FEI's latest activity

Does the gearbox slip once its in gear? That will be the main symptom of low oil pressure.

We fill it on even ground with the engine running at cold start.

I'm very sorry to say it, but if you have metal powder in the oil, it's time for a rebuild or a second hand replacement.

Not a friggin specialist is he then?

Yeah it works now

Brace yourself, I expect there's another one incoming momentarily.

I tried to help to just to close it out around 10 pages back. I think we just need to drop it now, every post gets another essay as to why we're being laughed at. I'm ok with being laughed at.

Divorced did you say? Work for yourself because no one would employ/work with you did you say?

The latest gents Running like clockwork! A slight oil leak from a failed filter housing seal and another from the oil cooler. Otherwise good as new. Just a fan and transmission tunnel carpet to fit

It says your video is private

If you just going to scarp it why all the bother? Just thrash it down the road at 1500rpm instead of 1200rpm and be done with it.

If your diffs new diffs fit physically. Your torque converter will spend more time out off lockup. That will result in more heat in your atf fluid so a slight decrease in atf fluid lifetime. Then higher cylinder pressures. It will take x amount...

Id love to hear how this plan works out too

Well I, for one, would like to hear how this experiment goes.

All done. Bought some M5 x 25mm bolts from Wickes this morning and it went in first time. Bracket lines up properly and all. Shame it was a 50 pack - anybody need 49 spare bolts? 😆 Pressure tested to 15 psi for about 10 mins, and no leaks...

@RRMaximus you have alot of perseverance. You keep on bleating that you want to lower your RPM but if not fuel economy then why? If its for engine longevity you do realise that a lower RPM but higher throttle request cause higher cylinder...

Weight makes a big difference to economy. You’d save fuel by not being so full of ****

+1 on the loctite The screw does tend to work itself abit looser during the first few heat cycles.

If they have crusty crap on them it's because they've been leaking 👍

My trailor electric comes down on the right of the boot 🤔

No. If lpg isn't exactly right (hard to do on a modern log system on an old efi car) you can end up with very hot combustion temps. Brave that it's your only wheels. Been there done that

Quote (it's my daily car and only car.) brave man most of us have a back up motor or two :vb-biggrin:

No need to link the internal pipes. Use compressed air to blow the coolant out of the heater matrix.

Catching up ... slowly!

Are you upto speed lad🤔😜

Snap on doesn't work with the p38 you need to go old school

Think it took me about 3 hours to replace the o-rings by using come creative cutting and a lot of swearing. Still a pig of a job but not the worst.

No need to remove the dash. A long screwdriver and one duct to cut, easy peesy. as long as the screw is not corroded in. Use a S/S socket head screw when putting it back and a smear of silicone grease on the O rings.
