First GTO ..MK1

Cheers…i need an owners handbook anyhow as there is no service history with the car…i want to log my services…can i acquire one from the shop?..

Welcome buddy. Look forward to seeing some pictures. As others have said sign up as a full member. For the £20 it costs you will get an invaluable amount of information on all the technical pages. As for the manual definitely get it from here rather than ebay. The one on here is used and loved by owners from the club so you know what you are getting. Ones on ebay could be anything. There are a couple of other NI owners knocking around. There is definitely one on facebook that i dont think has made it this way yet. I will ask her about good service places and pop up here if she knows of anywhere.

Sorry she doesnt know anyone as her Fiance does the work!

Thanks
ok so i can buy the owners manual here on usb ,but can i acquire the service book ‘‘paper’’ so i can keep my service intervals and milage logged?

Cant seem to be able to start a new topic?

Can anyone tell me the size of the oil drain plug and gear box drain plugs on a 92 mk1 …
I plan on replacing these with magnetic bungs…

Rob can give you the sizes, think the sump plug is 12 or 13mm, replace the washer so that it forms a good tight seal. The under bonnet heat shield as Craig has already said is best from a main dealer. I bought mine from the main dealer, tell him/her you belong to a GTO club and what discount can I get, I saved 20% so well worth it.

Oh! and welcome to the club, they are mad here but it’s great!!!

Thanks Terry…
If yer reading this Rob let me know sizes for both sump and gear box
asap…is there a double sump in these gearboxes?

Terry ,how is the under bonnet heat shield fitted,screws or
glue?..wondering how easy or difficult it will be to remove the old one?..

thanks

You squeeze the clips with pliers and pull put the little circles mate its easy.

Have someone help you fit the new one as it will ‘fold like a piece of paper’ if you don’t, polish up the ally plate too, makes more bling underneath. :blush:
You can see my OCD too as all the clips face the same way :+1:

Ok so got the car to mot and a few things needed attention
Its at the garage having the exhaust welded and a couple of inner drive boots fitted
All in all i was pleased at the outcome of the mot…As soon as its passed i intend having the brake discs and pads changed.Rob has offered me a set of DBA front discs which i will fit along with a new set of rear discs from my local motor factors.There is an aftermarket breather system fitted which i intend removing and replacing with the original box and as stated above the bonnet heat shield will need replaced…A full service is needed and a few bits of trim…passenger door speaker grill and drivers inner door latch surround and a damm good coat of polish and wax…When i get the car home i will have a few pics uploaded …
