Vectose' 2000 Type S Legnum
Flew up to Townsville this week and picked up a Legnum.
The automatic box is stuffed and slipping as well as leaking like a sieve.
Picked up a manual conversion from Brisbane on the way back.
Drove it home in 4th gear without any major issues.
About 30km down the road I started to hear a knock, pulled over to have a look. ALL the lug nuts were loose.
Tightened em up and I was on my way again.
It does have an overheating issue. I'm thinking thermostat isn't opening all the way.
Right hand indicator doesn't work when pushed all the way, but works when it's held part way. Will open it up and see if I can fix it.
Few scrapes on the body and a section of clear coat that's peeling that I'll need to respray.
Engine bay wiring is dodgy, whenever I move the AFM wiring it bogs down then throws up codes but have a spare loom that will be going in. (Thanks to FTOwnage)
Will be pulling the engine and box out soon, while it's out I'll do the timing belt, water pump, seals lifters etc.
Also need to rebuild the manual box before it goes in.
Bought a set of EVO 7 wheels with near new Pirelli tyres for $500.

Don't think he'd be interested in the trip. haha
He's had his FTO for 10 years or so.

Open the jap manual alongside the fto manual. The index is the same, the wording is pretty much the same, just need the jap manual for tensions/numbers/pictures.Vectose wrote:That and the Japanese workshop manual.PHIL069 wrote:Nice one Rob
