It happens bugger all so could be a tricky one to find, will try when I get home tonight thou

Very interesting? So the light on the dash should go out? Or stay on when trying to start?

It must have been quite big then? I'll have a looky at this.

So with the wife's old daily. Some times it wont start due to I've worked out the fuel pump not running to prime the system or running to supply pressure. Turn the key off and on it primes and pumps up like normal. Doesnt happen every start just now and then. Any ideas? Has never cut out or stopped once running. Fuel pump has been replaced, I'm thinking it could be the relay?

Righto so no bashy bashy or heat needed. Thou I did learn a very good lesson dont over press the lock rings with a 63t press and two straight bits of steel supporting the bearing. I just thought I'll give it a wee bit more. Must have stretched the rings out shape the farking things fell off! So today armed with new lock rings I used the baby 10t bottle jack press and some better support plates, all went ace. Now to put it all back together.

Replacing the axle bearings in the EH have removed the old bearings and retainer rings, pressed the new bearings on. Best to just press the retainer rings on or heat them up and srink them on? Theres a rubber lip seal in the bearing so cant put to much heat in that area.

Yeah it's got film on it, but I'm wondering if it's got film over a factory tint. Only one way to find out. Now how to get them off!

Does this mean anything?

I think I'll go get it tested by a tint place with a VLT meter and go from there. I have read that some mazda 6 wagons have a light tint behind the drivers seats. This could be why these windows are to dark. Cheers for the info!

Cool thanks for the info. Were could I get the info for a crush space? I could make a new one if need be.

Sweet as will do.

Sweet looks like I need to get it tested then, fark another thing to do ahhhh

WOF gurus could you fill me in on tinted windows, VTNZ has just failed the missus mazda 6 for windows being to dark. It's been tinted for a long time. Is there somewere I can find out the specs and what windows are allowed to be what darkness etc etc. MR VTNZ said it was a new rule.

Diff gurus. I need to change the pinon seal on my EH diff. Can I mark were the nut is currently, count how many turns to undo, replace seal, re-install nut etc to same place. Or is it send to shop and just a new crush tube made etc?

Cheers for the info! This could be the next thing to do. Dizzy all fitted up and running, still got a big hesitation and flat spot at from idle to revving. I need to check timing again to. Need to find out how the Mark's line up again. Is prob the carb as I've never had it off. I might try giving it a clean out to keep it running while finding the other bits to put the weber on it. I see a couple of companys make a adaptor plate from the weber to the original manifold.
