I couldn't find my earlier posts about the air thermostat in the air filter box.
It appears threads started on 'Stats' after 5 years are consigned to the bin and I am not going to wade throught my posts! However, I did happen to find an 'opened up' air filter box in the garage with a dead air thermostat and attach pics herewith. The thermo fits into the the plastic end of the spring and locks/slots into the clip to hold it in place. I notice that the air thermo and flap part is held by two plastic tags top and bottom rather than plastic rivets as I imagined earlier. The tags just push inwards to release before you hammer the two halves apart. They are brittle and you will have to block them off with duck tape on re-assembly and then drill a couple of holes into the re-joined assembly to fix with a couple of self-tappers. Bob |

Thanks Bob.
Knowing that two parts are meant to come apart, rather than not meant to do so, is half the battle. Then one can devise a method to attempt to separate them without damaging them beyond redemption.
Thanks for the pics. Is that first pic showing part of the filter box, on the left, with the air intake where the flap and stat are partly removed?

No, that's the bottom ball joint from what i can see Chris. You've captured the front spaceship bush in your image though, the rear one is behind it as part of a "mirror image" highlighted in green :
They are generally known as "control arm to tie rod bushes" when you go hunting on fleabay if you find play in them. You'll need a crowbar or other similar lever to detect it though.

Go for superflex poly bushes if you do replace the spaceship bushes. You can buy direct from Superflex

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393618696744 Also if it's a keeper, follow Marks suggestion and go for polyurethane bushes, you should be able to re-use the washers but you'll need some Loctite 431 or similar thread locking compound and a good torque wrench for the centre bolts - if memory serves they're about 90lbft but i'd have to check and confirm. Also once you've fitted them, fit the centre bolt without threadlock to start with and bounce the car a few times to settle them then re-torque and bounce again and check the torque is still as it should be. If it is, remove the bolt, add some threadlock and refit, torquing to the correct figure - note that the bolts should be tightened with the weight of the car on the wheels, they wheels can be turned for easy access. If you'd prefer to go for a wallet-friendly bush : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324790068913 You'll need 4 (2 each side) and there used to be a kit available of 2 bushes, sleeve, washers and new bolt but that seems to have disappeared.

Changed the bushes this morning. Quite easy compared to other repairs I have done on the car. They didn’t look too bad in terms of wear.
Got it booked in Friday to get the alignment checked. Hopefully the new bushes mean the front can get aligned properly this time. |
