As mentioned, the steering, after first starting the car, is super hard to turn, and shudders a bit. Once it has been running for several minutes it does improve and drives Ok, however I have noticed it is getting stiffer more recently.
I tried the replacing of fluid exercise using a turkey baster to remove old and add new fluid. This did not seem to make a difference. The old fluid did not look particularly dirty in any event.
Would apptreciate your thoughts. She's been a reliable lady for a long time.
If it is the pump that is failing, can I recondition it somehow, or is it a replacement exercise.
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.
