That’d be great if I can lay my hands on a betterer gasket 👌

Emissions are low as anything. 0.5 out of a max 3.5 for CO 138 out of a max 1200 for HC. Cleanest running old Vauxhall I’ve had yet!
-
Looks like the new cork pan gasket is leaking too. Which is a pain in the ass. Probably going to need a new one and plenty of sealant.
-
Passed with two advisories. Nearside rear wheel bearing noisy (I had heard it a while back, glad it’s a wheel bearing not the diff) and nearside rear wheel arch slight corrosion. he was very impressed with it, and the emissions were really low too! It does run good 👌

How bad is the gold one? I mean, it was your first car…. If you’re sentimental about it, why not make that one a good runner? You can enjoy it again then. I wish I’d never sold my first car mk3 fiesta to a mate because it never saw the road again and was scrapped.

I’d love a 190 cosworth. The e36 is a nice car but lacks character in comparison to to the 190.

MOT booked in on Monday. 2nd test since it was recommissioned. sill check - they’re still there. They’ve not disintegrated over winter! Couple of things to note. The gearbox has bled on my nice clean garage floor. Great. Looks like it’s coming from the selector shaft, that’s a new one. I think pretty much every orifice on this box has leaked. oil pooled up in that gap behind the nut. Not entirely sure what the next move is… time for a service. The 20l of 20/50 heavy duty diesel oil came in useful again. Probably got enough for 3/4 more after this one. now this should be interesting. We all know the fuel tank was crusty inside… looks a bit brown oh that’s very brown Well that’s 12 months and about 2500 miles worth of fuel. I think this year I’ll be tanking the tank off for a refurb.
-
Front bumper looks much better after using automatic transmission fluid to spruce it up. Wish I’d done this sooner.
-
Well. It’s temporarily fixed. Both high/low pipes have been changed, however the front ram pipes are leaking. Ok, not as much as the others were, but still leaking. Can’t afford to replace them so it’ll have to leak ever so slightly until I can. gave the new pipes some temp bitumen coating until I can do the others.
-
Pipes took some getting out. Luckily I made two tools for the assistance of the extraction process. First was made from 3mm side guard lamp bracket, which bent immediately. The second was made from an 8mm thick shift rod out of a truck gearbox. That one didn’t mess about. the seals were extracted by running an m10 bolt into it and using the same extraction tool to remove.
-
Yeah, not keen to be honest, but they seam to be the only company selling the pipes. These are going to get a liberal dose of waxoil once fitted and operational
-
Yes. They leak for fun. Which is a pain. The high / low pressure pipes come in 4 sections which if bought completely will set you back 500, then there’s the two to the front ram and two to the back so another 500. Then the seals are 20 quid a throw……. Very expensive system to keep on top of. Normal roll bar system and the pulley/belt system will cost 250 second hand. So yeah, a cheaper version. Won’t handle as good though.
