yeah, Motorist ?

Down to £13,900 now Running engines make £10k, sell the engine and do a M57 swap then take it to AMOC events to see people's head explode

192k mile DB9 £16k Full Aston history £100k in service receipts

As long as the pcv valves are changed on the spark plug service and the oil level regularly checked there reliable

They're not that costly to maintain as long as you can do it yourself, they're just awkward as f**k to work on so the big service bills are mostly labour, the engines rarely give much problems and the gearbox is just a 6HP from BMW etc of that era, rear diff's s**t themselves occasionally buts...

The brake system is a diagonal split so you can have more effort on one side to the other through the rear compensator if it's faulty, I would also look at bad corner weights if the car is on coilovers and hasn't been corner weighted and has considerably less load on the corner with the...

I took the Cup for a early morning drive this morning, there's still nothing that can touch them for driver engagement sub £10k.

The Headlight level sensor ball joints can cause random squeaks when they start to seize, iirc the Passat CC has one on all 4 suspension arms, just spray some wd40 in the joint and see if it stops.

It'll open the valve in sport +

You need a Renfort plate or fit a 182 diff

Lead shot in the selector rod tube or pms did a weight you bolted to the selector rod, it helps but it wasn't a 100% fix

A clutch is a piss easy job on the Mk7 anyway Also look into the clutch delay valve mod to, it's worth doing regardless.

The timing chain tensioners let go occasionally and water pumps leak fairly often, Also the stereo can just decide it dosen't want to work anymore and they're £500 -1000 to replace. Still bloody good cars though

Or worn synchro's ( usually after low oil level because the offside driveshaft seal is leaking )

Check you have battery voltage down the small wire to the alternator with the engine running, If you do the alternator's toast and needs replacing If no voltage you have a wiring issue on that wire.

Looking for an exhaust for my 172 cup, has anyone heard of GT Performance exhaust from France ? The quality looks decent and reasonably priced .

245nm =180 ft lbs sounds a bit high I would guess 170hp and 150 ft lbs is probably more realistic

Same jets, new float valves gaskets and set the floats to correct height

Someone please Photoshop a Winchester into that picture

Anything that's over 40 years of age becomes mot exempt the following April, The official line is that classic cars are better maintained, in reality there was a massive MOT data transfer a few years back and they couldn't be arsed to do all the older stuff ( most of which only exists in...

A bit of sunshine and all the s**t with the RAC is forgotten, I think it out cools the 240 this one.

Saudis have upped oil production based on the C10 usage

At some point in its life will have been, just not today edit, Dale does know you check it with the engine running, doesn't he ?

Probably goes a bit better with some fluid in the trans too

It ain't 1.08 a litre anymore

£1 = 1 mile 'ish you have to be a proper petrol head for this kinda stuff

Manual tensioner on the 172 cup, you should be able to turn the belt to 90 degrees on its longest run with two fingers if that makes sense

71' C10's were rated at 240hp ( when new ) so should be fine It'll be near the limit for full throttle pulls for prolonged periods but I don't think it'll be an issue as thats probably not what's it's going to be used for, the fuel tank is behind the bench seat back and pretty much at the same...

We're impressed how nice it is overall, obviously the 3 mile range it has before having to have a siesta is a bit limiting but it'll get sorted
