I've had enough.
I bought a RRC last Feb. I knew it would be unreliable, need jobs doing etc and I wasn't wrong. It's just that every job, simple on a german car, turns into a massive ordeal. I drove it home and a few times before the centre viscous packed up. Changed that then gave it a service. Then the temp started climbing whne driving. So i changed the water pump, thermostat all the belts etc - again was a horrible chore - then had water leaks, redid some of the earlier jobs again.
Finally after months of fiddling, i got it finised today. I started it up........and out comes smoke from the belts/pulley area.
I closed the garage door and I never want to see the thing again.
In general its a nice example, used to run beautifully, got leather and all the toys, suspension works etc. I wonder if I'm better off breaking it for parts of selling it as a repairable?
