Breaking: Ex-plod 3.0 manual, 2000-W facelift
« on: 06 August 2009, 15:58:32 »

Right. Head gasket is definitely gone on no.6 cylinder, so it'll take more work than the 2.6 to put right.

 As such, I'm selling anything off it that I don't want.

 I'm using the 3.0 cams, and the bodywork forward of the A-pillar. Anything else, give me a shout and I'll post pics up of whatever you want to look at :y

Best bits -

Electric mirrors, white, practically unmarked.

CDR2005, silver, supplied with code

Immaculate CDX alloys, with brand-new Falken FK452s - will let them go for the right price, bearing in mind the tyres are worth £280 on their own... they've done less than 100 miles

Xenon lights and associated wiring, washers, the whole caboodle.

99% immaculate GLS seats (ooooooooooooooh! ;) )

 As said, give me a shout.  8-)

 Don't think it's an LSD... but I might well be using it to replace my 2.6's (Possibly leaking, can't get in to check it yet). If I don't use it, I'll give you a shout first :y

I need a couple of silly things, if you have em - a cap that goes over the wiper nut where it attaches to the spindle, and also the clip that attaches the header tank to the inner wing.

PM me with how much you want for them? :)

 I know, mate, I'm gutted. Did the oil cooler, spent a couple of days doing it, and it was perfect... or so I thunk. Reckon it's when the coolant dropped and I wasn't in a position to stop.

 Tried the K-seal, like you suggested, and it sealed it for about 10 minutes... then promptly spat it out the exhaust in disgust...  :D

 Stripped the top of the engine to take the oil cooler out (and put in the 2.6)... could see the remains of the K-seal splattered up the inlet for no.6 cylinder.

 Still, it's not out of its useful life yet. I got plans for a few bits of it...  :D  8-)
