Thought I'd post an update of our recent adventures in 300D land.

axle boot ripped, and led to a noisey CV. Bad news as kelly was on the way to meet a client. Limped home and decided it was time to replace them both, seeing as all the boots looked near failure. Found some A1 Cardone rebuilt axles with new CV's for 120 each. I know, they aren't the best but it was a good deal and the car is running great with them for now. I've noted the mileage and am curious to see how they hold up.

replaced rear diff. oil with synthetic.

I'm also happy that the loud "clunk" that used to happen when selecting reverse is gone. yay!

rear brake soft lines were discovered to be old and cracked. Bad.
so i picked up some new lines from my local shop, that continually has great parts, and found them to have a TUV rating on them. Nice! Also found that they have an excellent selection of Lubro-Moly diesel oil and additives. Going to try it on the next oil change.

New bosio nozzles have about 2500 miles on them now and she is running great. There is still a small amount of startup nailing still, very small, but i'm thinking of having them balanced soon as I didn't when they were installed.

Oil consumption is still not good, but its liveable. Maybe when school and work lets up i'll get around to that compression test I've been wanting to do. Then figure out where to fix that issue, if its fixable. Maybe a new set of guides in the head? I dont know.

Happy Motoring,
brer
