Hi there folks. Just seen a post on FB regarding this part. Mine is OK but I've ordered one anyway out of curiosity. Part number is: - Dorman 696-105 It's from a Civic The one I got is from eBay: - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384952505959 Once it turns up I'll let you guys know what it's like.

Oh and I forgot. The side going to the engine I always use vasaline on. Just needs a thin film of it.

Was it a Cork one? They usually do come smaller, mine did. I've actually not ever known a Cork one come the correct size when doing them on other vehicles. I put a tiny amount of rtv silicone on the pan and place the gasket on, using the bolts to hold it in place. Gently pulling it to fit. A...

Hay there chaps. Been away for a while but I'm only a week or 2 away from getting started on our 280zx. Things got delayed when Chelle decided she wanted a Capri and then found a Capri she wanted. I did stipulate if it wasn't the 2. 8 I wasn't playing haha. I've never owned a Ford. Never...

I've just watched the video. Chelle and I often talk to our friends about our cars, as you do. The thing that always gets said, without fail, is that our friends would never entertain getting a classic as they just could not do the work on it them selves. That shell looks a lot better than...

Well bugger. Tha ks for the reply Ben

Hi there all. Do you know if the hatch from the 2 seater also fits the 2+2? Thanks in advance folks.

Hi Rob. They were replaced as well. Car feels a lot smoother now as well.

When I first got the car the smell of fuel was terrible when I tanked it up. Took it to my local garage who does my Mots and he let me put it up on the ramp. We found no signs of fluid anywhere, the lad was as surprised as me due to the smell. Anyway it has taken a while to run the fuel out...

Thanks Huw. Think I'll run it down to the local motor factors to buy some Ep90 and treat the stuff I put in as a nice flushing oil 🤣

Well bugger. My quick bit of reading tonight seemed to indicate sae75/90 gl4. Huw that way of filling would explain the 2ltr oil drain. I always though the Japanese stuff needed the anti foaming properties of GL4?

Hi there folks. I though this would be the best place to post this question. After changing all the rubber hoses at the tank end of my 280zx I decided to change the diff oil while I was under. Imagine my supprise when I drained out 2ltr of oil from the diff. It wasn't over full as I removed...

I ordered a full set from Rockauto and they came very quick.

What a jolly fine idea. Thanks Huw.

Thanks Huw. I already had the old sensor out when I had the sump off last week re sealing it. What I couldn't locate was the wire that should be plugged into it. That will be a fun game of hide and seek!!!
