    Which rad for 3.5 V8?

    ESR 76 turned up this morning. It's only a Britpart one,but will do untill I can get time to get my other one recored. (Nearest place is 20 miles away and not open Saturdays).I'd rather have that in there than steam billowing out....It's only a toy so its not the end of the world. Dimensions...

    Which rad for 3.5 V8?

    I'm in exactly the same quandry. From what I read ESR203 is upwards from VIN FA428919,but I don't know what the difference is. Mine is very simple...Top Hose on Passenger side. Bottom hose on Driver side and expansion tank hose on Driver side. As mine is an RRC drop in,I reckon ESR76 is the...

    Serious Indicator/ Flasher unit problems!?!

    Wot Cooks said. Had same issues.Replaced all the glass fuses with new and cleaned up all the holders. Cleaned all earths and replaced a couple of of lenses/holders as they were full of crap. All OK 12 months later. At least then you have a good baseline to shoot your indicator problems

    Will they fit???

    IIRC those battery trays take them optima things. If you go here [URL="http://www.tayna.co.uk"] They have the specs for Optima and numax batteries which include dimensions.

    aftermarket gauges

    You can buy thread adapters from Demon Tweeks. You just need to know the size. On a RRC V8 it's 5/8 UNF.Don't know if other engines are different ?

    Seat removal and handbrake switch.

    Mine is 86. It was a real pain.IIRC,the seat back is held on to the frame with 2 screws either side. Once off you can get to the bolts which were rusted solid. Grind em off. I can check tonight for you for certain as I put a cubby box in it's place and the seat is in the garage.
