Post subject: | a bit of a nightmare |
my 944 is turning into a bit of a nightmare ![]() first i found oil in the water so off came the head,gasket ok but with all the pits on it i thought it better to have a new head £100 plus £70 for a skim and crack test. then got an oil cooler cause mine had more oil in it than the middle east, new seal kit £35. checked the brakes discs and pads,pads new rear discs new but the others past there best so got some new ones £32. tried to take the pins out to put new pads and discs on................rusted solid ![]() so looks like new calipers. can some one please tell me what to expect next ![]() moan over Dave p.s. and i aint even started to think about the bit of bodywork yet |

It's all part of lifes rich tapestry. If you paid less than 4K for your '44 then you have to expect a few teething problems! Doesn't sound too bad to me. ![]() |

Yup the first 6-9 months are Bl00dy scary finding out what it's all like, I expected a big bill for the belts but the engine mounts were expensive as they took so much labour. |

all i will say is...... i will look after whoevers car and keep costs to a minimum. yes i'm trying to earn a living but if i spend 8 hours on a car i charge 6, if the hours go over 24 hours i'll drop the hourly rate. if its a simple job of a hour that can be done at the owners home then cover the fuel and make me a coffee ![]() |
