I secure the banjo bolt and two crush washers onto the pipe by using an old oring to hold it on Do this before you install the PCV pipe Once the threads have started, I pull the oring with a pick and cut it off This is a great idea! I wish I had done this in May when I did the PCV on mine. Related ...

I think you just checked the cams so this is probably irrelevant but: Is the little metal mounting disc under the CPS (and the distributor one for that matter) in the correct orientation? It's possible to mount them wrong and still reassemble, then they are 180 out of phase.

This really looks like the way to go to me...trying to figure out if the cups on this are 8mm or not, and if the spring retainer clips come with it. Even if this is too long or short, its close enough to be able to shorten the threaded sections or add longer ones as needed. https://www.partsklassik....

Stupid question but are you sure that is a 99? It doesnt have side indicators or the blue badge? Looks to be fully loaded so that is a plus.

The ECC bulbs on my '95 855 T5 had not failed but were clearly emitting a low level of light. I noticed this after changing the instrument bulbs. Taking into account they have been working over 25 years I thought it a reasonable expense to get the bulbs from my dealer. They were GBP £6.60 each. Part...

Well I woke up yesterday to find one of my two cats ( JoJo ) died during the night. I had been her guardian for 12 years. She had been diagnosed with a build up of fluid which put pressure on her heart. Apparently nothing could be done to save her. The last day was very hard to deal with; take her i...
