Mik: You've just found the difference in 1/8 BSP and 1/8 NPT! 1 TPI and a different angle on the taper! (Our blocks are 1/8 bsp)

"Fog Free"

Single 30 weight non friction modified and I change the filter pretty well right away then again once it's ready for an oil change

Square Rubber mounts here and not a hint of them breaking. Don't like solids never have doubly so in a cruiser like a Mk3! (your fillings fall out at 1000 km's into a 1800 km trip ;) )

They cut into the wire and tend to corrode internally (dissimilar metals) so you end up with a weak point in the wire physically and a bad electrical connection.

Did you get the screw under the speaker cover?

If you lower the rear too far you actually run out of adjustment in the cams to get it anywhere near aligned! (I ended up cutting and welding some transverse arms to get it right on my car) Front seems to have enough adjustment to correct it even when slammed.

Bad thing when you have to put the beater behind lock and key in case someone steals the fuel in it! ;) (filled yesterday $88 AUD I normally run it on LPG so it's not too bad)

Thought Yellows were 285's/295's?

<golf clap> ;)

My guess is his "Pro Painter" charged him $400 and he was trying to turn a modest profit but got a bit carried away thinking they're desirable!

Had a play around using my A4 scanner and doing the scan in 2 halves this afternoon but it's not accurate enough for my purposes so I'll see if I can track down an A3 scanner to do it in one piece! <fingers crossed someone turns up with a Cad file already done>

Ummm well no ...... you said you blew in it ;)

Yep not many Mk3's over here! (more in the Eastern burbs then here in the North) See lots of Soarers and Silvias though!

JaV: If you're talking about "Scotch Locks" The type that you squeeze and it cuts into the existing wire these blow hairy donkey balls!

Nah he was just driving along and it came off all by itself honest! <jk> (just killing time till someone wanders in and say's "Ohhh that's the blahblah hose that goes to the blahblah") <Jamie from MythBusters impersonation>

That one has ;)

Might just have a guttful of air jack the front up and turn it lock to lock 10>20 times with it idling and see if it burps.

Yep can't see it making 2000 though so probably not that....

Smokey: :( If it were me I'd dig up an unbutchered Loom and ECU as who knows what "Genius Mods" have been done to your old one...... The wiring on these cars is a nightmare at the best of times let alone when a rocket scientist has been at work! (where in Melb?)
