Some may remember my long and sorry saga with my LJ 78 back in March, two
blown cylinder heads,( "repaired" in the UK), cracked radiator, A/T box
cooked ,etc,etc, living in the hills in mid Portugal and being absolutely
non technical, I had no choice but to have my local garage re-build and
repair what they could.
The local garage made a custom radiator one third larger capacity, installed
an A/T cooler in front of the radiator and re-built the bottom end, I found
a new cylinder head for =A3310 and they fitted it, they also made some new
larger exhaust pipe and boxes, fitted new brakes and a few other things,
they also re-filled the A/T box and cleaned the mesh, the vehicle now runs
like new, just 3000 Kilometers since the re-build but my confidence is
restored, the final bill was 1,800 euros, ( inc cylinder head), good value I
think,
Regards,
Chris.
