Car stuck/jammed in 1st gear after service :(

VERY LUCKY!

I have a feeling you guys filled the gearbox through the gearbox 'breather' tube?

That would've taken FOREVER! lol

Funny dudes. Catch you at the meet Chris ;)

Haha,yeah,we couldn't find the filler hole cause the manual is wasy different than my auto :)

But Phew,yeah,all good!!

A bit of a clean,cold air ducting (we bought the bits today) and adjust the tappets and it looking good.I didn't have my small rachit on me to get the rear bolt on the cam cover off.Anyone with a y4 and probably all d-series would know of the bastard bolt I mean.You need a small rachit with the 90 degree kinky socket bit and a 10mm socket.I would be suprised to hear anyone has got that sucker off any other way?!

I would still like to grind the rivets off the tps sensor,replace them with bolts and set the tps voltage.THEN she will be running good!

btw we:

* Replaced the fuel filter
* Oil filter and oil
* Transmission fluid (just hehe)
* Suburu upper engine cleaner
* cleaned the spark plugs and spark plug cylinder holes (bit of carby cleaner and tissues down the shutes.Swirl it around a bit then drag it out.Works like a charm!)
* Adjusted idle via the idle adjust screw,it was low,so it just needed to be turned out until it idle fine.
* Swapped tyres,front to back,back to front.
* Got rid of some emissions crap.
* Cleaned air filter (just tap the crap out,then vacumn it if you wish)
* Cleaned the contact points in the dizzy (Flat screwdriver) and rotor edge (sand paper)
* Degreased and cleaned the engine bay!!

hehe GOOD TIMES!!

Apart from the transmission :) Chris's engine is the same.

Glad to hear it worked out for you guys. Very lucky indeed.

Glad you'll both be at the cruise now!

Using rods down the panels he gently massages the dent back outwards.

Youtube: "paintless dent removal" and you'll get the idea.

If the car wasn't black and most of the dents weren't on crease-lines in the panels i'd have a shot at it myself (seen the guy do it tonnes of times at work).

It's actually pretty interesting to watch. Good money maker too!

That's brilliant!!

Thank for that mate!!
