Replace them all lol ^
That's what Im doing but still need to know what they all are first lol
I can't go back to metric either.
After my issues of the engine never reaching operating temperature of around 90degrees i decided to investigate & found this:

Thermostat stuck slightly open so replaced that with new & took it for a spin. Much better on the temperature, sat at around 80degrees.
Came back & now found this:

Surprised how easy the job was.
The Mrs then came round & parked on the drive infront of the Nova & asked "do you realise youve jacked the car up into the garage door?"
Bugger, lifted the car & as it tipped i was closer to garage door than i thought.
I how have a crease smack in the middle of the wing & marks in the paint :(
Surprised with how i wasnt really bothered.
I think this may have now pushed me to rip it to bits again sooner rather than later. I was going to wait until i sold my house & moved but now iam thinking when it comes off the road in October to just crack into it. :)
Ever since the engine went back in i've been meaning to get it onto the rollers as advised by John Toovey who mapped it on the dyno as the the map will need a tweak once installed.
As iam off this week i've booked it into 'Mikeanics' in Congleton tomorrow afternoon for a rolling road map tweak session so fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow afternoon.
Will let you know how we get on with it.
Oh sh$t dude! Thats not good. Good work doing the cv joint tho
Bad times :-( I would use it loads and loads this summer before the rebuild!
Dunno if i can be arsed to use it.Quote:

I have exactly the same thing lol have no interest in driving them, or finishing some, just something to keep idle hands working.Quote:
