Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | My car has been SORN since the start of April with an issue with the cooling system. The car would get hot when idling or cruising at low revs/ high gears. So in preparation for it's MOT and return to the road, the top end was practically rebuilt, once again by Sean, consisting of; Head skim and clean, new Payen Elastomer HG, new headbolts, new cam seals, new cambelts, new waterpump, new 82 stat, fresh oil and filter, fresh OAT coolant, new lambda sensor and new alternator belt. There seems to be an existing issue of the fan cutting in nearly in the red, however it drives ok and doesn't get hot quickly upon idle. I am going to test with a pair of alternative CTSs. Here are some photos of the rebuilt, once again by Sean. Skimmed head  amazing finish  Block face pre clean  Block face being cleaned  New HG in place  Inlet going on  Engine bay  Locating the head  Rocker cover face clean up  Sorting the suspension  At the MOT   My 2 at the end of MOT day  Fan cut in on horiztonal dials  Fan cut in on vertical dials  | ||

(I'm not chopping my roof off!  lol)  Also spent about 3 hours giving the car it's first proper clean from being laid up end of March this year. By god it was hard work.   | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Got some of Ralph's droop stop spacers and new droop stops. My god, what a difference! Whole car feels much tighter and less twitchy at the rear. Fitted along with some nice new stainless bolts.  Only got pic of 1 side fitted as I forgot. Lol  Each of the original 56k droop stops were pretty knackered.   Also, raided a modded ZR at the scrappy and amoungst other things I got a TF hand brake grip from it. I wiggled the Rover 100 one off, and the TF one goes straight on perfect fit!  | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Haven't updated this for so long. I refurbed the interior and the VVC died. GSi door caps and leather trim door cards with GTi Lux Pack half leathers.  I also got a really nice condition black camcover from Sean. My local car shop was doing the allen head bolts cheap too  You can just see the PRT in the edge of photo. I also gave the header tank a good clean up too since the NOS ones are silly prices lol  I have also fitted a R65 quickshift that is one of my favourite mods for £20. I'd also recommend to everyone even without a quickshift to pop the rod off of it's ball joints and apply a pea sized blob of grease into each socket. It really slicked up my gear changes. | ||
