Re: final drive gasket

Hi,
Can you tell me if this gasket requires sealant. I am assuming no, but wanted to ask the experts. Planning on creating a new one from scratch as they are difficult to get in Australia. I am assuming they are made from the standard cork/rubber gasket compound?

Cheers

Brakes Rotors and Wheel Bearings ABS

Hi,
I have a 1989 2.1 Auto Caravelle 7 Seater. Just got it the other week. Needs a few bits and pieces. It needs new disks and pads to pass the Road Worthy (MOT). It has ABS brakes. Are the disks and wheel bearings different to non ABS brake models?

Cheers

Re: Engine stops when it rains!

Thanks for the replies everyone. Some further information. Driving into work this morning to pickup the Chrissy ham and it was raining again. Only lightly this time. Everything appeared to be ok. Until the rain got heavier and the road was wet. So I am guessing something underneath is giving me grie...

There you go....Ignition switch. So the test is check voltage on black/yellow for 12v in the run position. If nothing then kiss your ignition switch for a replacement. Now off to pull it out and put everything back to gether. Thank you All hail the X circuit explainer Synchro-G. Come to Oz and that'...

Well if the $ gets down to the levels they say it will. There will be a lot of very cheap holidays here....That's if you have GBP to spend....

I'll take another look tonight and hope that the ignition switch I orderd turns up.

I've done the rear window twice (glass). Was a fairly straight forward job when I did it. I believe the key is to push it from the inside out to remove. I used some Cat 5 cable and stuck it under the lip of the seal to help. Replacement was the reverse process, but I had to use a little persuasion f...
