Well, a little update, been back home this weekend to sort out a few little bits and out some miles on the motor. The was an oil leak coming out the speedo drive seal - problem one of the bolts wasn't long enough, sorted that.  

Been having trouble with my rad hoses too - the keep weeping at the joints. To be fair they're the same one's the car left the factory with so tomorrow i order a set of shiny black samco items

The also seems to be a fair bit of oil coming out of the crank pully seal, and hole in the bottom of the transfer case (indicating the primary seal is leaking. My theory is i've accidently over-filled the oil and so the pressure is too high, as every time i check the oil, its above MAX - but that could just be that the oil hasnt settled yet. So I'm waiting till 2mos to check again.

Apart from those few things i've loved it this weekend - the cars been a beauty, i love it to bits, dunno how may miles i've done but i've used about 1 1/2 tanks of petrol. So i picked up stuff to change the oil next weekend, the mineral was only used to flush the engine through and help the motor bed in. Next weekend the GTX goes in with a new filter, i'll tighten up the head and re-set the tappets then cross my fingers and head to coventry (uni)

If all goes to plan, i should be getting it RR'd in the middle of next week, then off to bingly for the weekend - YAY!!! :D
