Hopefully just sent you a p.m. - let me know if got it, was not too sure if i have done it correctly!!!!

I agree! The car goes in the morning for the big ( probably expensive) trip to the transmission repair shop so it will be an interesting few weeks methinks - see what they come back with....i believe they do a test drive before anything so im really keen to see if they can get it to travel over 50 m...

Another small but annoying job sorted ! So yes those screws do indeed hold the bracket and union/ gasket to the body. Impeller was fine, so carefully eased off the gasket with a sort of ' backplate' to expose the inner face of the union and sure enough there was another small dollop of gloop. Was no...

Easy, i was just being too caref...

Trying to keep it as original as i can !!!! So yes, they are original Trico arms and blades. I have recently brought a new pair of blades with stainless back plates from CW, so should be correct size. However, there are differences - original one have the barbs that have to be squeezed in , to relea...

Ah, i see :lol: . Yes the chap did say that if i alter the rear, the front would be out slightly again. For some reason though they are not keen on doing the rear shimming themselves, so i may have to read and re-read the above a few times before attempting it! He did say that they are only very sli...

Spoke to this chap earlier. Will send you a p m in a few days
