Blanking oil return hole for mech tensioner upgrade

I've been supplied a fastener kit from Highwood alfa to install the tensioner - now - all the literature I've found on the net, together with the video on the cardisc all say to drill and tap the retu...

Remove door handle

Hi all Just picked up my '82 gtv6 2.5 on saturday. Love the car, drove it from the sellers' house in liverpool to london. Anyways, as ever I already have a super-long list of things that need sorting, one of the first things, is that there are no keys for the door locks. So I need to get that sorted...

GTV6 box made of glass?

I haven't bought my GTV6 yet, but its on the cards. I have test driven two already, one with a lot of miles on it and the other with very few. In both cases I found the gearbox very awkward... in respect of gear changing speeds. It feels like you need to double clutch when putting in first at idle, ...

Naah, its cool... I found one. Very neat for R35k. White, untouched, 100% original, even the original wheels and steering, never dropped, no tears in the seats... done 89000km, even the tappet covers are still the original aluminium colour... never painted.... I'm takin' it... no cracks in dashboard...

yeah, from what I can see this car looks a little abused at some stage of its life... the pink tappet covers, chip out the bumper.. etc, what surprised me though is the original condition of the exterior... even original wheels.... but I dont want to drive all the way out to Brakpan and find its a P...

For real? I need to go look at it, its just real far... so had to be sure... One thing I'd like to know though, the dash.. where does the different dash's come in.... like I've seen a couple GTV3.0's with the three gauges at the driver view and the extra three auxillary gauges... this is the older l...

is this worth it?

Hi guys, Im from South Africa. looking to buy a GTV6 2.5l. A dealer sent me these pics today, and the car is going for the equivalent of US$2000. Lady says she starts and runs, but pops out of reverse... Think it looks worth it? I've got more like US$4000 to spend, should I keep looking to find a la...
