first thing i did was upgrade the brakes because they wer in dier need of changing!!! as the pics will show i also undersealed the car up to the mounting points for the axel
Soon after a problem arissed where it would start over heating but for some reason a quick blip of the throttle dropped it down to normal, my first thought was thermastat and water pump. when i looked further into the cars history i found that there was a bill for the water pump being changed at the same time that the cambelt was done so that left me thinking faulty therastat!!! i changed it and as the pics show below it was only opening half as much as it should and also about 7 deg later leaving me to believe this could be the problem.
The thermostate change has not sorted the problem tho so next time i get paid im goin to order a heater contol valve as the 1 on mine seems to be faulty and the heater is never as hot as i should be, also in looking into my problem further this seems to be the most likely reason why the temp is so wild as it is i dont know the reason for this but i have been researching for a couple of weeks and every time points to this part being faulty
the wishbones, drop links and arb bushes need changing so there also getting bought when i next get paid and im getting them painted red at work so they dont go rusty like most parts once the crappy paint comes off will upload pics when done,
