Hi Could any body help. I have got a RRC 3.5 EFI 1987 with 39000 miles but I saw it has just started to leak some oil onto the top of the water pump. I have removed the Inlet manifold and found the gasket was all out of shape. Please see my photos. Would any body have any idea's why???? regards Mark

No it was to big. So what I did was get two new wiper arm with hook ends. I then removed the rivets I was able to remove the arms and springs. I did the same with the new arms and changed them over. I just could not find and rivets to replace the old ones so I put a bolt though with a lock nut on the end. Works a treat. mark

Just got the P38 wiper system so will have ago over the weekend.

Would you think a P38 wiper motor and arms would fit???????

Hi Could anybody help. I have got a 1987 RRC and the wiper arms connect with the blades with a small pin. But in the rain they are not the best. Would anybody know if there is a upgrade wiper arm kit. I got new ones but when I went to fit them I found the new ones had smaller holes than the old ones. Regards Mark

I would like to thank you all. Got under the car today and it was the wrong way around. I have ordered a new ball joint and repainted the A frame. Regards Mark

Please see my photos in the gallery for the painted A frame

Hi I hope someone could help me out?? I have got a 1987 RRC 3.5 EFI. After to got the car I found that the old rear axle had a lot of holes in it so I replaced it with a new. All the rear bushes have been replaced. I removed the self leaving unit and upgraded the springs. I have panted all the parts and refit them all. All working great until the rear ball joint broke and came away from each other. After a short drive home I removed the A frame ball joint fulcrum bracket. I got a new ball joint a started to fit it to the car I could get the two nuts a bolts holding the bracket to the A frame arms but when it came to getting the ball joint into the axle I could get into in the hole but not all the war through. I did not mater which way I tried to do it I could only ever get two out of the three to line up. I then remover the hole axle but i still can't get it to line up. Any help would be great regards Mark

That's great thank you

Thanks. Will I need to add any sealer around the composit gasket

Hi Would anybody help me with where to buy the best type of gasket for the valley and rocker covers on a RRC 3.5 EFI. regards Mark

Just done it and had a nightmare when two of the new studs started to spin around with the new nylock nuts. After a hour or so I have been able to remove it again. Not sure why. As I did make sure I banged them in. Just looked at the Unbrako socket head bolts but not sure how they would be secured inside the case. Mark

Hi I am just about to put my rear diff back on to the axle and I have got a new gasket. But would it be better to do it with grease or sealant. regards Mark

Hi I have just changed the rear axle case on my RRC 1987. I put the studs into the case and I thought I banged them all in. I then put the Diff in and started to do up all the nuts when I got to the bottom two. The nuts went on fine until I got to the nilock part of the nut. And the stud and nut started to turn now I cant undo or tighten them up. Would any body have any idea how I could undo the two nuts. Or should I try to cut them off and try again with two new ones. regards Mark

Thank you so much. Just need it to stop raining to finish the job. mark

Hi would any body know the part number for a RRC rear diff nut. I have got new studs that came with the axle case but the old nuts are not that good to go back on a new and repainted diff case. regards Mark

Hi After repainting all my parts I am ready to put it all back together. Is it better to tighten all the bolts once the car is back on the floor and then do them up to the right torque settings. Would any body know what the right settings are for all the bolts. I have uploaded some photos to the gallery regards Mark

Hi just uploaded some photos. It was hard to remove all the bolts. Some I had to cut. The old bushes would not press out so I had to burn them out. I am going to rub down the chassis where this all blots to over the next day or so. Then all I need to do is put it back together. Mark

Thanks for all your help. It has been a bit trying to find the right AF spanners and to undo 27 year old nuts and bolts. some I have had to cut off. Mark

Hi I have got a RRC 1987 and looking to change the A frame bushes and to re paint all the parts. Would any body know all the sizes of the nuts and bolts and the brackets that hold it onto the chassis. I can find any AF spanners to fit. regards Mark

That great I have just got some new heavy duty springs today. I am not looking to load it with anything heavy. so would you say it's better now it gone. mark
