Get it fixed...it will let you down... its just a matter of "WHEN"

Could cost more....depends what you find once it's apart and why it actually overheated in the first place.

Have a great day Mike From Glenn and the team @ Botany Motor Worx

Can you check the ratio of the diff for me please Kel. I might be interested Cheers Glenn

Dont bring that thing in for a service here....not if it tries eating people

Yes you should... like real quick....before it gives you a problem

I would also replace all the studs & nuts as well...but it sounds like he's trying to do it on the cheap, or maybe I'm wrong. He didnt say what or why he was doing it

Job done...all fixed... wasnt an easy one either. Our locksmith normally charges $240 + GST to do this if you call him. Thats why I dont give his number out. Cheaper to get it done through me.

You need new gaskets...not 2nd hand

You need to take both rocker arm shafts out to get the camshaft out

To do what ??

I would just like to add.. due to the previous thread. If you experience this problem with your key spinning in the barrel...get it fixed straight away. If the key jams, and you cant turn it to release the barrel, it will cost you a new steering lock and a new barrel which is approx $800 to do. Not many locksmiths know how to do this. If in doubt...give me a call Cheers Glenn

If you get it towed to me this morning I can get it fixed for you today $100 + GST Pakuranga Towing can get it to me Ph. 5761300 Give me a call Ph. 2722546 Cheers Glenn

Just wondering...was this intended for the "I might want to buy" thread ??? Because its in the "Want to buy" instead

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.... I'm glad I'm in a position to be able to help and its great to have people say "thanks"....you dont often get that...it's just expected. BTW that's a hell of a car that Rick has bought... nice to drive too Once again...thanks guys Cheers Glenn

I'm a "servicing barstard"....so I wont comment on this one

Get it scanned first Tony before you start fiddling... give me a call if you'd like me to do it for you

No it can be fixed. We get our locksmith to do them all the time. Its a broken pin in the end of the barrel Where abouts are you ?..in Auckland ??

Sorry.....I'm a purist and think thats sacrilege (spelling ?)

ooops...forgot to mention try both sides

Just give me a call when your ready. If you have trouble with it you can ring me tonight on my mobile, not after 8.00 though 021921377

Put the key in the drivers door and put slight pressure towards the unlock position, then lift the handle slightly while applying a bit more pressure on the key. You will feel a position in the barrel that will allow it to unlock. You might have to try a few times. Failing that, jack the car up and attach a jumper lead to the starter battery feed to give the car battery power. Then open it BTW... there is no manual bonnet release from the outside

You should get banned for putting something like this on here.....lol

Absolutely nuthin

Sounds very much like the fan speed resistor block has gone. As for your rear demister, have a look at the rear window connections and check if your getting power there. Then check the elements, failing that....get a professional to have a look
