 |
|
Hi there folks, think due to current running temps of 45-50 and a bad misfire that i may need to replace the items listed, i previously tried the thermostat off my spare engine to improve the varying temps and it's now even worse 
Anyone recomend a good (cheap!) source of these parts, am currently financially 'hamstringed' due to throwing all my money into the final big push to get my integrale running, it aint cheap running two italian cars (or owning two and barely running one which would be more accurate...)
Yes, i should change the belts whilst i'm there. And yes if i'm doing the belts, i should do the belt bearings because they're horrid cheap plastic crud that have no place on my beautiful car. Sadly however, my finances are shorter than a midget on his knees...

try your local, as it isnt a specialist item, nor is the thermostat i imagine...
best of luck mate.

Corin,
You think the price of the waterpump is the difficult bit. You wait til you try to get the old one off!
