the main ECU feed from the battery terminal.

clutch will be warped casuing the judder, go do some burnouts and see if it clears it, just need to hope the clip doesn;t go.

umm i dont think it will cope with any burn outs

could it be anything at all todo with steering as im not getting a great lot of pos feedback through the wheel

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

could be anything but a judder is drivetrain not steering.

I assume you don't want my cloths anymore then?

You fancy some nice leather instead? Obviously you pay for the leather.

my blue one juddered alot when turning left and booting it. That was down to the iner CV of the o/s driveshaft being fucked. that might also be somewhere to look.

nice car anyway matey.

oooo what about ABS? and phat drive shafts?

Retroholic Joined: 23 Dec 2005 Posts: 3315

yesterday i finally got it off the ground and it seems lower than all my others case the jack wont fit at all underneath Laughing

after i got it up i started to look around to what could be causing the nasty feedback through the wheel from the N/S, first i checked round wheel, if you spin it there is a grinding sort of noise, hummm checked 1 CV and that was fine so up came the hood to see the other, fine aswell, but when i was feeling around it the drive shaft is really loose (can push and pull it around) and is noisy, so im guessing this is the prob so bugger i have to buy a new driveshaft i thought, but no i found one closer to home (ashys spares department Laughing

) a nice shinny as new for a non ABS car N/S driveshaft result!!!

only problem is now is that i have a broken wheel lock key (thanks last owner!! Wink

) and i have no socket that 30mm todo the hub nut!! doh!! so im waiting till later when my mate gets here with the tools

apart from that i am doin a yellow strut brace and doing my spare cam cover dark green, also on the weekend i am gona be de-greasing the engine as best as i can and giving it a once over with a pressure washer..
(any pointers welcome!!) also i think i will be changing the plugs and leads as im not getting what i want in the low down revs..

i also need the drain thingy that goes below the vent as i dont have one and its getting to be rainny again so if you have a spare let me no

more pics soon Very Happy

since im waiting for tools i started some other more minor jobs

1st was oil pressure switch but after a few different attempts i thought beter and to wait till i whip the lump ot for a decent going over..

2nd was to fix the driers side window as it stops about a inch or two away from closing... i think it is just pure old age stopping this babby closing fully

3rd was drivers side central locking again past it and for the scrap heap aswell as the door card is well shabby

so looking for these three items now...

window thingy makes it rise and fall (?) Laughing

central locking pump (drivers side)
and 2 door cards (minter than mint)
