photos of the 2A?

suspects in that area include: the two cam seals behind the upper cam pulleys, or the cam cover itself. Mine currently has an oil weep from the exhaust cam seal :( Bit of a fiddly job to replace - you will have to remove the outer cam belt covers, cam belt, pulley/s and the back cover too. Long...

There's a new petrol station near me which offers "100Plus" petrol. I normally run 95 RON and have from time to time run 98 RON which I feel does offer and improvement in performance; I thinks it holds power on the hills better. I'd be keen to try the 100Plus. What's the advice out there, will I...

Put a new set of plugs in it today. I've been experiencing some rough running when it's cold. The old ones have done over 100,000 km so pretty good I guess. Gaps were a bit wide and the side electron had burnt away a wee bit on one side. first plug nearest distributor: second plug along from...

Drove it! Getting new boots for it this week 225/70/15:)

I too have poor radio reception on the FM channels here in NZ. I've replaced the antenna and the base but no improvement. The antenna and the head unit are both well grounded. My dash cam' power comes up via the LH A pillar from the accessory socket in the centre console so I don't think that's...

You could fit your own engine oil cooler kit -

When I first began driving my K series FL1 the gear changes seemed to catch - not very smooth, but was good if you weren't in a hurry to change up. Changing the gearbox oil did make a noticeable improvement. Pretty easy to drain but a bit fiddly to refill.

Mine's at 288333km - so nearly 180000mls. Still getting along very well oils weeps aside:D

As above - oil seal is fairly straight forward. Faulty wheel bearings can make a lot of noise.

Did an oil change and took if for a jaunt around the 'big' block. Only been out once since 25 March.

Great job on that repair!

That's genius! Thank you Nodge.

AC is excellent for de-misting your windscreen on those rainy winter days. If it were mine I'd be getting all back in tip top order.

My DRLs don't work legally. That is, the don't turn off when the lights are turned on. I bought what I think is the correct relay and I've wired them up as per the diagram on the relay. Power supply to relay = yes, relay earthed nearby to bodywork, DRLs connected to the Red & black feed cables...

That's an IRD and gearbox out job right?

I took off the coil, distributor cap & air cleaner to get a better view. There's no obvious 'wet' oil weep in that area. There is what appears to be old and dusty oil.

I've checked behind both the coil and he distributor - both clean & dry :(

Hello team, I developed an irritating oil leak from somewhere in the engine. It appears to be tracking down the bell housing to engine block joint and drops oil off the bottom of the bell housing. Photos showing an oily 'dampness' quite high up that joint above the engine serial number. The...

A good clean up will kelp identify the path the oil is taking and possibly the source. You can buy squirt on or spray on degreasers that work well, use a pot scrubbing brush to loosen bit up. Then hose it off... Put old newspapers on the ground to catch what runs / drips off or some largish drop...
