there's a leak at the timing chain cover (pretty easily fixed)

a leak at the diff cover (pretty easily fixed)

a leak at the bottom of the sump (wouldnt have a fuken clue how to fix that shit)

and this primary seal leak(not too hard to fix)

but, engine rebuild seems on the cards, cos i get a feeling the previous owner's raped it a bit, and it will help me get a reliable car that puts out some decent power etc

anyone in aucks reccomend anyone?

should save up a bit first

yuh run it for a bit and see how things go. they take a fair but of raping without having any detremental effects.

1275s have chronic valve guide issues though, so that may be a problem for you. they suck oil past the stem seals as soon as there's a bit of wear in the guides. only blow smoke on cold start & overrun though. still pull like a schoolboy

Only place i'd recommend is Onestop Auto,my old mans been there for years.it is in huntly however....

Sounds like you just need new seals/gaskets.

seriously wouldnt bother me if i had to take it to huntly, if i got a good job, for respectable money and with some sort of gaurentee, from guys that arnt gonna rip me off etc then id be more than happy to go there

might aswel go all out Stz to save hassles further down the track i say. New bearings, new seals and gaskets all round etc.

how much you reckon that would cost?
