That space works - hope it got a heater - I've got snow in West Hobart!
Yeah no heater in there, was bloody cold last night haha yeah we had snow there, we are only about 100m above the Derwent at Glenorchy haha
Yeah its on Gumtree, seeing if anyone wants it, its too nice for a track car, and I don't need another road car, got 2 already and 2 more project cars so if someone wants it its there haha



Should make a difference

Superpro Poly? Let me know how it feels. Usually a bit hard aren't they?
Seems better, taken a lot of roll out of the front of the car. Were only $12.50 so they are the right price!
Before engine mounts

After mounts

Been daily driving this for a week, has a squeak in the front suspension when turning, any ideas? i havent really looked to see what it is haha
Is there an image somewhere of the shifter linkage setup? mine is really floppy

1200kms this week without missing a beat on not quite 2 tanks of fuel
Every 240 I've owned I turned self lubricating nylon bushes for the shifter.
Makes a huge difference...
Yeah I couldn't remember if my old wagon was this bad, its got maybe 70mm movement I recon, mainly to the passengers side. My brother put the linkage back in so maybe he missed a bush

About to bite the bullet and buy another kingswood too I think, so if anyone wants this make me a half reasonable offer and its yours haha

How much are the injector thingys meant to move? Mine have probably 2mm movement in them and when water etc gets around them it tries to stall the motor


Needs injector seals. Last time I got them in Hobart was from the injection place in Bathurst street but I'm not even sure it's still there lol. There's usually a fair wack of side to side slop in manual 240 sticks, forward back and it's not so good. I'm gonna one up snoopy and offer $51!

Thought that might be the case, automotive service solutions or something I think, still there I'm pretty sure!
How do you pull the injectors out? Would explain the kinda rough idle it has too I guess!

Yeah the side to side makes it a little vague to get into second gear that's the main problem
There's a few guys on the forum that can sort you out Angus or mark, better value than the auto stores

Cool I'll try and sort something out with them! This doesn't look right to me, seems a bit off centre to the passengers side




volvodriverman;82429 wroteCould have a soggy or broken mount perhaps?
Yeah I had a look and ran over everything, I've got it better by loosening the mount and pushing it over a bit but the mount looks soft from being twisted for a long time because of the engine mounts, it works heaps better now anyway so that will do for a bit haha
Slave cylinder rebuilt,



Master cylinder off for a rebuild. When the engine mounts were busted it leant over so far its hit the reservoir which has busted the seal and cracked it. Anyone in Tassie got a good one they want to sell?




Exactly that happened to one of mine....
The other type of master is designed better and won't break if the motor hits it...
Happen to have another one Greg?

Got injector seals today, pricey little things.



Will probably pull the injectors out of my spare motor and then I can just swap these over easily
