Today I have fitted a Vectra sliding armrest on top of standart one. Needs tidying up but perfect fit. Standart armrest is to low for me and was useless for resting arm. So cut a bit of old one and fitted vectra one on top. Looks oem. For me anyways haha Also planning to fit either MGF...

Well after much thinking I have retrimmed my door cards. Pickerd charcoal grey fabric. It's not perfect but it is looking more modern than what it was before. Funny multicolored zig zags. Also fitted front spots. Connected through relay to high beam. Just watching wheeler dealers with wee...

What about Ford heated jets from ghia x models? Are they not smaller a bit than BMW?

Wow. That is absolutely fantastic job. That is amazing result with the interior. My car is back from garage after adventures with valves and clutch. Works fantastic. Engine is done so need to take care of the interior. Just found a pool in rear storage box. Quick safe drilled holes. But need to...

My one and only stuck in a garage green mean machine have 81k on a clock. No bad for Y2K haha. Low milage caused probably by time spend in various garages. Happy Freelanding Troops.

Thanks Nodge. I only want to retrim roof lining and door cards to match seats. Seats came from 3 door model and I like them. What I am looking for is to rip fabric from door cards. It is desintegrating in hands anyways. I think it is only small bit at the top of door card. And glue new dark grey...

Hello troops. After my adventure with clutch and other stuff and loosing my job I am on a scavange. Well cheapers anyways. I decided to upgrade an interior. Already fitted darker zebra print seats with 2+2 setup. I like it that way. Shame back doesn't split but I can live with that. And here is...

So after consulting my friendly garage with free labour estimates are cheap. 8 bent valves all intake. 11 valve lifters. Not bad haha. I know my fault. But will be ready for tuesday. Head looks awesome straight and true. It had an oil leak previously so diagnose was initially rocker cover but...

Cheers Nodge. Always glad to get help from more experienced members.

I will have a look tomorrow when stripping. What are rough measurements? Can I be able to see if cylinder liners dropped? Head gasket looks like it have been changed not so long ago. So is water pump.

Yep it is. 200 to 250 quid to rectify the problem. That's with all new valves, new gasket, oil and filter change and new head bolts. All new seals. So it's getting started this saturday. Big strip and assessment. Might not need 16 new valves. But they very cheap about 7 quid each. New gasket set...

Livingston my friend.

So it's dead. Just got phone call from garage and no compression. Just could not get any better. It's going for sale as none runner. Anybody wants it?

I didn't know that until I have opened timing plastic cover. Unfortunately it did fail and it is gettinv rectified now. So when I moved flywheel belt might have slipped. No offence intended to anybody.

Thanks. Worst thing is. It does need clutch as well. But I am not touching it. Jinx...

Well I think it did. As I said. I did not noticed that my tensioner was not tensioning anything. So when it was ok it was ok. After clutch it was gone. Presumably I have spun flywheel and timing jumped. And yes. I have checked all electrical connections. Even put new coolant temp sensor just in...
