Good day!
Bought myself a new welder so I can crack on with stitch welding the nova next week and I can finally start a thread :)
today....Changed the valve in the servo vacuum pipe on the SR, checked all four wheels to see where the brake fluid leak is (rear drivers cylinder), on the redtop, stripped most of the interiori ready for rust proofing as it's on axle stands for MOT prep decided with warm weather to do the rust protection tomorrow. Then, I relaxed and enjoyed the much welcome sunshine.
Today I ordered what is quite possibly one of the last brand new and original Bosch throttle position sensors for the nova, plenty of 3 pin connection sensors floating around but oh no, mine needs the 6 pin type. Still, at least it will be worth it (I hope) as its costing £94 from Germany of all places, good old ebay! lol
Do you not use the 3bolt holes?Quote:

took old engine out n put new one in. wish id done a bit more research in differences between the td nova engine n the corsa version, headed up to the lockup expecting it to take a day to have done, started well, engine out in a n hour before realsing everything on the 2 engines was diffferent lol to make things worse even simple stuff like ball joints causing me hassle with opening boxes to discover the parts inside are differnt than they should be. it'll be mot'd this weekend if it kills me lol
Measured the plunge depth on the driveshafts so I can re cut the circlip groove on some c20xe conversion shafts. Basically I'm fitting big block shafts and CVS to a f15 box
Get Good 151s! sport carbs sook assQuote:
