Hi Chopper,

If you are not sure about the Glow Plug Starter, the easiest way to check it is to test it.
Make sure it is charged up fully, remove your glow plug from the engine and place the plug in the starter, look inside the glow plug whilst it is in the starter, you should be looking for a very bright orange glow, This glow can almost appear white sometimes, that is a very healthy glow and will start your engine no problem.

If you are still unsure about the starter, they are cheap enough to replace, I use a Pro-tech one which is rechargeable and comes with the charger. They only cost about £10.

The Glow Plug itself is another consideration, there are many different makes out there but I have found the most reliable and best ones to be OS or Enya Plugs. They may cost slightly more but they do seem to last longer and the performance on these speaks for itself.

Regards.......Mark.

Hey all, I've just started to build this kit (well, intended to start) for my brother.
Firstly - what greases and glues are recommended for this project? The hachette book doesn't really specify what you need.. and only mentions you need it when you're half way through a issue.

They have a picture of Loctite 406 for high strength, and Loctite 243 for thread lock. - I do have some loctite 401 laying around, would this be ok?

Can normal car grease be used in the diffs? or possibly sewing machine oil? Or can someone recommend a grease to purchase (i'm in Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Australia).

Because of the lack of those items there's not much I can do at the moment

With the dampers there is a o-ring that goes somewhere on the fake reservoir thing - where exactly does it go? the instructions are too vague for me :|, does it stretch outside the thread of the damper housing? or sit on the rubber cushion thing, or go inside against the white bevelled thing

Also, what issue do the servo's come in? or are they seperate with the controller (which I don't beleive I have)

-- As you may be able to tell I haven't attempted this type of thing before.
I have worked on real cars though, and do have a lot of trouble understanding some things.
