Don't worry about the miles, if they are maintained correctly the engines are super reliable. I've clocked 107K on my QV, and it's still going...
I installed the Unobtanium seals. There is only one seal, maybe they sent you the original o-ring type seals in case you give up trying to fit the...
Some people have no taste :)
I used the Unobtanium seal. It works well, no leaks in the 5 years since installing. Just note that it does make the shifter a little harder to...
Or you could do what I did and buy a can of tyre foam and a 12v compressor. For the rare occasion you might get a flat - it's enough to get you...
oh yeah, i forgot i did that to mine! [ATTACH]
It's a pretty easy and fun job - as opposed to some of the other jobs on the 308 :)
Close to 40-year-old car that's only travelled 364 miles a year! People need to get out more and enjoy these cars while they can :)
Interesting, if it is a rear calliper issue, then its either the seals that mates the two halves of the calliper, or the mating surface around...
I work on the theory if it was there from the factory, then there is a very good reason for that! From memory it goes in from the top once you...
I rebuilt the calipers on my 308 a few years ago. No issues with the rears. Generally, if they are leaking, it can be seen pretty easily. The...
Just noting my 308QV is a late '84, and those markings were stencilled on in white on my car. That looks like someone may be rebuilt the...
it's possible the air fuel ratio might be out. they are not set and forget - as parts wear with time. i image that is a cat car, so could also the...
My AC technician included some additive when he charged my 308QV with R134 two years ago. It's still going well and hasn't leaked out. But he told...
Agree with above. Drop the gearbox cover and see what happens when you go through the gears. Most likely someone who didn't know what they were...
Dinosaurs ... Naaa! Like everything in this world, it is cyclic. Same wars, same famines, same diseases, all the same issues. Technology evolves...
Oh... that's a different ball game completely. Not sure much can be done about that? Where the guides re-machined? That is the only thing that can...
I'd re-check the adv/ret of the cam relative to the crank. 100% way to tell if you are getting contact is to use a piece plastecine in the valve...
get yours re-built ... new parts are mostly rubbish!
looks like it was leaking from the seal between the bottle and the motor, and someone thought they could repair it with sealant rather than...
