yea i went throught the idler stuff too after checking loose bolts, ended up just regreasing it the idler bearing that is, was going to put a new one in, because i couldn't budge the circlip, but the supercheeeep holden ones were a bit too chromy for my liking. In the end the bearing was fine.
Just remembered another lada modification I did, got rid of the fan, and replaced it with an electric one, what a pain that was,
read about the mod in overlander i think, it was supposed to give you a bit more horsepower. ended up putting a hole in the radiator trying to get the bolts through. that was fun.
anyway, it didn't make it go like a scalded cat, so i resolved that to drive it like an old truck was the best approach.
then there was the guy from Lada aust racing who put , a v6 under the bonnet. i might still have the mag somewhere.
