YES!!! I bought a mk1

[DubSteve]

i hope its not a blown head gasket mate!

Well the guy when he was transporting it from his workshop to his house ran out of fuel and all he had with him at the time was 2 stroke oil

He put petrol into it when he made it to a servo but its got like 5 litres of 2 stroke in there, and even though we have had it running for like 3 hours tops and driven it around the block a few times it sounds like feels like it moves but wants to move more, I think it still has some 2 stroke in it lol

Might want to drain the tank Steve.

Might want to drain the tank Steve.

Is there a plug underneath the tank, I know this is very basic but I have no idea

[velly_16v_cab]

no plug, take out the back seat and remove the lift pump and vacum it out (thats what i did)
also change the fuel filter too

Thanks Velly I may do that tonight!

steve, i'd just do a full service. timing belt, oils, filters, plugs etc maybe even water pump. That way you know that everything is topped up and correct, rather than taking someones word for it.

that's what i'll be doing with the diesel once I've got some more money. Damn chrissy presents ha!

Cheers Grant, I will do that when I invest in Coilovers the ride at the moment didn't seem to bad just driving around the streets, possibly in January to lol.

Nothing really man just straight black bumper but I want to get rid of the washer jet style bumper and just have a flat one

[Jarred]

Steve, I donno whether Matt stocks new service parts. Matt?

Exchange rate isn't great but given a decent sized order GAP could be the go, or else, HSy and tooleys are in sydders I think, they import and stock genuine parts. make sure you get mann filters etc, stay away from ryco & etc! :d

hope this helps.
