Whats everyone got planned for this weekend and the r?

Well got my new oil today along with a braided clutch line and waiting on a new sump plug so hopefully all this be ready for saturday then get it all fitted, clutch bled with dot5.1 fluid and my temp gauge back working and hopefully get my car back to a un-paranoid state so i can polish it with some new meguirs ultimate liquid wax.

what you guys got planned?

sat got to replace the clutch on mine with some help from bobs lad apart from that i think its a service as iv just clocked 3500 since it was last serviced

Full service & Fit a kit car washer bag as ive not got a washer bottle coz of fmic pipe run. lol but theres no room under the bonnet so may have to go in the boot!

how often does everyone on here give they'rs a service i.e oil, filters, plugs ect??

its not always miles that count for me if i dont use the car it still gets started short run to get it up to temprature now and again. if it has stood it gets oil changed never leave much fuel in i know it takes fuel a long time to go stale but its just the way i am. Gets anti freeze summer coolant change. No problem with it if done properly but my pet hate is people reusing fluids If they drain them to work on car for any reason. Dont forget box and diff oils people seem to forget them

I'll be trying to sort out the clutch problem. So I might also be taking the clutch out!
Also on the list:
Replace two lengths of rusty brake pipe.
Find out why the reversing light doesn't work. (hope it's not the switch...)
Sort out the ABS which sometimes kicks in - but only when stopping gently at low speed.

And do wome painting in the bathroom.

If i remember right Lee told me the other day that he can get an engine out in a couple of hours. I'd like to come and watch how he does that!! Takes me a fairly long day.

I change my engine oil every 5000km, and all other fluids yearly.

I shall be plumbing in my aftermarket boost gauge now i have finally purchased some silicon pipe. Need to know what shes boosting to with the new actuator as it goes off factory gauge

just out of curiosity the guy that had my pulsar before used fuchs TITAN ATF 440 autoatic transmission fluid for something, would it be the diff or gearbox??

what does everyone else use?

yep hes had an engine out on the deck in 2 hours, he will be dropping the whole lump to do the clutch rich and have it all back up n running by the time you leave.....your gonna have to get some spanners out to help him though and generally be his bitch for the day
may also pay you to remove the Y bracket on the back whilst the lumps on the floor and sling it lol, good luck with it, il probably be popping up sometime during the day as i need to make myself a special tool.
as
il have the most awquardest job ive ever undertaken this weekend, trying to replace the cams on my tvr which are totally destroyed,i just bought 2 new ones which set me back over a grand plus its a real headache of a job to fit them and shim them up as theres no timing marks on the engine at all as its a full on race bred engine.

for the first time in my life im actually cacking myself with regard to doing a job as tvr or none of the pompous prick companies will release any info on cam settings or timing of the engine which is crucial to them running correctly (its a closed shop)...but the way i see it is that if some northern bloke from blackpool made it then im sure i can rebuild it

I use Ambra EP75w90 in my gearbox and diffs only because i get it free from work. It goes in the tractors we sell and i have never had an issue with it

Il be fitting my new track rod end and cv joint plus 2 new cv boots while ive got the joint off . whats the tool you got to make up then bob ?

Maybe it would be helpful to are less experianced memberes if you could do a few how to's to post up with pics and would be great if so

need to make a tool to hold vernier cam sprocket in place whilst i remove the cams from the banks

yeah when i get a bit of time il post up a few usefull how to things, ive put some on the other 2 sites over the years but il nick them back for here lol
theres also a few other handy tricks ive learned thatll save you loads of time and a few quid aswell

Oh rite so are you going all a team on me bob lock yourself in a garage with a welder some metal oh and some kind of weapon and then burst out weilding some kind of fabricated fighting machine lol the how to' s was not so much aimed at you fella i know you got your work cut out lol i just thought with everybody getting busy fixing pulsars this weekend it would be ideal to sort a few guides out to help us and newbie owners

This weekend i will be popping over my mates and lending a hand to strip his pulsar.

I will be taking the head off another mates pulsar to inspect the bores to see whats needed for his rebuild.

And i will be pottering around my pulsar seeing what i can do while i wait for a few parts to arrive from Bob
Think im gonna have a few tins of carlsberg aswell

dw bob i will be helping him i wont be sitting back on my lorrels

found out it was for the power steering. why would anyone put auto tranny fluid in a manual box(wat a pillock i is)

if you get there at 9 tomorrow then you can both get cracking on it
dont forget to bring some 75/90 gear oil with you as were running a bit low and need to order some more in
il pop up at some stage tomorrow anyway but wont be hanging about too long.


leighton.....yep il be making up a mechanical hammer slinging device to save me wearing my arms out once i take the hammer to the cerbera if it dont work properly once ive reassembled it

Ive just bought my gear oil it is 3.7 litres to fill the gearbox isnt it? and 1 litre to fill the transferbox?

none has yet mentioned the fact of driving and enjoying there pulsar

also working on my other one aswell over the weekend
