That's the one. Yours felt much.... 'tighter'. There is a lot of play in the steering and it pulls to the left a little. Also think it's lost some of its horses. There doesn't feel too much pick up in first or second unless it's screaming. We had some biblical rain yesterday and when I went back in the car it was leaking at the sun visors.

But that's about it!

That's to everyone who offered their thoughts in my other thread and by PM.

Looks like the sun is out today so I'll see what I can do picture wise.




P.S.
Foolishly floored it coming off a wet roundabout on the way home and nearly met my maker :o:

Is there a section I'm missing on the wiki for replacing the instrument cluster bulbs? Mine is not illuminated with the lights on :(


Another question. The aerial was removed and capped off so would a modern head unit be unable to pick up reception?

Cheers

Not sure about the aerial, but I did the cluster bulbs on mine last year and I posted about how to do it in my thread here > http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 27#2810027

Turn the light switch clockwise to make sure the dash lights are on full brightness.
