I was just told car wont be ready by time said by them and that was it ...
The car is looked after... everythings orignal except for paint,suspension,front rotors.Its only got around 205,000 kms on it .. oil/filter change every 5000kms or so , flush and change coolant every 2 years , transmission service every 70,000kms ,change plugs and leads every 20,000kms so I was thinking of getting a 2nd hand engine but I doubt I could get an engine in better condition than mine .. so I keep pouring buckets of money into it ..
I was going to detail car and sell on and get a motorbike but when its raining the cars great ...so decided on keeping it ..
you guys wont like what Im going to say but silicone and nulon products have kept the car going lol ...
I removed all dirt and crap ( gently of course ) from under the rubbers of front and rear windows and the rear quarter windows leak putting water in the boot also the boot lock can leak... then put silicone to stop water getting in , also brake lights instead of replacing I just went over all the joints that were cracked with silicone .. which stopped boot leak
problems car has
1.rear main seal has had slight one drop only on bottom of housing been like that since 1994 (nulon stop leak every 2nd oil change and its not got worse)
2. timing cover very slight leak top right where cas wire comes down been like that for 8 years ( use Cargo stop leak has stopped/slowed it/ bars stop leak)
3.Power steering rack leaking ( tightened clamps and nulon stop leak , leak has stopped and been so for a year or more)
4.inlet manifold has recently developed slight leak which causes slight miss at idle ( cargo stop leak and bar stops leak has really helped)
5.Transmission rear seal has slight leak ( nulon stop leak has helped)
I can do most work like plugs ,leads , oil , flush raditator etc the basic stuff ... stop leaks and so on will slow the problem down and may stop it and If I had thousands to throw at car to fix I would ..
anyone live in sutherland shire want some work and can do mates rates
