Fired up the Camaro after 3 years. Wouldnt budge (Auto box). Freed off all brakes. Still wouldnt budge. Topped up tranny fluid (really low). Now gets a wee bit drive in reverse but wont go forward. Move shifter down through D, through S and into L (low) and it wants to go backwards !! WTF

Just back in from Zedshed. Corroded connections on injector. Cleaned them up - now running sweet as a nut. Might just do the other 5 tomorrow

Done that to start with Dan but didn't help so swapped coil pack and plug from good cylinder but misfire stayed on same cyl. Plug was dry so now thinking maybe injector?

Took the car for its MOT today,started off on 5 cylinders but just put that down to its first road run since October. After a couple of miles all six kicked in. Reckoned it was probably just a bit damp and it dried out. Got to the MOT station, ran fine, took car out of garage, switched off, paid for MOT and when I started it again it was back to 5 cyl. Been like that since. If that helps.

swapped the coil pack and the plug. Misfire stayed on same cylinder. Where now?

standard boost. 44 thou?

Yip. Got the plug out.

Dropped a cylinder today. NGK R PFR68. What should the gap be and how can I check the coil pack?

Got me worried now Groover - MOT this afternoon and a couple of my gaitors not great. Checked MOT guidelines and got the info below. Reasons for rejection. (No mention of gaitors). All due respect to your knowledge but I hope you're wrong lol 1. a. no shock absorbers fitted to a vehicle on which they are standard b. a shock absorber missing 2. a. External damage or corrosion to the casing of a shock absorber so that the unit does not function b. an insecure or detached shock absorber. 3. A fluid leakage serious enough to indicate that the fluid seal of a shock absorber has failed. 4. An excessively worn shock absorber linkage, pivot or bush. 5. A shock absorber which has negligible damping effect.

With wheels, exhaust and body mods, value £4k, Footman James for £120. Been best quote for 2nd year in a row,

I needed the wee plastic bit for the door lock mechanism. Told they were like hens teeth but Luke from Zcentre said he had one that he'd throw in with the downpipes I had just ordered. As it was 1st April, I thought he was pulling my leg and bought 2 from Andy Puttnick. Downpipes arrived last weekend, no wee plastic bit, but this morning = you guessed it, my invoice and the wee plastic bit arrived in the post. So, Luke, I apologise for doubting you and if anyone on here needs the plastic bit for the drivers side or a metal version for the passenger side, let me know. No charge.

Fluid integrity checked. 40% JD x 60% coke. Perfect. Agree with the rear light description but budget dictates style at least for the time being lol.

http://www.biggred.co.uk/ i had to call the guy as the part number shown on his site is different from the one I got. The one I just fitted was M1718. It's only the seal kit (4 seals), not the full kit which includes piston etc but the cost was only about £15 and delivery was next day at no extra.

With there only being 2 @ 21w instead of 4, does that mean the load resistor would have to compensate for the equivalent of 3 lamps @ 21w, so 63w?

Only 1 x 21w per side. Am I getting close to a cluster lamp removal? lol
