    CarParts4Less/Euro Car Parts

    Whilst building my first engine from the ground up from my bay, I've been building a spreadsheet of all of the usual suspects (VWH, M7, Cool Air, GSF/VeeWee etc.) prices for the parts I needed; so I could pick the cheapest places for each part and save a little bit of cash. In the process I had...

    RED9 EZ-Rider issues

    Evening, Just wondering if anyone has had or is having the same issues as I am with the RED9 EZ Rider kit (torsion leaf replacement bars + coilovers). I have got a fair bit of play in the top arms, which would appear to be caused by wear in the Red9 bars. The beam has always been well greased...

    Flywheel oil leak, high oil pressure and burning oil

    I've been fitting and sorting out an engine for my bus for the last week. I started it up today and its burning oil, running 65psi oil pressure at cold idle (over 100 psi at 3000 rpm) and pissing oil out of the bell housing. I replaced the flywheel oil seal in the engine with a dual lip version...

    External oil cooler

    Hi, Been recently looking into replacing the doghouse oil cooler with an adaptor plate to hose in a oil filter and then into a separate oil cooler with fan.
