ill text you in a bit, im about to jump my smelly ass in the bath lol

Ben Nevis, then head north slightly to loch ness

you need a replacement fpr? i have one that came off the red car mate.

take a drive up to the isle of skye through the highlands mate, absolutely stunning. i blew my con rod on the road just east of the 5 sisters mountains, i had a mountain range one side a loch and another mountain range the other. stunning scenery to break down with, just mind the wild dear that frequent the side of the road. Just off shot to the far left is where i blew a conrod lol

have you lifted your limits? there is a section for doing it

i know, terrible i tell you

i have a little cut out daz sitting in my photos folder, just wait for the amazing adventures of daz post lol you just wont believe the locations that man has planked.....

for indoor use only, or it would be nicked on the first night lol

Glass bottles / pint glasses are prohibited from the site. Due to Wicksteed park being a place for children during the year, plus having a vast amount of cars on site during JAE, the organizers have taken the stance of what was set last year and are prohibiting glass bottles from the site. Attendees will be required to adhere to this as tyres and children don't mix too well with broken glass, and as its a large site and in use through out the year to families, cleaning up smashed glass would be a little bit of a mission. Full co-operation in this would be most appreciated. Thank you Vodkashots.

didnt anyone notice daz planking in this image?

mine goes through the bonnet release cable grommet as well

Shall have to give that a try I have a few small marks that I notice on mine that should get it out. Will do some before and after shots as well let people know how good it is

Sub frame is fine, the damage was caused by a 1.5 ton car hitting the barrier at slow speed on a small area, I did have to change a hicas arm though and tracking wasn't checked after, subframe looked fine, and it also went through the mot with only the hicas arm failing it the first time, trust me I checked for damage after that happened as I was keeping the car at that point

I'll pm you in a bit, I'm on me phone and it doesn't like sending pm's lol

You know I still have the original 89 spec front bumper for that car in The same color

Yeah but I'm not breaking this, so want to do it with out damaging anything lol

Cheers bud at last someone who understood what I was on about lol

Think your mixing me up with someone else, we took the gearbox off first if you remember matey

Ok right, seems people think I have a fully functioning Nissan factory with 4 posters or something, I want to lift the gear box and engine out of the bonnet as it says to do in the service manual, by disconnecting the steering column lower joint, removing the tension rod fixing bolts from both sides loosening the transverse link bolts and lowering it while the engine is on a hoist

Gear box and engine need changing, I've done engine and gearbox change before but always taken the gearbox off and then the engine out

eh? all i want to do is stick the car on ramps at the front, and lift the engine after lowering the front cross member while the engine is attached to the gearbox as per the service manual. why would i make things more complex by trying to raise the car up and over the engine and having to undo more than what is essentially necessary? I have limited lifting capabilities as it is lol unless im just not following what your on about :lol:

General question, but whats the minimum height i need to get the car in the air to be able to get the engine and gearbox out by dropping the front sub frame. Thinking of doing it this way this time to save time and also gain the experience from doing it in this manner. I've always taken the gearbox off first and then the engine. and although i find it better when working on my own. id really like to attempt my engine and gearbox change by dropping the front sub frame so i can attach the gearbox to the engine while its out and lower it in, in one go to save the hassle of trying to raise a gearbox off the floor and mount it with the engine.

the garage that said £600 for repair work, plus a spray over in the location to match the car is the same garage that Artztogo got all his body work done with, based in wednesbury Birmingham. They also quoted me £1200 for a full respray as well and are very good. Jim have you had a look at a cheap Volvo estate? comfy enough for the family but large enough for work, also good on insurance and fairly cheep to run.

id first have a visual inspection to see if anything has snapped / broke / perished if that yields no results, jack up the front end, and with each wheel in the air, grab it at the quarter to 3 position with both hands and see if there is any abnormal left to right movement. then do a half 12 position with both hands and do the same. if there is movement then something has given in. do the same with both wheels. also check the struts to see if they are leaking or not.

Sounds strange but check your exhaust bolts are tight.
