Just bought some new boots for Betsy... really chuffed as they should just bolt straight on (Ha,Ha) . Back wheels are just catching on the two small bolts securing the brake drum to the rear wheel hub. Any ideas??

Cheers Salty

Morning all The head bolt has snapped a part way down on the bottom thread with the other part hiding in crank case i guess, but havnt dare look yet. Is it worth me attempting to change all head bolts at the same time or am i asking for more trouble, as im now a bit paranoid about when i put heads b...

Hi all, Have removed engine from bus and stripped off both heads, 1 of the head studs had been snapped previous to me opening it up and left to rattle around in there.

Thanks Ghost Yep I have started looking for a replacement, would love to rebuild but I need to be realistic! Any recommendations for recon engines?

Sorry, yeah it's a 1.9l DG petrol. I meant to say that I haven't flushed the engine yet, just the cooling system, that was a mix of antifreeze, water and radweld (i think from the colour!)

It's a 1915cc petrol, watercooled.

Hi all, yes another question about coolent leaks! We have a leak and can not seem to see the source, (we replaced the water pump 18 months ago) could it be the waterjackets? If so, I know its a big job, but can it be a DIY job in the driveway with engine in situ? or is it major heart surgery? :cry: ...

Hi another boring question about wheels!!! I have purchased some 2001 Merc SLK wheels 7Jx15 H2 ET37, refurbished them (chuffed with result). Anyway took them to chessington tyres and spent 1/2 listening to him umming and ahhing. Eventually, he spoke to someone and Mitchelin and the result was if I h...
