Germany, I believe ... where all the money is these days.

For a 1987 car, like my 87 Regal T, there isn't too much required for the UK. Emissions are just a smoke test. You need amber indicators front and rear. You can, if you want, fit Euro spec 1982-83 style indicators for the rear, or you can break in to the wiring and fit amber indicators...

I am pretty sure that Colin's car has spent most of its life in the UK as well. If he hadn't seen my GN here in 1990 he wouldn't have bought it.

A GNX has come up for auction in the UK today. Chassis number:-1G4GJ1178HP448983 Miles from new:- 233 Came from a private collection on Jersey. RM AUCTIONS Automobiles of London 2010 Sadly, the estimate is just a bit beyond the limit on my credit card. There is a Vector for...

Thanks very much for checking for me. I can't get it from Advance, but can from Rockauto. (at a cost though. A new Cardone MC costs $33.79, by the time I get it - pay shipping and duty it is $92 odd). Ho hum. Just as a matter of interest, is it worth buying a new Cardone one or a...

Hi, I had left the car for a while and yes, it is still leaking fluid around the front grommet. Hopefully someone could help find out whether the grommets are available separately and whether, if most of the fluid is drained out of the reservoir, they can be changed without needing to take...

Thanks for the replies. Here are some photos of the lifters. I will pull the rocker covers and check things out. (what should I be checking for and how?) I wouldn't want to waste them if they aren't needed. The car just has a noisy valvetrain. It is annoying but it runs very well, no...

Hi, I have a set of TRW VL73 lifters that Lawrence Conley sent me back in the early nineties for my old GN. I never used them. Does anyone know if they are good lifters, equivalent to GM's lifters? Worth using to quieten down my 206/206 cam and Comp Cam lifters? Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the info. The annoying thing is a bought the TA wear plate kit and didn't realise that they did the shim kit ... :mad:

Hi, I just bought one of the TA Performance oil pump wear plates. The plate has a short slot milled in it. Is this supposed to be on the gear side, or the cover side? Also, the gasket between the plate and the front cover is 0.006 thick. Is this okay, or do I need a thicker gasket? And...

Hi Scot, That sounds great and would be very nice of you. I think three or probably grommets would be good, just in case I make another mistake. :rolleyes: Do you think I could swap the grommets with the MC on the car if I sucked the fluid out of it and prised it off? All the best Sandy

Sadly, no Auto Zone or Advance or anything like that here in Scotland. I am on my own here. Everything has to come from the U.S. hence the $75 shipping cost for a $55 master cylinder. All the best Sandy

Thanks. Any idea where I could just get the reservoir grommets? I priced a new V8 Regal master cylinder and the cost plus the $75 shipping will make it a very expensive/idiotic mistake on my part. Two or three grommets would be good, unless I have cracked the reservoir .. damn, any idea...

Dangnabit. There is more fluid around the front rubber seal. Being over here I am unsure what master cylinder it is. Could someone tell me which one it is and what cars it came from ? And, if the seals are replacable, how easy is it to do and where could they be bought from? Here is...

Thanks. As far as I can tell it was a new master cylinder. All the best Sandy

Hi, This may seem like a daft question, but my 87 T here in Scotland has been converted to vacuum brakes. I just found some (just a little ammount) brake fluid under the plastic reservoir near the front rubber seal between reservois and master cylinder. Some weeks ago I popped the cap...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what turbo that TA49 is based on? I need to change the seals (leaking a bit of oil) and was wondering if there was a kit that I could order for seals and bearings for the centre section, and whther such a kit would be for a 'common' Garrett turbo. Plus, just how...

Hi, I was just wanting to ask some opinions here. My car, an 87 Turbo T in Scotland, has an old Kenne Bell 'ram air' set up on it. The scoop is mounted centrally under the front number plate and then quite large diameter ducting runs across and up and ends in the 'air box' set up with the...

I can't see anything under the heading. It say loading then just a spinning cake symbol. :confused:

Thanks for explaining that. I assume as well that, because you are not building boost against the brakes, the suspension stays in an 'unloaded' state, and therefore gets quite a shcok when the transbrake releases? Is this more harmful to the suspension/drivetrain that loading up the...
