Oil and grease under me finger nails again:rolleyes: Have started surgery on the Rangie, plenum and ram housing removed, cooling system drained ready for action tomorrow. Heads off then start grinding valves:yawn: Hopefully I won't find any nasties but should be back in action in a couple of days, weather permitting.
 
yea was chuffed to bits. the actual quote was for 33 i think for all 3. but then after a while - and alot of chatting and a cup of tea later when it was done they were just like call it 20 cash to shove in the tin for the boys

I turned up to have my tracking done, they'd never seen 255/100R16 before. The kit wouldn't fit on the tyres, had to go home and put smaller ones on and go back.:D

OK Will be there around lunch time I reckon... Kai will be well fascinated!

Spydie... you got sorted in the end riight?
 
update on mine, got the head rebuilt with all new parts and ready to go back on, stuck on a seized bolt on the water pump at the mo gota go buy a blow torch tomorow and try heating it, hopefully wont give me much more trouble and will have it running tomorow depending on weather, hopefully will be out next week.
 
Nice one Jamie, Hope it all goes well! I had a broken bolt in my old Na and it was a bastid! It wouldn't budge with heat or anything drilled it out and used a easy out and that broke off in it at this point iwas not happy! 12 drills later I drilled the easy out out and carefully drilled out the old bolt and re tapped the thread. wasn't the best few days i can tell ya. Jai
 
on a slightly more superficial level - rear numberplate light thing is nicely buggered so thats the job for tomorrow if i dont head off to wales. and got some stunning stratches along the side from todays little escapade
 
thats what im not looking foward to, are the timing cover bolts likely to be the same, i got myself 1 of them electric impact wrench's to make life a bit easyer but i havnt got the right 1/2 drive sockets for the timing cover a bit of a waste of money:rolleyes:
