bloody rain would stop!:mad:

Thanks for the advice. To fold the windscreen down, is it just a case of undoing the two bolts at on inside, bottom corners of the windscreen?

Here's some piccys of my Landy. So far... she's running great. I can't believe something sooo slow, and sooo noisy could be such good fun to drive. Wish I brought one years ago.:p

Removed my drivers door card yesterday, and found this: :eek::(:eek::(:eek::(:eek::( Have I found a can of worms, or is this fixable? If so, what's involved, and what parts do I need. I suspect the passenger, and rear door are the same. Also, I want to protect the bulkheads ( below...

Funnily enough , just by changing the position of the gearstick has made a difference. There's an occasional crunch, rather that a permanent crunch. Still got my oil change to do. And I may change the seals on the clutch Slave. Disco mentioned checking the adjustment on the push rod. How do...

Thanks Discomaina. Thats really helpfull, and usefull advice. I'll start doing some checks this weekend. How do I check the pushrod adjustment? There's a fair amount of play on the gearstick, would this be causing a problem? I'll taken the gaiters off, and noticed there's a lot of wear on...

Could you please tell where the drain, and top up bolts are on my gearbox? I had a very quick look today... but couldn't see anything obvious. What are folks using as a repair manual? I'm not too keen on getting Haynes, as I've found then pretty useless in the past.:( Got the oil changed...
