Can I ask... about converting to multi-point... (off topic I know.. sorry) but is that something that's truly worth doing & is it an expensive exercise??

My mate has a EL ex taxi that has 950,000km's on it and it still rips good burnouts and goes pretty good. Original engine BTW.

WOW... close to the magic million!! Good to hear!!!!!
 Major mod FREE too...
Though my speedo will never show this, I'd like to think my old girl will get there... though the horse towing will surely take its toll.... eventually...

If it sounds like ball bearings in a can, it's most likely coming from the diff (low fluid) or could be wheel bearings.
If it's just on one side, check your diff for fluid (oil) level & think wheel bearings &/or seals on that side. I have just (today) had a diff seal done & before that had a clackety sound in the diff area/wheel on that side (sometimes only) & the back wheel on that side had a greasy build-up inside the wheel rim... YUCK to try cleaning!! Hope this helps???

Great to hear your stories on mega-mileage....
It makes me feel more confident in pumping some money into my EB, mag wheels and the like. Just had a service with some new plugs and she's running sweet-as. I bought my car at 264 thou and looking forward to many more km's yet.......... Thanks everybody/ |

mines got 297,000ks on it and its still goin hard. Head gasket done around 255.000ks.
I just keep the old girl going with good fresh oil+filter every 5000ks.
Still goes hard, also do a trans service every 6 months. A lil noisy in the bottom end when cold but thats about it. |
