Drained the LT230 and filled with fresh 75w-90.

Ok thanks. Well, that is something we all now know, thanks to your endless knowledge.

Is this applicable to D2 also, these interchangeable speedo drive gears? Thanks for the link.

Had a 1000 km's summer trip and the front of the car was full of bugs...so it was time to have a bath.

Looks quite good. There is some bubbling on the inner top corner which I would dig out and see how far has it gone. But probably no holes yet.

Yes the red is some kind of oxide primer. It says it prevents rust to advance, when applied to metal. I have been using it as a primer to the bare steel after doing welding. On top is just multiple layers of rock chip preventive spray. Both of these products are spesific for my location in...

I did mine last winter, both sides. But only these areas where the floor meets the bulkhead. Relatively easy place to do, just have to remove the floor mat inside and protect the wire harness from heat.

Changed from studded winter tyres to summer tyres - it's finally spring! Falken Wildpeaks on 18" Sports, they sure drive nice.

Installed a ledbar below the license plate. Hope I'm able to keep awake tonight until it's dark enough (after 21:00) to go for a test ride.

300 000 km's in odometer.

I love the handling of this car, because I can steer by gas pedal. It handles like 4wd on icy curves but I can get the rear out quite easily. It's still very controlled with nordic studded winter tyres.

Went hunting with my already senior german pointer. We have got quite a lot of snow now in Finland.

That is a find, 53k miles in 20 years! Sport suspension is very noticeable when driving. It sits firmly on the road and you can take corners with minimal body roll.

Update. New strut installed and no more rear door gym! It's so light and effortless to open & close now. Well spent 20€.

I have the bmw 2 liter diesel heater in mine 🙂

Went for a morning drive, -25C

You are right, it's -25 celcius here currently, been like this for a week already. But that rear door has been like that regardless of the temperature. Other doors work perfectly, I'm using teflon spray for door hinges.

That was my thoughts also first 😁 Let's see what a new strut does. It was only like 20€.

New gas strut ordered. Luckily our local parts shop had it in inventory, no need to order from UK and pay taxes and customs.
