Well, gut instinct is, if it doesnt even run, the gaskets must be well and truly shot! has it got any compression? Not sure what he means about water got inside the engine?? If the gaskets have gone, then it will just be coolant mixed up with the oil, resulting damage will depend on how long the car...

Shures is right. THere is nothing wrong with the motors themselves, I have never had a problem with the motors, they only go wrong when they meet more resistance than they are designed for. The wire barrel mechanism is what knackers the motors, check it out. I took both of my barrels apart and clean...

have you timed a 0-60mph? on a US version it should be around 8.5 to 9 seconds from standing.

Boring I know, but how about white? You see very few Gtvs in white,Ive seen one or two in white , and with a bit of blsck trim here and there, and colour coded spoilers, skirts it really looks very up to date.

ah good to see some local boys with proper cars I am also one of the chosen few gatwick, west sussex. will post some piccies of my beast soon, once new wheels are fitted.

Andy, are those the SZ wheels? what size are they? they look bigger than the standard 16" SZ rims. look bigger than mine anyway.

If it is prices, Im packing up and starting an alfa busnniess in oz

Theres no water getting into the cabin, carpets or door trims, I just dont like the idea of water running into my nice new doors, or the body work, it just makes even more work, having to pull the interior apart every 2 years to hoover all particles, bits of leaves, seeds and crap from the bottoms o...

eh? who is that?

Hi all, after trying Highwood motor company, and eb spares without success, im hoping that I can soucrce the following from the US or OZ. I am looking for the lower window seals for all windows, ie front doors, rear windows, triangular windows etc. These are the seals that stop water running into th...

jisop, all may not be lost. I have had v12 aero engines lose compression whilst stored inside a workshop within 6 months, because they were not filled to the top with oil and inhibited. The motor my have been in a garage, but 1) all the oil would have drained out of the top ends, and 2) the piston r...

How long had the 3.0 l been sat around out of the 75 before you got it? was it stored outside? Maybe you can go to the work shop and politely ask the mechanic to show you the lack of compression on 2,3,6 so that "you can understand what is going on", ie play a bit dum. that way you dont in...

mmelton no problem, I know whats its like, I never seem to get all the bits I want to get done on my gtv :lol: As far as taking the cover plate off, its fine so long as you dont introduce any grit into there, just a question of sealing it properly afterward. All the electrical connectors are inside,...
