Mate that is not good, is it, but stick at it right up till the end, youll be a happier man if you get the work finished and can take the car.

on the topic of the oil leaky clutch, are you sure the primary gear bush isnt bolloxed??, are you using the specific tool to change the seal?

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Sort it carl. Rear wheel bearing is an easy job. Although not when you've not stopped working on the car for a week and you're knackered and your hands are cut to bits.

Still, sort it.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
