Nice one Steve , it,s all the better for doing it yourself :bow::hyper:

:d:d

If it,s the pcv,s then any oil getting past these is drawn through the plenum and burnt in the engine usually giving blue smoke :confused:

I,ll have a go at that one day , looks great fun Dave :hyper:

Have a great one Steve , don,t drink too much ;) :duffer::duffer::dance:

A.T.F bud Automatic Transmission Fluid , it,s red and don,t over fill the box !!

I,ve got 2 Mocal coolers , one for engine and other the autobox :dance:

If your there around jan 10th the missus and me will be joining you for that drink :duffer::duffer::duffer: If not it means we,ve got to drink with Daz on our own :p:D

A bit better view than from your last pad :bow::bow::bow:

See i,m not that useless afterall :tongue::tongue::x::x: I bet the roofs would be off constantly , i think mines been out 3 times so far this year :headvswal:headvswal

The white smoke sounds like the good old tubby seals as for the idling and gear issue , the only thing that links these together would be a vacuum leak somewhere as the clutch pedal has servo assistance and a vac leak could make it die on idle . I like many others have got confused about the smoke issue as burnt oil gives blue smoke but when the seals at the rear of the tubbs are leaking the oil goes straight into the red hot exhaust down pipe and causes white smoke cos it hasn,t been drawn through the engine and been burnt , i,m sure someone will correct me if any of this sounds wrong bud . HTH

How the hell are we supposed spot it now when your going round the track :confused::confused: It,s all you you you :rant: Only kidding bud , looks bloody lovely :bow::bow:

I hope it all turns out well for you all bud .

Mine was slipping in second and sometimes on start up when i tried to pull away it was stuck in third !!!!. Got one of ebay , i know i can hear you all cringing from here :tongue: The chap i got it off had done a manual coversion on his and guarenteed that the box worked perfect and he claimed the previous owner had had it re-conned :rolleyes: . Got it for £155 :dance: and noticed this morning that there was a nissan part number sticker on the bell housing , these stickers are only on replacement parts so it,s very possible it,s had a new genuine nissan box rather than being re-conned :eek: Got it all filled up with ATF and took her for a spin , it,s as smooth as silk , alot nicer than my box ever was , mine felt lazy where as this moves up and down the box alot crisper :dance: As you can imagine i,m chuffed to bits .:D

Bloody ell Vinz , you still alive ??????

Lovely looking car bud and the right colour aswell :bow::dance::dance::D

I used patches and found them to be great , smoked for 25 years and had three weeks on patches and that was it :dance::dance:, obviously still had cravings but not too bad . I gave my spare patches to mantav8 , he tried for a couple of days but started halucinating due to the lack of nicotine , he,s quite a heavy smoker :nono:

I remember the Crown from the late seventies /early eighties , it was a bloody big car !!

Many happy returns bud , i,m gonna go out , drink beer and eat a curry , all in celebration of your birthday of course :duffer::duffer::dance::dance::D
