two tyres.
new nearside short rear axle,
complete 4 corners bearings,drums brakes fixing kits, hubs,,.
alternator upgraded .
new Engine battery my choice,
steering bushings again my choice when i was doing the work .
NOW, ok to be fair the guy when i bought it gave me a grand off due to a known fact that there was a slight gring or synchro mesh of gear selection was starting to go. ok lasted 5 months .last weekend lost 5th gear complet;ly.. so today stripping out gearbox driving 4 mins away transmisions workshop will remanufacture my box as new, £450+vat thats good.
im going to do a 3 in 1 clutch kit while its dropped out and my mate igor who is the best polish mechanic in scotland will assist me with new timing belt and recon my injectors...
NOW thats got to be the end of this saga,,
for many years i have learned many mechanical skills and bought many many tools for the job. i bought an engine lift for £180 4 years ago for
a van engine and used it 3 times after that, incl all my personal and my motorhome im sure ive saved a few quid in mechanical bills ,some i have bit the bullet and let the garage do the lot,,
am assuming im not the only member on here with a mechanical saga possibly with an epilog to tell at a later date,,lol
