I don't understand why they Loctited the transmission mount bolts. I needed the 36" breaker bar to back them out almost the whole way.

You think they coulda spend 10¢ for a lock washer instead of soaking them in a quart of L. Blue.

loctite all over my XJs

I bought 2 x $1 Supercheap 12mm ring spanners, taped them together, slipped the Torx bit in, and a long pipe, so easy

$20, the envelope goes plop in your letterbox, 1hrs work, good to go for another 10yrs

did that repair straight away on all 3..starter motors dont much like a daily oilbath

A joke from my younger years; Why is a rear main seal leak a good thing? It helps prevent rust on your undercarriage! LOL!

The big ones that hold the trans mount to the adapter housing?

I think that was their reaction to the earlier ones that vibrated out.
