dance of joy!!! 700 1985


Ain't nothing that half a can of Inox and lots of persistance can't fix!!!

After leaving the wastegate last night I noticed it was not so seized today when I checked it again, I got like a little more easy movement, about a 1/10 of an inch or so, so I figured what the heck and sprayed the crap out of it with a tonn more Inox, then just let it soak inbeetwen moving it back and forth.
And bugger me if all of a sudden it just mostly let go and opened a full inch or so, and after a bit more work it's getting looser and looser!!!

So I've just saved myself who knows how much in whatever it would have taken to pull anything off or take it in somewhere.

I must say though Inox works damn well, only been using the stuff about a year or so but it's so much better than anything else I've used in the past.
