i am running a K & N X-stream drop base brought it with a 3″ filter, which fitted but i then changed the filter to an slightly shorter…[Read more]

well most of the driveline is back together, had a few issues with extractor fitment and a issue with one of the transmission line fittings that i had intended to use rather than that stock Alloy hardline.

I fitted the Aeroflow ones, bolted the transmission completely in and realized i wouldn’t be able to get a fitting on the top line. So went to…[Read more]

I know the coolant overflow was NLA for years, i was talking about the windscreen washer bottle in the last post, which i did buy new, a few weeks ago.

i know that you cant buy them new anymore, was just thinking about this last week when i was refitting my Windscreen washer bottle into my VS, decided to give it a wipe down as it was dusty and put my thumb thru it…[Read more]

rather than start another thread, i’d thought i’d just ask here again

Would anyone know what thread are the inlet/outlet on a 1998 VS Series 3 v8 Transmission (aka a VT 5lt transmission —8HBD) i’m not sure if its NPT or NPSM or something else entirely
