Hi everyone.
I'm a big lada fan, but I do not have a lada, yet. I am a motor apprentice (just waiting to get a date to do my trade test) so I am very interested in the technical side. I hope to be able to share my thoughts with you guys. Please keep your fingers crossed so that I can get my hands on a lada a.s.a.p.
Charles
P.s If anyone lives near J-Bay and has a lada needing attention that they want to sell cheap please let me know. ;D

Welcome again Charles - I am sure a Lada will suit you like a glove.
If you are looking for a real cheapie, I would advice you to take extra care as well......
Regards
Danie

Hi Charles
My father picked up some parts for me from Ventz on Saterday and told me there were about 15 ladas in his yard, most of which didn't look like they were running. Give him a call and maybe for some dough he'll part with 1 of them. This way it would need a hell of a lot of work and be cheaper.

Hi Charles
I will be working on my Lada soon at my parents weekend house in J'bay, if you want to learn more of a Lada you could come and help. I need to rotate springs, install electronic ignition and do a carb upgrade all in one weekend.
Regards
Hein

Hey Charles You do realise that Chalou is not going to be happy if you buy a lada , cause you are going to spend more time with it than with her

Hi Ari
Why don't you stop in PE on your way to CSF. I would love to compare drive train noises while our Lada's can have a play date.

Hi Hein and Ari
Hein that would be great. Just send me a message when and where. I would love to help. Some real hands on experience would be wonderful.
Ari I know that part. Luckily she isn't full of nonsense when it comes to what I drive, because a lada isn't really luxurious. To be honest she also wants to get her hands dirty. ;D How lucky am I! (No really I am glad she wants to learn more about cars.)
Regards Charles

Hi Corne
Welcome to the forum. You can get the seal from any of the local dealers. They are Ventz from PMburg, Jan from Centurion or Chris Swales in Pinetown.
If you have the measurements you might even get it from spare shops?

Hi Corne
A very warm welcome to the Forum. The rear cranksft seal`s size is 70 x 90 x 10 and you should be able to get this at a good bearing supplier. The front seal I have not had out so I can`t help you with that one. A picture of your Lada would be appreciated.
