Re: Replacing 10mm With 9mm Valve Adjusters in DJ2.1 Engine.

And yet the manufacturer say for wbx engines :?

Re: Coolant issues

No you don't and you shouldn't because coolant is toxic. It causes rapid renal failure, a horrible death for small animals. One of those big round sump drain pans with a spout hold about 15 litres. You're not doing a full drain down so it will hold the contents of the radiator easily. Front end on r...

Re: Broken gearbox casting where support plate mounts
