Mr2kyle Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi all, In the process of now getting my car mechanically up to scratch. After getting the following: HKS Cam belt Water pump Engine oil Oil filter Fuel filter Cam belt tensioner Aux belt The car has done 102k and also been pretty much sat up for the last 7 years so any advice on other parts that are maybe worth refreshing would be hugely appreciated. Also remember being told something about the valves having something done to them after 60K? Re seated maybe? Reshimmed? Thanks in advance Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Valve stem seals will be what you're probably thinking of. Ideally need replacing but it's not the end of the world as they might still be fine. Just make sure everything is free and not seized such as the brakes, clutch works as it should and no nasty noises when you get the car going again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Might want to put a fuel pump in it after that long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr2kyle Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Thanks lads for getting back to me as quickly as you have. I’ll see and change the gearbox and diff oil as I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll have a look at a few threads to see how I would know if the stems need done. Is there only one fuel pump in these? Any other things that come to mind drop them down. Thanks again folks! Just trying to get my car on the road and have it as well looked after as I can. Cheers Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Kyle Don’t forget to check your fuel lines and brake lines especially where they go through the plastic retainers on the under side I have had two go now and all the underside parts must have surface rust on them wire brush and under seal or paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
