Don't mix it with tap water buy 5ltr of de-ionised water, then just mix 5ltr together, 10ltr of 50/50.

Just pop a drive shaft out, if you see 4 pins it's LSD, if you see 2 pins it's open.

Also don't use normal EP75/80w it doesn't contain the correct additives, use Amsoil,  I did put a link in another thread

General Car Chat / Re: Cheapish oil

« on: 29 September 2024, 16:40:50 »

I have just found this Opel GM oil from Autodoc:
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/opel-gm/14429902?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&tb_prm=20315908947&gshp=1&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq_-M1bDoiAMV7KNQBh1ewyh8EAQYASABEgLT_fD_BwE

Can this be correct?? Is this Opel GM oil still being produced?  I thought the GM connection was now dead!

 Well looking at the pictures and descriptions it looks like the right stuff, possibly they've got a lot of old new stock to shift.

If Simon's had it for any length of time, chances are it's already got that T shirt...

Assuming of course that it still has the original diff

 I think that was the last one he sold, was his daily,,,  Don't get the air filter they restrict the flow,and gets warm air sucked in, reducing Power...

And, if I didn't have a dog, I wouldn't mind a not-so-micra. They're a fair size now.

My daughter in law has just got herself a Micra. They look twice the size of the old ones. 

 I've got a K12, lovely little runaround, can drive it flat out every where, good on fuel,  teaching son to drive in at moment, and the price of putting him in the insurance is horrendous...

« on: 08 September 2024, 17:00:14 »

Still trying to source a pair of plod rear springs for mine, but rare as hens teeth now by the look of it. 
Thought I may have had some front springs in my spares pile, but had a look yesterday and couldnt find any.

Ones of a Herse are the same spec as police. If you've got EPC look on there, Hearse, Ambulance and Police.
