Today

1st time in garage for a major inspection

Looks good:

The welding looks good too!
Remember this?

Now this:

Oil leak from seals/cams(?) not good :-(

The leather seats:

Well,
Lukes needs:
1. Timing belt (possibly)
2. Sparks (possibly)
3. Fuel filter
4. Auxiliary belt(s)
5. Front fogs (not working)
6. Seals (possibly for oil leak)
7. Erratic idling yo-yoing between 900-1100rpm

Nice, liking the amount of work your putting into it 8-) I will mention one thing tho regarding the AC. R134a will eat through all R12 seals in no time. This is what the AC trainer told me when I did my AC coarse and licence. You can replace r12 seals with r134a but as already said, it will leak much faster and it runs differently. Never heard of the replacement gas you talk of tho :? :think:. Looks 8-) well done 8-)

Cheers Thebusofwoe!

I could be wrong about the RS24 - but I will give it a try.

Here are some articles I found:

Interesting on R413, I hadn't heard of that one.
To be fair, it's been a couple of years since I had a/c maintenance guys working for me, so that might explain it.


Interestingly, R134a is due to be phased out in the near future too... ;)


Major improvement on the welding job btw - looks good and neat that, now!

Cheers guys
And thanks for the SPAM!

What is ATTS?


Cheers Iain.
I was pleased with the welding underneath too :-)
Considering it was horrible from the outside (ref bubbling on the sills...)

Am sure we 'humans' will be next to be phased out and replaced by characters from the film, Avatar
