Hi everyone,
Sorry for tardy response - been in hospital. Thank you very much for both the car's history and the brake advice. When I bought the car the gearbox was not engaging 3rd & 4th. I think I already mentioned buying a car from Japan which I had stripped over there and shipped in - no car import duty. This was a low miles '96 car. Believe it or not it added up to less doing this and transferring all the drive train to my car than the prices quoted for sorting the high gear clutch out on the original 'box. The brakes do have fresh DOT 4 fluid and I appreciate the feel could be improved with Aeroquips but the actual problem is inconsistent vibration. I have to say this is getting better as miles pass. I'm a bit bothered about the tiny clearance the front calipers have though which is about a millimetre from the rim. I don't think any bearing wear will go unnoticed! Wheels are 'Shneider' according to the centre caps.
The previous owner must have completed the camber mod as the rears now do kiss the arches lightly when pushed as we transferred the rear strut/hubs complete. I will change the bolts over. All the best, Steve.
