comming along well, shame about he rear demister and rear washer switches in the dash fading (but try and find one that isnt).

apparently baby oil brings them back to life, i have a few spare buttons here i might give it a go.

Baby oil i might try that on mine cheers for that one!

hahaha! I only learnt of the baby oil trick today from Banarcus.....looks like baby oil sales are about to rise

Hey Huggie, well done mate.

Looks like we both were into stripping red heads (Red EBs) today, only opposite components. LOL

BenJ

haha yeah, i thought id give you a laugh and copy your msn sub-name "Outside Stripping the red EB" haha

just have to chase up a few small things like tail gate struts and passenger tail light, fix the head gasket then bammo she is done

well i thought id kick this thread in the bum and bump it back up there, not much has been changed, i replaced the headgasket, when i pulled it apart i found out the last person had 10000000% no idea what they were doing, bolts wernt tights, the head wasnt even tensioned down, and they didnt clean the head or block down before installing the new headgasket... they pulled the injectors apart and then tried to stuff them back in destroying the end caps in the process, exhaust manifold was loose.. no wonder the thing ran like a pig. so i replced it all and it still ran like a dog, so i replced the sparkplugs, then the dizzy cap and rotor button along with the leads, i also cleaned the ICS and O2 sensors.

funny thing is it ran with a miss and we couldnt work out why... then the next morning i went out to move it and the bloody thing ran like a dream, no more hesatation... im confused lol.

so now here is a list that needs to be done for RWC,
swap tyres with the fairlane (they are still ok but might not pass RWC) then swap back after RWC is recieved.
install new wiper blades/arms
fix the sloppy selector (issus is at the gearbox not the selector itself - no idea how to fix it)

i would have rego on it this week but i have some bills i need to pay first.
