Some information about EGRs and turbos (and other stuff) here http://users.on.net/~aschulze/ZD30/ZD30%20Y61%20Reference%20Document%20-%20BW.pdf

Is this a really stupid thing to say, but, why couldn't you fit a dump valve? (before the turbo, and particularly if you were going to block the EGR valve)

Brake load valve It recognises that your rear suspension has compressed somewhat and concludes that there is a load/a number of passengers in the car. When the car is empty the most of the braking is done by the front brakes (because the back brakes are unweighted and would skid if they...

What, a whole new gearbox?

It was a great party. Thank you Rick and Maggs.

And I reckon the bearing on the first motion shaft needs replacing too, might as well do it while the clutch is being looked at.

Yes, totally and utterly barking mad, thanks. Don't try to help me, I'm very happy here, the voices keep me company... Engine, gearbox, transfer box and diff - £100 + easy, the Y60 cost more!

Did anyone else think of the Naked Gun? Oh, just me then...

Sorry to hear. I had to have my precious boy Sam put to sleep in 2006, I was devastated. It does get better, I promise, and one day you will be able to think about Holly and just smile and remember pleasant things. x

5 speed manual. It's a joy to drive, although it needs a service and had a hissy fit yesterday and wouldn't start (blocked fuel filter). I'm sure there will be a few more issues, the teething problems you get with a second hand car. I notice that when you go up a steep hill you have to keep it...

The RAC patrolman was very nice and a good mechanic. By the time he had arrived I had run back upstairs to the office and printed out the ENTIRE 120 pages of the manual - he found this very funny. While I went in again to get the spare key he had got the car started. He said there was air in...

Bad luck! You're not kidding! I bought a trailer yesterday, when I got it home one tyre had shredded off, the jockey wheel is jammed, and the winder-thingy that keeps it from slipping through has been snapped off.
