these are a few of the main items for your average 100thou mile s2 that will soon need replacing,not in any order.

fuel pump/bracketry
bushes/pipe clips
handbrake cable/brake caliper seals/rubber hoses
tcas/wheel bearings
rear light gaskets
steering column bushes
wipers

just out of intrest ,anyone would like to warn/inform of other items that are due or overdue for replacement bearing in mind,we feed our cars tyres,discs/pads and shoes,petrol/oil filters,exhausts/wheels,all belts,and have done our suspension/springs mods.

 

Battery tray

 

Mines has 3 engine rebuilds and 10 gearboxes and its still only on 50,000 miles.

 

Rear arches

 

definately brakes, im 6k short of 100k and just sorted them out
(finally) today

 

cam. every 100 miles lol

 

glad mines just sitting "like an ornament " so im told.

the best is the cam every ton of miles

 

ive said it before, and im even more convinced now, the more u drive them, the better. All the niggly shit gets sorted quicky - as u have to.

 

true,my tyres with loadsa meat on em are cracked to sheeet,

 

You moaned and bitched about it not running right, i hleped you fix it, and now ou don't drive it you tart

My regular serviceable item would be fuel pump relays

 

never had a problem with them, until i took one out to lend a friend. It's was intermintant after that. Big thing i found is they dont prime. One i got is mint now

 

10 Gearboxes! LOL

 

I think the main problem with them lies in the fact THEY ARE SHIT INSIDE, a bit on the limit in terms of current rating, and once the pumps start to wear they tend to burn out. My cabriolet munched one up in a couple of thousand miles, i could smell burning for ages until i decided the smell was the car rather than outside, caught it just in time i think

I've never taken one out of a car that hasn't showed signs of overheating either...

 

Straight up m8 only 50,000 miles ??

 

come on Andy, you should be able to get clever with a soldering iron ans stop the current burning the tracks out,i nearly set mine on fire in my mates cab then i went over mine with solder and a few bits of copper and its been swwwweeeeeet ever since, copes with the current draw no problem

 

Firstly.........Me..........and Clever............a rarity to see both words in the same sentence

Its not the tracks burning out......its the fact of having that one tiny little pin flowing 16A to the spade connector. If i wasn't going over to EFI i would wire it up with a 30A relay.

 

u should see the size of my soldering iron..

 

Wow thats a new name for it, never heard that one before.

Anyway back on topic

 

Ahh yes, but it's not exactly your 'average' rst is it

 

Really???? What is SOOOO special about it then?

 

I'd be more inclined to say it was the driver that was "special", not the car

 

But I can get away with it because we are mates

 

no cant drive the car as its still not ready ,tcas to go on and springs to fit,

but when its done thatll be it for a couple of weeks

 

telt yeah!
