Talking of which , ive been looking at V8's rover engines but i dont think it will shoe horn in  Well not unless you get the plasma cutter on it 

Why-----vxr turbo loonacy would bolt into Vecky----oh gawd what have i done

 

Thats a plan , a few hrs work in the rain should do it

Washed & polished the Hyundai Terracan myself (usually washed at local handwash) looks terrific the metallic paint on it has an excellent finish to it..Now treating myself to a beer & a cheese & onion sandwich!!

Had the 3.2 AC leak tested, and regassed. No leaks so my new compressor and condenser were fitted OK. Now ice cold in the cabin. Hooray!!!

Fitted a tweeter in the pax footwell of the Elite and wired it to my park pilot, which now works.

Changed a whole brake pipe from front to rear drives side on the 2.2, What a pig of a job took 3 days in total.

Got both struts off today to change the springs to cure what I thought was a broken spring (clonk clonk) to find the offside tyre is dangerously worn on its inner edge  Lower arms I thought. Dropped the steering knuckle off both arms and gave them a bit of horsepower, both have play so its off to All German Parts for some Lemforders. Busted both ABS sensors as they wouldnt come out of their holes ("Apply some anti seizure paste when fitting the sensor" it says in the Haynes book. Yeah well, the previous owner obviously didnt!) And cant work out how to get the vertical nuts and bolts undone. Where is the bolt head, is it on top of the subframe or is there a hole in the subframe and the bolt head is recessed? I cant see diddly under the bonnet! Anybody got any pictures of the bolt heads whereabouts?

Drivers side can be reached from above the engine bay with a couple of long extensions.

Nearside is a dog to do as has to be from underneath and recess is partly covered by the engine mount

When refitting, tighten as per the guide, otherwise you'll be doing them again in a couple of weeks along with more tyres...

Full alignment at Wheels In Motion or similar afterwards as well

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll take a fresh look tomorrow!

Just looked at WIM website, its a bit confusing to say the least. They've got dealers who will do the alignment all over the place, are these as good as the full blown WIM sites? There's one in Tonbridge just a few miles from me in Tunbridge Wells...
