Thread: advice needed......lurch has a headache.....

apparently you replace the studs with 300tdi ones and you will probably need to find somewhere that will machine your manifold flat also.

give me a bell if you get stuck, i have all the bits and tricks for removing studs.

Also elongate the end stud holes in the manifold. This is supposed to help when it expands and shriks.

i read something about that........drill them out to 10mm to allow some movement......
drill out all the holes except the middle 2 to allow it to locate in the correct position......




and im even gonna paint the manifold whilst its out.......make it look really sexy.......which also means faster.......
i just have to decide which is the fastest colour.........

tr spares open too late and close too early for me.......unless i can get mad to pick up the parts for me......
she drives past there everyday to take the kids to school........


but rovercraft........i can even get there to pick up parts on my lunch break......as i am in pagewood......just up the road from them........


i was just wondering whether to bother with parts places such as repco as they deliver to us every day.......


i will stick to genuine.........

karcraft will do same day delivery if ordered b4 10am.
