Southam Warwickshire, added to profile sorry. I shall be buying a complete engine, box & tfr box from same vehicle. Not sure whether I'll need different crossmember etc?

Am wanting to convert 90 to V8 auto with LPG. Anybody got time, facilities & skill to do it? If so how much & how long. Thought in these tough times their might be somebody stuck for work & would rather not pay garage rates. Thanks, Dave

Anybody know whether this would be an easy fit into a diesel 90 or are they a different length bellhousing etc? It's a 3.5 EFI if that helps.

Do you mean jsut bolts as a replacement as I can't see how you use nuts & bolts or am I being thick? Surely you have to be spot on with length.

Anybody got any ideas or recommend the best way to remove a sheared exhaust manifold stid? Trouble is it's sheared off below the level of the manifold but removing the manifold is really difficult, so I'm trying to do it in situ. It's a Nissan engine but I wondered if there's a special tool that would fit inside the hole? Thanks, Dave

Hi, Anybody done it, doing it? Any thoughts on how difficult it would be? Or shall it be V8 on gas? Decisions, decisions!

Just seen 222,000 come up, thought a quick survey would be interesting to see what the highest recorded mileage is?? Maybe should be linked to age to see what highest annual mileage is. Mines a 1986.

Thanks, how about if I use spacers?

Hi, Will genuine deep dish alloys fit on a drum braked 90? Ta

Great thanks for that.

Hi, I'm trying to sort the heater out, aren't we all! Have had box off & the seal to the b/head is all torn & perished. Craddock quotes 2 which I can't work out which it is. Any ideas please? Is it either MRC8378 or STC952 or am I completely wrong? Thanks, Dave

It's got to be the wrong part as it's a good couple of inches different. Looking at pic's on ebay they look different to mine. Oh well put it back together & to hell with it!

Well......... I beg to differ! I've just stripped it all out and the replacement (straight pipe) has proper top & bottom like a normal radiator. The old one is just a matrix. New one much taller so doesn't fit. Are there more than one type?

Can you replace the matrix with curved pipes to one with straight pipes? If so any tips to help in replacing? Thanks, Dave
