yeah, T5's for the speedo etc, but there are smaller ones there too that'll need changing. Not sure on the type, but think I've got some in the garage somewhere so will have a look at the weekend as i'm fixing a car then. Will let you know mate. (pm me on sunday if I haven't replied as my memory aint what it used to be lmao! #getting-old-sucks.com!)

Aww, you shouldn't have..........What ya got me? lol

Some well needed tlc on DD Including brand new front brake calipers, service and general health check. Also need to do something about the snapped rocker cover bolt (needs drilling out of the head so going to find somewhere that can do that). Hopefully finally get at least the front end resprayed (would love a full respray but can't fund that right now). Might even do the front end paint myself if I can get the garage cleaned out and new hoses etc for my compressor. In other news, possibly looking to buy a future classic to keep DD company in the garage! Shortlist so far is a mk1 Mazda MX5. Oh, and decorating house (inside this time as we did all the exterior last year, painted whole house and gutters/pipes etc!) Best bit this year though is holiday time.................off to Greece again (Crete this time)! Can't wait!

Can deffo state this is a question/plan we've nit come across before! lol I'll see if I can dig out the specs for you, got them somewhere. Compared to most estates of the era, the aerodeck is smaller as it was designed along the lines of the bmw 3 series tourer. More of a tourer than a full on estate. Camper wise, are you planning on extending the roof upwards? Be interested to see the plans!

sad times. What brought about the decission to break her mate? she's a stunning deck. -
It will be done. Need to find somewhere that can also drill out a snapped rocker cover bolt as it snapped when I fitted the new cover (bloody brand new bolts from honda they were too!). Oh so much to do! Lol
-
Indeed!
-
The speed in getting all the suspension parts all returned and refitted puts me to shame! I need to get bloody motivated! Top work mate as always!

late reply, but if you can get the steering rack out and find where the leak is coming from you might be able to fix it. It could be a leak from the pipes/hoses, or it could be that the seals in the rack have perished. Check online that both the seals and hoses are available to buy before removing it though. Or, if you can find decent second hand one, replace the entire rack. From what I've seen, it's a pretty hefty job to remove it.
-
The only problem you'll have is when you take the old badge off the grill, the grill has the shape of the old badge built into it. Not sure how it would look fitting the rear badge to it with that bit still in place. To remove it is a big job which involves cutting the old grill up (you'll need a spare grill so that you can cut and remove the slats to put in place of the bit you take out) and fitting slats to fill the section you cut out. It has been done on here before mate as a few members wanted the "Euro" grill look, and it does look smart. Do a wee search of the forum as I'm sure someone did a how to on this a while ago so will let you see whats involved. I tried it on the pre-facelift grill (different design) but gave up as it was really difficult. I think it's easier on the grill you have though.

so that'll come under the category "low and slow" lol

Yes mate, starting it for just 5 mins at a time will actually drain the battery rather than charge it. Starting a car up is the biggest strain a battery gets, and it takes on average 7 miles or more of driving to put back the charge that was lost during start up. Might be worth letting it run for say 15 - 20 mins after starting it, that way the charge is replaced and the engines been able to get up to normal running temp too so keeps thermostat working as well.
-
Yesssss! Now the fun begins! Looking forward to this one!
-
Looks mint mate! Deffo going to get stuck in and get started on DD this year after seeing this! Looks so good man!
