Excellent now that's what I thought Even though I don't like NM torque wrenches. Only reason I didn't go with my hunch and tighten both sequences is the cars bolts are so old some are snapping. Thanks again charlotte

I am no a very very unhappy bunny!! I've refitted the head as per instructions and the dozy info supplied by hayned on the two stages of the bolts (never known to loosen head bolts after torquing them then 2nd stage torque) Stage 1 : 25-29lb (Done) Stage 2 : Loosen stage one then retorque...

4000 miles in one weekend in my 88 1.0 K10 auto. Charlotte

The fit you need is 4x100 pcd, if you want 15inch wheels then it's a max of 45 aspect ratio. Charlotte

Are the head bolts single use like Vauxhalls or reusable like certain Jaguars/Aston Martins/Volvos? Charlotte

Haynes, Nissan and Autodata say to set the idle in Neutral. I'm going to raise the amount of fuel tomorrow as it does seem to be running lean. Charlotte

you don't have a tool next to the nut/bolt when you whack it. It always works and has done no damage yet. not sure about the heating part as the nuts will be steel and the head alloy these two when heated don't mix well and the holes tend to expand a touch.

The autochoke is doing it's thing, the box under the seat is connected. The idling speed was set at around 1600 in N on the autobox so I've lowered it to the 800-/+ 50 rpms and it's a lot worse seem the high idle speed is stopping the thing cutting out. I've replaced all that can be replaced...

Are the nuts and bolts wrung? If not and if it's the first time removal they should come off without problems. The rust should break off without the need to freeze or WD40 it just a good quality socket or spanner and a bit of elbow grease, If it's really tight a gentle whack with the hammer will...

I've just replaced all the pipes on my k10's engine and came across a small brass capsule in the one which leads from the idle control solenoid or anti dieseling soleniod into the small vacuum unit on the carb is this capsule important or another bodge job? I can't find mention of it in the...

I like the fuel economy and dislike the build quality. Charlotte

How much just for the engine ? The box is no good to me as I drive auto. What size wheels does your car have on it if you're selling them? Charlotte

Are the wheels forsale ? If so I'm guessing they're 13inch + how much for the whole set ? Charlotte

You can remove the thermostat the engine will be cool all the while. Check the temp sender to see if it's working or gunky. Check to see if you've got plenty of water in the bottle and not just the radiator. You can check to see if it's the headgasket or water pump or electrical. Remove the...

Get the oil pressure checked also have the tappets checked If the noise is loud on startup but quietens after a while especially when the engine is at operating temp it's oil pressure or oil (cheapo oil is a good one for killing pumps ie £2.50 from the superstore or the £6.50 from Halfords)...

Hi do you have the rear fog lamp? Charlotte Do you still have the steering rack ? If so is it manual one or power type ? will the Super S fit into the standard K10? If you have it would you prefer me to collect or post on a NR2 4BL postal code in Norwich Charlotte

Didn't think of that, for information it is always sticking on the ones you copy from the computer or the CD machine and not premium ones I'll give 6 premium ones a try if it still sticks then it will have to go for service or I'll buy a new one I've found one for £80 Charlotte I've tried 6...

Clean it down to see the damage if there isn't any holes then you could get away with wirebrushing the painting. If you want to see if it will fail the MoT get a small pin hammer and gently tap the area if it falls away it's gonna fail even if the area moves it fails. If you get one of the...

Easy repair as previously said take it to bare metal around 2-4inch around the rust then simply either fill the holes or if you really want use a repair panel then have it welded in. by the looks of it you've lost the top coat of steel. You could always take it to bare metal to see how bad the...

There were mumblings a few years ago that some manufacturers placed chips which had a countdown eprom in them. It was discussed in parliament and in the us senate, of course companies denied it until one of these chips were found. You could be right. Charlotte
