Restoring a 90's Diesel.
Gentlemen, What are your thoughts on doing a soft-resto on an unhacked Nissan SB14 that has been sitting around for 8 years?
1997 car registered in 2000. Manual gears, 2L CD20 diesel. Single owner -Decased. Family who are known to me - dont use it. Unhacked body and almost pristine interior. Clean body lines, no accidents. Complete car and appears untouched by makabasses. Engine shows signs of under-compression, brakes and clutch-plate need replacing, tyres are on the brink of decomposing. Power mirrors do not work. Needs a paint job. No major corrosion but early-stage rust spots on the boot lid.
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Question
Kcho
Hello All,
I own a Hondal Vezel 2015 Hybrid System.
During servicing this week, my mechanic told me about an oil leak on the clutch drain. Please see attached photo.
Grateful if someone can help me to understand the following:
1. The drain is in-built in the clutch, is it normal that oil leaks through that drain?
2. Is the Clutch faulty?
3. Why does Honda included a drain on the Clutch?
Awaiting your comments and replies.
Thanks.
