Picked up a towbar, front grill, lights and surrounds, rear control arms, bonnet and p/s pump from Shaune yesterday. Great guy to deal with and would buy from him again.

There's still a few good parts left. Most body work is very rusted but most chrome trim is in good cond and still there. Few other bits and pieces still there too.

He mentioned the parts you guys asked about, like the rear vision mirror and bumper ends etc. They were'nt in fantastic cond but were ok. I think he wants to take some photos and post them up to let you decide if you definitely want them.

I hadn't met him before yesterday, but I have his number so I'll send him an sms to let him know.

I'll answer a few of your questions based on what I saw though.

Front bumper was in ok cond, bit of surface rust and a minor dent (pretty small) end pieces were there and in ok cond. No console though.

Bonnet was pretty much stuffed beyond repair, very heavyily rusted.

Nightmonkey, the metal behind the rear wheels was fairly rusted, probably not worth taking.

Ricky, rear view mirror was a little faded with that crusty layer that plastic in the sun for 30 years gets, but otherwise not bad, assuming you want it because you don't have one it would definitely be worth getting I think.

Dizzy and a few engine ancilliaries looked good.

    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
    • In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
    • Good question, I don't really know tbh...I'm pretty stock thought, where could I check this?
    • This. I'm confused by the whole discussion. The only reason you would have a car with e85 only if it was track use and you only ever used e85. All other use cases you add a flex fuel sensor, do the flex tune (you only need to do a couple of % and then interpolate the rest) and then you put whatever the hell you feel like including a mix in the tank and it just works. Want a long drive? fill with 98 Want max zoom? fill with e85 Got a half tank of 98 then find e85 somewhere? Throw it in.
