I want to remove my oil cooler to fit a short down pipe, does anyone know what I need? Am I right in thinking that I just need to plug the two feed/returns and remove a bolt the diverts flows to the cooler? Thanks !

I have a strange problem. My OE digital speedo appears to have reset the km's. Not the trip km's but the main reading. Or am I being a bit thick and not pressing correct buttons or need to press one. I have read through and tried red and blue combinations to no avail. My speedo now says 50km's

TTR Steve has always been a bit less than enthusiastic about taking on mechanical jobs. His excuse being that something always seemed to go pear shaped on his projects.

Every day is a school day! Although it was possible to adjust the clutch on Steve's 350 build to get the pointer in the correct position (see here), the bolt did seem a long way in. Shoulda realised that the bolt was from a 6-plate clutch and Steve was upgrading to a 7-plate which, ideally, requires a long...
