The fan spins smoothy and the whole shaft is moving so looks as though it is the waterpump. I'm going to be lucky to get one of those fitted the day before Christmas in Nelson!!!!

Drove from Chch to Nelson today, halfway here the car started making a rattle which got louder with the revs, couldn't see anything obvious and managed to make it here. I thought it was the power steer pump but that feels fine. Then noticed that the cooling fan was loose and the pulley it is attached to, the fan has been skimming the radiator. So as the pulley has got a wobble in it does this mean the water pump is stuffed? (The bolts holding the pulley on, are tight.) I had a new waterpump fitted about 2.5 yrs ago so it should last longer than that? Car is running at normal temp too. Does anyone know a good place in Nelson to get this fixed? As it is the first time I didn't bring my tool box!!! Typical! I am driving to Picton on Christmas day too so it really needs to be fixed tomorrow. Thanks for any help.

If I leave my car sitting for more than 2 days. It starts fine but sometimes runs on 5 cylinders for the first couple of minutes. If I use it everyday it always runs on 6 on startup as it should. It is parked in a garage so shouldn't be moisture or anything. I haven't started looking for the problem yet. But it doesn't appear to have a blown headgasket, ie not losing oil or water or water in the oil and vice versa. Any ideas? Cheers

You can still buy new centre caps from Birds in the UK. www.birdsauto.com 27.36 uk pounds each.

Nice car, looks really mint! I am trying to see what is going on with the wheel centre caps. I see on the "before" photo that the wheels have the original hartge centrecaps, what do you have on there now? The reason I am asking is that I have the same wheels which are missing all the centrecaps.

Bean, sorry no wheels at this stage. (I haven't decided which ones I am keeping) Front seats grey material. I'll check the radio surround and front discs for condition. Not sure about the diff as there is a very bad noise coming from the rear end, could be broken wheel bearing or destroyed cv. I think it is 3.25 ratio. I will pm you a price once checked. Jimmy, are you local?

Alpina E30s came out with 16x7 on the front and 16x8 on the rear, Hartge had 16x7.5 all round. So that might be a good place to start. What offset will the new wheels be?

Yeah good offset, fill up the guards nicely. I have always had my heart set on Alpinas but the more I look at these the more I like them.

Usually a 1975 Fiat 128 SL, when I'm not pulling it apart. 1500 sohc, 40mm dellorto, goes well as it only weighs 820kgs!

Wrecking 1989 320i auto, 4 dr, sweet engine (140km), most parts still available. Bodykit gone, wheels undecided! Ph 9818220 or 021 0605724.
