With engine out a steam clean and paint and detail engine bay will be on the cards tomorrow

Has anybody got a spare good 2h engine for sale as the one I have looks like it’s beyond economical repair as it needs new liners Regards John

Sounds good but I would need to hand to someone to do it all

Gents the engine is out and it needs a full rebuild some bores are scored which won’t come out with a buff and require over boring any ideas for oversized pistons and rings ?

I’ll try and keep this as short as possible I gave my car to my wife in February which I had bought from central Birmingham feb 2019 a six month old gls 350 ( before you start they stopped making amazons and there was no way I was having another Range Rover ) fast forward to yesterday and my...

Cheers tony I’ll have that off you I’m away until Monday and then I’ll sort it out with you

Gents I’m looking for a supplier in the uk for a gasket set as I need to take the head off and sump to pull the pistons unfortunately cheers

True I’ve probably put just over 250 but i feel it will have to come apart in October as I’m just doing the interior now , I may just try and replace the valve springs on cylinder number four it’s worth a try rather than go for a tear down

Ok update , compression test on five cylinders shows 415-420 ,number four cylinder is showing 235 , could be a sticking valve or rings.

unfortunately Jon I will be in Ireland for that weekend on my holidays

Advice please gents , as expected the gremlins are popping up now as I use the 60 after the park up , two brand new batteries it’s showing that it’s charging but the battery light stays on , any ideas Cheers

When and where is the meet

What do you mean Jon ?

Mot passed today after a long time off the road

i bought it from Andy on here so it was run in before I owned it

evening Gents, looking for advice / help , the cruiser when warm starts to smoke blue / black smoke on tick over and under load , the engine less than 1000 miles ago has had piston rings ,valve guides stem seals and rockers re Profiled etc so I don’t think there is any catastrophic problems with...

Hopefully number 128 tomorrow not booked 11.0 am fingers crossed

Gents I need to get high beam bulbs for the 62 24 volt , I can’t get to the car at the moment to get a sample bulb to bring with me , they are discontinued at Toyota , any pictures or part number so I can go to the store next to me Regards

on the upside you have a brown interior which I won’t say are easy to get replacement parts but easier than blue/ grey lol , good luck with the build good to see another one saved

make that 128 from Saturday hopefully lol

Stripes on !!

It’s been apart for a while so trying to put the doors together all the weather strips and small stuff are roached so more time there waiting For parts so it may be more than one week lol

One to two weeks we cracked the front screen putting it in so that has to come back out again, cheers Jon

Doors on , glass wheels and stripes next

A bit more of an update, painter has hurt his back so waiting for doors to be painted but fitted interior so hopefully not next week

Many thanks Jon for that I’ll order them up , the list of things I need to get are getting smaller and smaller at last

Cheers jon I will try and find some new ones
