winter refurb

[SteveSPG]

My book definaty says fogs. And the dial next to the binnacle turns them on and off, but switching the dial further turns on rear fogs. I could just call them spotlights ..... But the book and dial tell me otherwise!!

Send me a pic of the boot mod if you wouldn't mind.....

Thanks for the advice. I will get to grips with its I features... Just might take some time as I've promised not to spend too much time fiddling with it........

engines out...definately see where the speed 6 cats exhaust runs near the chassis, and has burnt off the powdercoat, but apart from that, all is well



loom for LS is done, opted to use emerald this time




probably will just post the tam project in the tam section of the forum if anyone is interested....

steering pumps


i've currently fitted an astra steering pump to the griff with the scooby rack.

it works fine. The astra pump provides fluid flow when it senses that fluid is needed, so you have very little assistance unless moving the wheel a lot. n the road this feels ok, but you do have a feeling of heaviness on the wheel at dead centre, when there is no fluid assistance. This might not be the case with smaller tyres, but my 235/40/17 without PAS do need some persuasion to turn...... (hence fitting Pas)

I wanted to try a continuous flow pump, so see if i liked that "feel"......so opted to fit a saxo style pump which was lashed in situ at growl.

after a couple hundred miles, decided i prefer the feel of this, slightly lighter around dead centre without becoming overly assisted, so will probably keep that in favour of the astra unit.

Well, its been fun, but decided to focus on new project...so LS griff is now for sale....unless i change my mind again

Griff has left the garage, off to new (ex griff) owner quinny, looking for a new toy, close by, so hopefully will still see it around...

LS Tamora with tr6060 would be perfect

as suggested, I popped a LS in the tam, along with a 6060, just MOT'd and tidying up a few loose ends, but feels pretty good so far...
