      Big tear in CV Boot, got a 2nd hand axle from the wreckers and it looks like the wrong one.

        Wen't back to the wreckers only to find that my car has some wierd ass Axle thats bigger than normal, So got a normal axle that fitted. Putting it back in found that the other side has a smaller tear on the side. I didn't look to hard in the first place.

          My car's going in storage in about a week or two for the winter months, and all's good...

          Until yesterday. I was driving home from a friend's and I noticed when I started my car, I had lost a lot of clutch travel. I just had the end of it where the friction point was, none of it up high.
          I drive home, carefully, and when I went to start my car later that day, the clutch pedal flew straight to the floor!
          I have no idea what the hell happened, and I now have to get it towed to my garage...

                  Sounds like your clutch slave cyl went out. Check your brake fluid it should be empty.

                  Anyways broken door handle inside, dead battery, no reverse lights, ghetto rigged cai, blown shocks, all bushings are toast fml.

                    no reverse lights
                    rear windows don't work
                    oil pressure light is on, along with a slight knocking at idle
                    re-adjusting valves tomorrow to get rid of the tapping.
                    hopefully I won't be spending money on fixing these things, because I'm saving for
