Welcome Simon. Look forward to seeing your pictures. Did you get your Legnum from a dealer or through a importer.

You can't see the coolant level now from the outside of the overfill bottle can you?

haven't posted for a while so here is an update, some good and some verry bad news.

currently have 19" rj racing chopper rims on the car with 225/35/zr19 nangkang tyres looks the treat, unfortunately with the weight of the sub box in the boot has seemd to sagg the rear springs making the car sit lower than it should. because of the indipendent suspension the lower the car gets at the back the bigger the camber angle resulting in about 7000km of tyre life

next off my rear left cv joint went but was repaired eaisly cost about 500, which was when i found that my diff was on its way out, oweing to the fact that i had a set of 16" rims on the back and the 19"s on the front cos i couldnt afford tyres straight away... big mistake that was,

so the i got a new diff and fitted it last weekend, everyting went well apart from the fact theres a slight wining noise mainly when i turn corners, might need to bleed the ayc a bit more.

then tragerty, had a split in the top radiator tank for a few weeks, had it patched with some quick steel, the day after i got the diff in, the patch came off, and before the temp gage could warn me the temprature of the engine was too hot, it was too late there was no water left for it to mesure the temp... so it looks like i have blown a head gasket


so the plan at this stage is, finish the pannel work on my other car and get it back on the road, this will leave me time to fix the leggy without doing any more damage to her. and while i have the heads off i might as well take them in for a bit of polishing work

heres some of the latest pics
