Just thought I’d ask you folks for a valuation of my now fully serviced and repaired coup.
My old engine had problems and high mileage so I replaced it for a newer 38k VIS lump. At the same time I serviced with new belts all round, 4 new tensioners, new 3 piece clutch and clutch slave cylinder.
Fully syn 5/40 oil, flushed and replaced all the brake/clutch fluid as well as the power steering and coolant, I thought why I’ve got the lump out I might as well replace both wishbones, anti roll bar D bushes and drop links as well. The D rubbers were the worst and must of took me two hours just for those.
The original problem was coolant
related so I’ve also fitted a new radiator, thermostat and both main hoses, brake discs and pads are great all round as well as a new exhaust system a month ago along with tyres.
So in all she is now purring with her new platinum plugs and if all goes well tomorrow I’ll be sitting in the leather taking her on a little test run by lunchtime.
