General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

Thought I'd give the Trooper an oil change. Towing the Z to a track day tomorrow.

Didn't bother to check how full my waste oil catcher was.

Now the drive looks like the Exxon Valdez disaster. Might need to replenish the kitty litter supply after this.

Discovered that the jiggly brakes on Zeke are probably* down to the wishbone bush having become a hole of rubber debris.

On the one hand, they're probably five years old and I do drive everywhere in a manner likely to cause early arrival.

On the other, they've probably done less than 5k miles. New replacements ordered then I'll refurb these with bushes that aren't made of plasticene...

I got two racks of little Really Useful Boxes for the same reason.

Unfortunately as I bought it as a partly deconstructed project I still have a Quality Street tub labelled " assorted"

You absolute diamond, thank you ever so much!

Omega General Help / 3.0 lambda sensor wiring colours...

« on: 17 November 2025, 12:17:06 »

Popped the exhaust on the project this morning. Discovered that the ink on my labels has run to a blur even worse than my normal handwriting.

Need to reconnect the lambda sensors. Can't remember where the cable was routed and the plugs clipped onto the car, so can't do it off cable length.

Anyone know the colours of the lambda wiring going in and coming out? The plugs are wired about-face to one another so if I know what colour wire off the sensor goes to which colour wire on the loom, I can work it out side to side.

Couple of hours plugging and routing wires whilst getting the purple one closer to the road.

Handily some of my labels have got wet and the ink has run so I've been standing there like Indiana Jones trying to decipher "SB--G &£X" or "R§¢✓ F#N"

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wtd - metal clutch fluid pipe from master cylinder

« on: 24 October 2025, 12:08:20 »

Work continues apace. Found the metal pipe that goes from master cylinder to the rubber clutch feed is goosed. 2000 V6 if it makes a difference. If someone still has a stash that would be useful...

Or are they the same across all manuals? In which case I may try my luck with a breaker.

I assume they cannot be repaired as the fitting is weird.

Spent the day with the terrific Addy, off of this here forum, finding that I had done a biblically useless lack of preparation for reinstalling the engine into the purple project. Intended on having it done by noon. Finished about half four instead.

But it's there now... Only 150 more jobs to go!

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wtd - Front door window scrapers

« on: 21 October 2025, 16:54:04 »

Long shot but the project came with no front door cards fitted. Putting a spare set in and realised the car also doesn't have any inner window scrapers, the rubber bits that sit betwixt the top edge of the door card and the window. 1/2 inch thick rubber.

If anyone has a spare set...?
