Hi Stiffkey

Im pleased to hear that about the crankshaft bearings. There has been a lot of talk about them being pretty much shot by 100k in these engines.

By the way, how were the other chain ramps?

Best of luck

Hi Stiffkey

That is ugh! But it could have been worse! How is the crankshaft and bearings?

Puts my calliper bolt in perspective.

All the best

Renewed the rear brake pipes , they were mentioned at MOT time so I thought I might as well bite the bullet and do them ,the N/S was easy but the O/S was a pain , FYI , I found taking the boot lid off and kneeling in the boot gave better access to the engine bay and I could clip the new brake pipe into the original pipe clips , so that's all the brake pipes done in copper so they should last the life of the car now .  

Hi

Did you make them up yourself? I have the gearbox out and was considering doing mine as I can get to them from below. I may just rub them down and coat in Dinitrol. Will have to see how bad they really are.

Tks

Hi

Attempted to fit a new IMS bearing this morning, failed, had to order a new one. Doh!
