Mixed bag of questions....

(S1.5 2.9 V6)

1) How far back is the handbrake cable adjuster - do I need to be looking at the gearbox end or the diff end?

2) Which side of the 'box is the electronic speedo sensor on?

(The following relate to tappetty sound under load which I suspect to be tappets or oil starvation ..

I'm assuming that being non-cat 2.9 I don't have hydraulic tappets..)

3) Rocker covers: are the gaskets re-usable cork/rubber or will I need a new set after removing the covers?

4) How to verify adequate oil circulation here, aside of starting the engine and covering the bay with oil?

5) Tappet/rocker clearances/tolerances?

so that would put the sensor on the nearside of the car then..

Is the sensor just a screw-in/out job then?..
will the hole gush transmission oil?
any sealants/gaskets I need for fitting new one?
how is accessibility?

so many questions.. so little clue

All help so far much appreciated. I can see myself with a bar bill as big as Mungo's (ahem..) by the time I've paid back all this help in beers

Oil level is good, but the pressure guage really is a mere comedy interpretation of its ilk and nothing more
